Developed with the assistance of employers in this field, this competency-based, modularised programme usually takes two years to complete. Students will experience lectures, practical assignments, and self-directed activities as they proceed at their own rate through the modules, working with an Instructor and being evaluated on a skill by skill basis. In addition to instruction in the theoretical aspects of heating, ventilation and air conditioning repair, extensive practical experience in an internship is an integral part of the programme. Graduates will be eligible to receive an industry-recognised certificate in HVAC from the National Centre for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and also meet the Bermuda National Training Board standard for entering the Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Technology trade.
