HVAC-R students earn NC3 certifications

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration students at North Platte Community College are now NC3-certified in four areas: residential airflow, refrigeration diagnostics, variable speed motors and air-to-air heat pumps.

To receive the certifications, they had to go through a “hands-on” course led by a qualified instructor using appropriate tools, equipment and practice materials in their labs. Upon completion, the students took online exams.

The Trane certifications were developed and administered by NC3 and are compatible with other industry-recognized certifications.
