Learning HVACR Just Got Easier
Being on the front lines of education, we know that the HVACR industry is reinventing how training is prepared, delivered and consumed, to meet the needs of our students, technicians and customers. A few months ago, we created and implemented an exciting new training platform, with multiple options, to meet the needs of industry professionals, as well those preparing to embark on HVACR careers, called the ESCO Learning Network (ELN).
ELN is a destination where individuals can obtain information, access digital curriculum, immersive learning, streaming videos, watch webinars, find industry news, and participate in live events – confident that the information being presented is of the highest quality and has been properly vetted. In addition, many of the programs allow one to earn and download a continuing education unit certificate upon completion of a course.
Listed below are some of the channels now available on ELN. We invite you to take create a free account and take a look around.
