What this course covers
A beginner-friendly introduction to HVAC careers, safety, tools, the refrigeration cycle, heating and cooling components, basic electrical and controls, airflow, and preventive maintenance concepts. This is online career-foundations and pre-apprenticeship preparation — it is not technician licensure and not a substitute for supervised, hands-on training. You will never be asked to handle refrigerants, open energized equipment, or perform hazardous procedures.

- Describe HVAC career pathways and typical jobsite expectations
- Recognize common HVAC hazards and a safety-first, PPE-aware mindset
- Identify common tools and take basic measurements
- Explain refrigeration-cycle concepts at a conceptual level
- Identify major heating and cooling system components
- Understand basic electrical and control concepts used in HVAC
- Explain airflow and duct fundamentals
- Describe preventive maintenance and troubleshooting concepts
- Understand the EPA Section 608 structure and certification pathways
- Prepare for an apprenticeship or entry-level application
