About the Course

Air conditioning demand in Rwanda is growing fast — homes, offices, shops and vehicles all need units installed, serviced and repaired. This course trains you to do all three, on both split-unit systems and vehicle AC.

You'll learn to install a system correctly from the start (evacuation and charging done right), not just patch problems after the fact.

  • Install split-unit AC systems from scratch
  • Service both home/office and vehicle AC
  • Learn safe refrigerant charging and leak detection
  • Taught by working technicians, not just instructors
  • Finish ready to freelance, get hired, or start your own business
