College Certificate Requirements Wayne County Community College District • College Certificate About the Program The Geothermal Systems Technology Certificate is designed to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical application experiences necessary for a sustainable career in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, (HVAC) industry where ground source heat energy is used for heating and cooling the interior of a building. Students acquire hands-on skills in troubleshooting, maintenance, installation, operation, and repair and replacement of related equipment. Students will focus on exterior field work and interior mechanical equipment installations. Exterior work includes boreholes, ground heat exchangers, header systems, and excavation. Interior work includes pressure testing, manifolds and connections to the ground source heat pump equipment. Student will also be introduced to load calculations and blueprint reading for designing geothermal systems. Certificate credits may be combined with additional coursework to enhance the traditional HVAC (Heating,Ventilation &Air Conditioning) degree, transfer and associate programs at WCCCD. Certificate credits also may be combined with additional training, job experience and/or professional examinations to qualify for certification by national renewable energy institutions. Students completing the WCCCD Geothermal Systems Technology Certificate Program are eligible for certification with the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association as an Accredited Installer. Incumbent HVAC workers and other technical professionals are encouraged to investigate how a Geothermal REHC Certificate may relate to their current work or business practices. Admission Requirements Students are required to do the following: • Fulfill all WCCCD admission requirements • Fulfill course placement requirements based on COMPASS test. • Students must complete WCCCD Program Application and submit to the Campus Academic Officer. Certificate Requirements • Students must complete all course work with a grade of “C” or better to meet graduation requirements.
