Program ObjectivesThe air conditioning (HVACR) technology program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills required to become a state licensed independent business owner/contractor, or for employment in the industry as a technician in residential, commercial, and/or industrial air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating.
The program’s curriculum provides the basic preparation for entry-level jobs in the fields of air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating with initial focus on troubleshooting and service. As the student advances through the program, related topics of indoor air quality, load calculation, system design, and industry code standards are also covered.
The Fast Track to HVACR program allows students to complete an occupational certificate in just 16 weeks.
Job OpportunitiesGraduates of the air conditioning program will be entering a high demand field with excellent wage earning potential. Presently, industry advisors say the industry demand for technicians has a 10-year backlog.
Employment opportunities are:
• Residential/Commercial Technician
• Industrial or Maintenance Technician
• Independent Business Owner or Contractor
• Refrigeration Technician
Upon completion of each certificate, students may become certified with the state by reregistering with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
