HVARC Online Courses
Dutchess BOCES Adult Career & Technical Education division is pleased to announce that we now have an HVAC Technician course available online.
HVAC Technician [320 hours]
This nationally recognized HVAC online course and training program is offered in partnership with HVACReducation.net to bring you the only online HVAC Core Technician Training program of its kind on the web. This online certificate program is offered in partnership with major colleges, universities, and other accredited education providers.
Included within the HVAC Core Technician Program are a number of competency check off sheets. These have been prepared for the purpose of verifying student skills learned in the online courses. Students are encouraged to work directly with a local contractor or technician [either in a work situation or lab setting]. After students complete the learning module or course, they print the related competency check off sheets and demonstrate their abilities under the supervision of a qualified technician. This enforces the online learning and creates industry relationships that will support new HVACR technicians.
Below is a sample of check off sheets included with the Fundamentals and Safety Courses alone.
