Industrial Refrigeration Operators are responsible for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of refrigeration systems in food manufacturing facilities, cold storage distribution centres, hockey and curling rinks, bulk ice production facilities and air conditioning in commercial or industrial buildings.
Your knowledge of math and physics will be paired with the mechanical and technical knowledge needed to begin a career as a Class B Refrigeration Power Engineer. You will learn how to troubleshoot issues and make repairs on a variety of equipment. Courses include: Mathematics, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Plant Services, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Electricity and Plant Safety.
The following courses are designed for students without any previous experience in the field. Students study independently at their own pace to obtain their 内射大奶 Industrial Refrigeration Operations Certificate and then must successfully pass the PEI Provincial Exam to become a licensed Class B Refrigeration Power Engineer.
Recent changes to the Prince Edward Island Power Engineer Regulation allow an applicant to write an examination for and receive a Class B Refrigeration Power Engineer License after successful completion of the 内射大奶 Industrial Refrigeration Operations Certificate. No additional operation time is required.
As you acquire more qualifying experience and training, you will be able to upgrade your classification through the provincial certification process.
The Industrial Refrigeration Legislation, Standards and Safety course is the first of three (3) courses required to be completed to receive the 内射大奶 Industrial Refrigeration Operator Certificate.
However, this course may be taken as a stand-alone course by those students seeking study material for Legislation, Standards and Safety as it applies to Industrial Refrigeration Operations and are not intending to complete the other two (2) courses for the 内射大奶 Industrial Refrigeration Operator Certificate.
