Parental Waiver: By registering my teenager for this hands-on course, I acknowledge that they will be working with electricity, natural gas, refrigerant, and mechanical devices.  Safety protocols will be followed and students will be supervised, but there is still a risk of injury.

The focus of this class is for students to learn a little about the heating and air conditioning industry, some of the equipment used, and to have some fun learning how to braze with a torch.

Class size is limited to 20 students due to the hands-on nature. Much of the time will be spent in our live-fire lab. Please wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. Lunch is provided.
