HVAC Service Technician Certificate (CT.ACRST 60845)

The HVAC Service Technician Certificate is designed to prepare students who have completed the HVAC Installer Certificate to solve air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration problems on the job. As systems become more complex, service technicians must have the training to solve complex problems on the spot. Due to a growing shortage of skilled-trades people and a growing number of position openings, this program has very high job placement for graduates seeking employment. This certificate may be completed in one semester.
