About the Course:

This microcredential equips learners with the hands-on skills needed to install, connect, and commission residential and light commercial package HVAC units, including rooftop units (RTUs), window units, and PTAC systems. Covering everything from equipment placement to critical procedures like electrical setup, condensate management, and refrigerant charging, this course provides a complete, step-by-step approach to installing packaged systems.

Through immersive, 3D-enhanced instruction and realistic virtual reality (VR) simulations, learners gain practical experience installing a range of package unit types—preparing them to work confidently and accurately on real-world job sites. Advance your career further with our comprehensive HVAC training.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand proper equipment placement for package units according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements.
  • Install, connect, and commission rooftop units (RTUs), window air conditioners, and packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs).
  • Perform essential procedures including electrical wiring, ductwork connection, condensate drainage setup, and refrigerant line preparation.
  • Execute startup processes, system testing, and troubleshooting for package HVAC systems.
  • Apply industry best practices for safety, airflow optimization, and energy-efficient installation.

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
