Aristotle stated in Nicomachean Ethics, “What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing”
Deep in the 5th and 6th week all are crafting their HVAC diagnostics, troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, recovery, and so much more. The amount of growth with their knowledge, skills, and abilities within the HVAC Service Technician world is quite remarkable.
It is truly amazing how much one can learn (especially by DOING) in six weeks.
Scrapping HVAC and AC units involve safely draining refrigerants, stripping outer panels, and separating valuable copper tubing, aluminum-copper coils, and electric motors to maximize profit at local metal recycling yards.
Like always, safety is an important habit to form. When it comes to scrapping, it is suggested to wear heavy-duty gloves and safety glasses when handling sharp sheet metal or using power tools, in this case we used a reciprocating saw (often referred to as a Sawzall).
What can you learn in four weeks?
At HVAC Technical Academy, you will be learning, living, and doing HVAC life in its fullest. Our six-week learn-by-doing approach is unlike any other program out there. To gain a glimpse of what YOU will be doing, look at the photos presented over the past month (or several years).
Today we are combining two of my favorite things: pizza and HVAC.
All participants are working hard and handling an appetite to match as this afternoon we will be working with air flow distribution… plenum / return boxes here we come.
Heard it say journeys all begin with one step… and then another… and so the steps go on and on. When it comes to entering one of the most in-demand careers, HVAC, for many, the first step begins at HVAC Technical Academy… when researching why, it’s pretty clear.
Yesterday the day was filled with rain… not the best day one but then again, the first week is designed to dig deep into understanding HVAC systems, components, and safety. Overall, we were productive on many levels.
