The Climate Control curriculum provides opportunities to develop the skills necessary for entry into the HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) industry.  The Climate Control curriculum allows the students to choose between completing a program in Climate Control (HVAC) Mechanics, which leads to a diploma with an emphasis in residential heating and air-conditioning or a program in Climate Control (HVAC) Technology, which leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree with an emphasis in commercial heating and air-conditioning. Both programs are designed around a common group of courses.  The Climate Control (HVAC) Mechanics diploma program is designed to provide graduates with the basic knowledge and skills necessary for installing and servicing residential heating and air-conditioning systems. Theory of operation, as well as installation and service techniques, for several types of residential heating and air-conditioning systems is covered. Upon successful completion of the first two terms of the Climate Control curriculum and SDV-135, Job Seeking Skills, with a grade point average of 2.00 (C) or higher, the student is awarded a diploma.  The Climate Control (HVAC) Technology Program prepares students for entry into the commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning industry. Upon satisfactory completion of the A.A.S. degree program, the student will qualify for an HVAC Service Technician license through the State of Iowa.  Entrance Advising Due to the highly technical nature of this program and NIACC's commitment to giving students the best possible opportunity for success, students will be scheduled for advisement sessions with counselors and program personnel. In these sessions, the student's career plans, previous background, transcripts, test scores, life experiences, and motivation will aid in designing a positive education experience."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-20b0d337-c2de-43b5-a994-d3f4bfc70b78"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.niacc.edu/industrial/heating-and-air-conditioning-technology/heating-and-air-conditioning-technology-degree","ceterms:audienceLevelType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/AudienceLevel","ceterms:targetNode":"audLevel:PostSecondaryLevel","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Audience Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Post-Secondary Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Intended for those who have completed secondary level school programs or equivalent."}}],"ceterms:estimatedDuration":[{"@type":"ceterms:DurationProfile","ceterms:exactDuration":"P2Y"}],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=56","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=47.0201","ceterms:codedNotation":"47.0201","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Refrigeration Maintenance Technology/Technician"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to repair, install, service and maintain the operating condition of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.
