Student Testimonial

​"This course is loaded with valuable information for multiple systems and points of interest. I would highly recommend this course to any partner or colleague interested in learning more about how to set up, inspect, and operate multiple systems for Building control and automation. I am able to work more independently since taking this course, I have successfully troubleshooted a number of issues I have encountered without the need to ask for help of the senior technician, and I now understand how many devices operate including their purpose, and what to do if that device malfunctions."
