i hate not knowing if i am saying some thing thats already been said..so, Has there ever been any serious consideration of offering C.E.U.'s on HVAC ?
I think it would allow many Teachers to Bring the class room to the interested .i came to this conclusion in that momment of lucid awareness of mine where i came up for breath on my dinner and decied to look on the community board for a change...i would be interested and i also would front out some dollars for classes were they offered..actually i would more than likely wish to spend more on over educating myself than just enough to get by.
I think id like to hear what you have previously disscussed on this topic..any links? every year i attend as many classes as time will allow and that usually equates to about three times the requirement ...however the instances of hearing of a class and having to let it go also happens and about three times now Alan ,Dan Firedragon ,Tim have stated they had a class somewhere or other and i think in my mind it would be great if they could work some class out thru HVAC i have no idea the vagarities or costs involved however it seems that it would benifit many more people over a greater range were it possible...

    BlackBoard

    A neighbor of mine is an administrator for the blackboard at a local University. There were a lot of flaws that are no longer an issue. But still, it requires a lot of work. When you have credits on the line there must be a way to “identify” the actual person is doing the work. The blackboard is an extension to a course as far as I’m aware of.

    I too would be interested in online education (receiving), it is very hard to commit to two nights a week at the local college and I have in the past taken up classes where I learned that sitting around the shop with the service techs for an hour was much more instructional. Goes to say for some instructors, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

    I would be very much interested in doing something similar for the sheet metal mechanic (installers) in our industry. Because of the hands on experience necessary in much of the work in fabrication, one could concentrate and do more in the area of learning job preparation and how things are done. Fastening systems, job layout, and fire dampers. How forced air systems work. Types of forced air systems, the purpose of reheat coils?

    There are many hours of instruction, if you think about it, which can be brought to the table? I'm game to learn more and to help out where I'm able to. I think many of us can use "continuing education" credits or no credits :)
