The Commercial Systems Service Tech certificate program combines both lecture and hands on components for commercial heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration maintenance and installation training. The certificate will serve students who are currently in the field and can demonstrate advanced proficiency or those students who have completed the courses necessary for the Advanced Air Conditioning Tech Certificate. The Commercial Systems courses deliver advanced content that is not appropriate for students who have not had the initial training on residential equipment. Students will be trained on commercial equipment and will use advanced digital controls like those found in a large commercial buildings or multi- building campuses. Employment of heating and air-conditioning technicians is projected to increase 28 percent during the 2008-18 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the number of buildings and renovations grow, so does the demand for commercial and industrial climate-control systems. Increased complexity of HVACR systems, which increases the possibility that equipment may malfunction, also will create opportunities for commercial service technicians.
