Some 5 stars reviews from the students:

“I have struggled with HVAC and getting my head around the concepts for a very long time. I took a course on it in my postgraduate schooling, and still couldn’t understand it. This course has made all of these concepts suddenly clear and I understand how to apply them. I’m only half way through but I am seriously impressed with the clarity of the information and the fantastic examples Mike has put together to drive the concepts home. Thanks for a great course!” -Zoe Zeiler

“I learned an enormous amount of info from this course. The course is very well-structured with full of information in it. This taught me a lot about HVAC Fundamentals and BMS Control as what the Course Title says. Upon finishing this Fundamental course, I felt that I have gained solid foundation and ready for more advance pertaining to HVAC subject. Great job instructor. I highly recommend this course to everyone.” -Jhoe Missi

“Clear explanation of concepts for beginners such as me. Good number of examples and thought provoking problems that help you apply the taught concepts. Worth the pay.” – Subashini Urkavalan

“I enjoy going over the basics all the time to keep myself in-tune and up-dated all the time. I have 25 years experience in the HVAC industry but you still learn everyday. Thank you for a great course and a awesome attempt to do so in English. I have again learnt alot more than I originally knew before the course.” – Bruce

“Crystal clear explanation on a not so easy topic! As an ACMV electrician that is mainly involved with the controls and power, it was really useful for me to get a deeper understanding of the mechanical side of things, for which this course was perfect.”  – Dries Herreman

“Course well designed. All of my doubts cleared. Good for fundamentals.” –Deepak Kumar Swain

“I think it is a good match for me as a starting point and the lecture was very thorough and clear. Excellent!” – Carlos Zapata
