“We consistently hear from recruiters in the region that there is a clear demand for not only electricians, but also highly skilled and trained HVAC and electronic systems technicians,” said Scott Shaw, president and CEO of Lincoln Tech. “Our Moorestown campus has been a trusted partner in producing skilled technicians for a variety of job titles since 2010, and we’re now proud to help fill the HVAC and electrical skills shortage as well.”
The certification HVAC training program takes approximately one year to complete. Students receive 1,200 hours of instruction, much of which is hands-on with Hampden trainers in simulated field situations. Topics covered include commercial refrigeration systems, basic refrigeration systems, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems. Students learn to install, troubleshoot, repair and maintain equipment, controls and power, and also receive advanced electrical and troubleshooting instruction before completing the program.
With a similar timeline and wide range of hours, the EEST training program focuses on electrical and electronic systems concepts related to the installation, troubleshooting, repair and maintenance of commercial and residential systems. Students are introduced to career paths in the entertainment, security, surveillance and communications fields and are trained in the skills needed for an entry-level residential electrician job.
Upon completion of these programs, students are encouraged to apply for manufacturer-sponsored training with Hussmann Refrigeration and Johnson Controls International. These global employers are actively seeking new candidates to join their workforces and often cover training and relocation costs, allowing graduates to embark on a more direct route to a new career with little to no additional cost.
