CPD purposes This program is designed for engineers and technicians from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and
will provide an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. It
commences with a review of psychrometric charts and then examines the factors that influence design
choices, indoor air quality, load calculations and heating/ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
Numerous tips and tricks throughout the program make it very practical and topical to your applications.
Presentation format
The certificate program features real-world
applications and uses a multi-pronged approach
involving self-study, interactive online webinars
and homework assignments with a mentor on call.
The program consists of 12 modules, over a period
of 3 months.
Some modules may involve a practical component
or group activity. For each module there will be an
initial reading assignment along with coursework
or problems to be handed in and in some cases
practical exercises. Participants will have ongoing
support from their lecturer and program
coordinator.
Program reading material will be delivered in
electronic (PDF) format in advance of online
presentations. Presentations and group
discussions will be conducted using a live
interactive software system. Assignments will be
submitted electronically and wherever possible,
practical exercises will be conducted using
simulation software and remote labs.
Includes 4 free
Reference Manuals Over 1400 pages of tables,
live webinars valued at over US$400
charts, figures and handy hints

During the program you will participate in 6 live
interactive sessions with the lecturer and other
participants from around the world. Each webinar
will last approximately 90 minutes, and we take
student availability into consideration wherever
possible before scheduling webinar times. Contact
us for details of webinar session scheduling. All
you need to participate is an adequate Internet
connection, speakers and a microphone. The
software package and setup details will be sent to
you prior to the first webinar.
Please note: Webinars may last up to 2 hours
depending on student interaction and level of content.
You will receive 4 of our up-to-date
technical eBooks to add to your library.
• Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering
• Practical Corrosion Management
• Pipeline Systems – Design, Construction, Maintenance and
Asset Management
• Best Practice Design, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
of Conveyors and Chutes
Received upon completion.
All materials required for the program will be provided electronically, in smaller, easy-to-read sections.
Please Note: eBooks are available in hard copy at 50% of the recommended retail price. Contact us for pricing details.
