The CD-based interactive program will continue to be developed over the next year and will cover the remaining Technical Institute manual. The Technical Institute HVAC/R Training Manual 3 Interactive CD-ROM program will begin at the end of October 2003 with the release of disc one. Subsequent discs will be released one each month for 12 months.
The CD-based interactive program allows HVAC/R service technicians to complete training based on their schedule and to enter into the program at any time. At the end of each manual, enrollees have the option to take a proctored, closed-book exam to receive a Certificate of Completion. Successful exam completion also can advance RSES members through the RSES Technical Institute.
