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.
Stop wasting time on the job site because you don't understand what is happening.
Stop being overlooked for opportunities with chillers by the guy who sounds better than he is.
Stop sounding foolish trying to explain how the chiller works and why it's a problem.
Stop waiting for your company to finally give you chiller training so you can "get your chance".
Stop wanting to be a Chiller Technician and become one.
Stop changing parts without knowing why and hoping it works. (parts changers can survive in other markets but can't make it in chillers)
Stop trying to do this alone.
Multiple Learning Formats
1- I like to learn from video so I did those.
2- I like podcasts a lot and sometimes cell service sucks so an audio only is all you have.
3- I struggle reading with a bit of dyslexia but your not me so I put written summaries in there too.
4- You study the material in the order that fits you. You are not required to follow the structure, you know how you learn better than I do.
Chiller 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.
The Chiller Community
You don't have to do this alone. Some of us, as hard as it is to believe, actually care and want to help.
