Nashville Campus aims to meet the needs of the community
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (December 5, 2017) – Remington College Nashville Campus is excited to announce the opening of a new Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) lab, which will be used as part of its new diploma program offering.
The first Nashville students in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) diploma program begin classes December 11. For several months, work has been underway to renovate part of the campus and install the heavy equipment, donated by Lennox, Trane, Donelson Air and Baker Distribution.
“We’re extremely grateful to the businesses in the community who have donated equipment for our Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning lab,” says Angel Almond, Remington College Nashville Campus President.
Remington programs give students classroom instruction and hands-on training.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that employment of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 15% from 2016 to 2026.1

While employment is not guaranteed upon completion of the program, students do receive specialized hands-on training that may qualify him or her for an entry-level position.”
The HVAC program is designed to provide students with skills in the fundamentals and practice of the HVAC industry. Students can earn a diploma in as little as 12 months.2
“It’s not too late to enroll,” says Almond. “We have program starts every month.”
