What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Post-Baccalaureate Certificate)

Complex electrical control circuits in commercial HVAC equipment — trace, test, and repair autonomously using advanced diagnostic instruments across a full range of system types and voltages.
Non-routine system malfunctions — isolate root causes through systematic troubleshooting that integrates mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration knowledge without supervisory input.
Multi-system blueprints and engineering specifications — interpret independently to plan and sequence HVAC installations on large commercial or industrial construction sites.
Building owners and facility managers — consult with directly to gather malfunction histories, clarify operational expectations, and confirm that completed repairs have resolved reported issues.
Refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and recharge procedures — perform in full compliance with EPA Section 608 regulations across multiple refrigerant types on commercial refrigeration systems.
Variable-speed drives, economizers, and BAS integration points — commission and calibrate to optimize energy performance and system balance in complex multi-zone commercial installations.
Comprehensive preventive maintenance programs — develop, recommend, and execute for commercial accounts, including predictive indicators such as vibration checks and refrigerant subcooling analysis.
Installed systems — evaluate against quality control standards using analytical methods to verify performance specifications and document findings in detailed technical reports.
CAD drawings and system schematics — produce or redline accurately to reflect as-built conditions and support future service on complex HVAC projects.
Emerging HVAC technologies and code changes — integrate proactively into daily practice through self-directed learning to maintain expert-level competency across evolving equipment platforms.
