Programme highlights
Do you want to shorten your apprenticeship in refrigeration and air conditioning?
You could find yourself installing an air conditioning system in an office building one day and then fixing a commercial freezer on a fishing boat the next.
Learn the practical skills you need to become a refrigeration and air conditioning technician. If you don't already have an apprenticeship, study this programme to cut your apprenticeship off-the-job learning by up to a year.
At MIT our refrigeration and air conditioning facilities include a coolroom and up-to-date testing equipment.
