When I called the HVAC corporation to have my gas furnace cleaned last month, the lady asked if it would be okay if the HVAC professional brought one of her trainees with him, but she wanted him to look at a real gas furnace and not one that was staged with repairs.
She said the best way to train an HVAC professional was to put him in the field and let him get her hands dirty; I enjoyed what she was saying because I had been through this once! Before I retired, I was an HVAC professional… When I was just out of HVAC school, I was hired to work at the instructor’s HVAC corporation, and looking forward to laboring with a outdated HVAC professional.
I didn’t assume I would be laboring with the owner of the HVAC corporation. I was worried and worried about mistakes, and my boss told me it was normal to make mistakes when you first started out. Working with your boss made it even harder. I remembered being an HVAC trainee, and I was more than gleeful to allow the HVAC professional to bring one with him… The only thing that worried me was when they called back and asked if they could bring more than one or numerous people with them? I was sure it would be nothing but a fiasco with numerous trainees and only one HVAC instructor to work with them, however of course, I knew I could go downstairs and help the instructor, if she needed another pair of hands. I was a actually wonderful HVAC professional when I was still laboring.
