HVAC Diagnostics - AC Systems Badge Details
Objective
Built on the foundation of the most trusted brand in the industry, Snap-on provides the essential TOOLS FOR LIFE that shape the future of tomorrow’s workforce — certification programs, industry-supported curriculum and hands-on training with Snap-on products. The Snap-on HVAC DIAGNOSTICS INSTRUMENTS Certification is designed to train technicians in the advanced technologies needed to successfully test building heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) system performance. Participants will prepare and operate specialized tools to test for indoor air quality, carbon monoxide, air distribution, pressure and vacuum testing, temperature, fluid integrity, and combustible gases. Students and technicians who successfully complete the course will leave with the capabilities required for testing HVAC systems. This certification focuses on the cooling (AC) side of the HVAC Diagnostics.
