Why This Course

Built for the Real World

The commercial refrigeration industry is a $50+ billion global market. Grocery stores, restaurants, warehouses, and food processing facilities depend on systems that run 24/7/365. When they fail, the consequences are immediate — spoiled inventory, health code violations, and lost revenue. This course prepares you to be the technician who solves those problems.

Equipment-Specific Training

Walk-in coolers/freezers, reach-in units, display cases, ice machines, and supermarket rack systems — each with dedicated lessons.

Real-World Troubleshooting

Five complete service call scenarios that walk you through diagnosis, root cause analysis, and repair — the way it happens on the job.

Food Safety & Compliance

FDA Food Code, HACCP principles, EPA 608 refrigerant handling, and OSHA safety standards — the compliance knowledge employers require.

Advanced Diagnostics

Superheat, subcooling, pressure-temperature analysis, and systematic diagnostic methods that separate professionals from guessers.

Modern Refrigerants

R-404A, R-448A, R-290 (propane), R-744 (CO2 transcritical) — understand the refrigerant transition and what's replacing legacy chemicals.

Certification Aligned

Content maps directly to EPA 608 (Types I, II, III), NATE Commercial Refrigeration, and OSHA safety certification requirements.

Full Curriculum
