Advanced Diploma of Engineering [HVAC]

If you want to continue to develop specialist skills in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, then the Advanced Diploma of Engineering (HVAC) is the course to study. You will gain a number of advanced skills during your studies such as designing and implementing HVAC systems using CAD (computer-aided drafting), understanding fluid and thermodynamics principles, and the use of psychometric processes.

When you complete this course, you will have the knowledge to evaluate thermal loads and performance, analyze noise and vibration, apply energy management principles, use building information modeling (BIM) software, and apply engineering mechanics principles. Please be advised that a component of this course requires you to uses maths skills such as calculus, algebra, statistics, and probability. As a student, you will be encouraged to register for student membership with the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH), which will provide you with access to a range of industry events where you will have valuable networking opportunities.

Please note, that this is an engineering-based qualification and will not result in a trade qualification being issued. The HVAC facilities at South Metropolitan TAFE, are considered to be Western Australia’s premier center for heating, ventilation and air conditioning studies. The purpose-built facility is among the best in the southern hemisphere. When you complete this course you will have a solid foundation to advance your career or continue your studies at the university level.
