Course Feedback
"I really think your a great teacher you bring it down Barney style and explain things better than a school house would." - Piotr S.
"Great job. Looking forward to honing my skills and updating my knowledge on the different models of chillers in the field." - Benny
"I'll take this. My trade school failed me, made me wish I just did an apprenticeship from the start." - B. Love
"WOW, just started working on chillers in the past year, this is amazing." - NC
"Great beginner's course. As a older chiller tech, screws and centrifugals. It was great refresher for me." - George B.
"Look forward to additional content." - Terrie L.
"Great start!" - Stephen K.
"I have really been enjoying the courses so far I am about 70% through. Although I don’t get to touch chillers everyday I have found myself making solid connections from these courses." - Jacob K.
"It’s great! You are going over each concept/metric/vitals/function in simple way, yet in depth. I use to think that it needs more live examples… till I started applying what I have learned here on live equipment. Just by looking and monitoring, a lot made connection in my head" - Tom S.
Comfortably understand what components are and how they work.
Confidently communicate with customers about what is wrong and why your recommendation is important.
Troubleshoot faster and more confident.
Know what to look for and not chase the wrong issue.
Look good with your company as a knowledgeable and trained chiller technician.
Grow your resume with as a Certified Chiller Tech.
Chiller Technician Certification
Chiller Technicians require a lot of certifications to be allowed on many job sites. This says you know more than just the one machine you got to take a three day class for.
