Training Tomorrow’s Air Conditioning Technicians Today

Temperzone understands the importance of not only planning for the futures but also actively working to create a better tomorrow. With this in mind, Temperzone has recently partnered with Ultimo TAFE in Sydney on a number of exciting projects. News will bring you more information on others in the coming months, but first we’ll take a look at the testing lab.
 

Ultimo TAFE, the largest TAFE college in NSW offering over 700 courses, has built a fit for purpose Air-Conditioning testing lab on campus. TAFE’s across the nation play a critical role in by providing relevant and important training to students. The Testing Lab was designed to give students hands on training on a range of products including both Temperzone ducted and Hitachi Highwalls equipment which have been installed there to ensure students receive the proper grounding in our products.

The Air-Conditioning testing lab also offers a range of student centred learning activities such as piping configuration, volume flow rate measurement and installation consideration.

It is aimed towards a number of courses, providing invaluable, hands-on active learning to a wide range of students:
