Teach With Us!Derek AndersonInstructor, Light Commercial HVAC Certificate Program

“I enjoy their (the students’) technical growth that leadsto financial independence.”

This is the reason that Derek Anderson has been teaching with the Center forContinuing Education for over ten years! He believes that as competition in the globalmarkets continues to increase, many might find themselves left behind. With the influxof mergers and acquisitions, coupled with reduction in workforce policies, skill setsthat were viewed as valuable are now obsolete. The recession has caused atransformation in the service industry. While it was commonplace to be trained on thejob to some degree, it is now essential to secure professional credentials to work in itsrespective industry. HVAC is no different; the minimum requirement to work in theindustry is an EPA certification that covers Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. However,that will only allow you to handle refrigerants.

Becoming familiar with a host of theories, such as psychometrics, thermodynamics,heat load, calculation, duct design and Ohm's law, is necessary in understanding how

to apply proper techniques and principles that will ensure the safety of the public at large. HVAC credentials may start withEPA certification. However, many employers are requiring third-party technician competency certification. The scope of theindustry covers certifications, diplomas and degrees from Associates to Masters, but to operate and own a HVAC company,someone must secure a state air conditioning license by taking the six-hour exam. The license requires both practical andformal education. There is something for everyone who takes advantage of securing credentials in a market that is expected togrow 36% in the next eight years.
