I heard about Crystal Air through my construction teacher in Secondary School. She had said they were offering Apprenticeships in air conditioning and refrigeration.

So, I looked into the trade and what it was about and found that it was a mixture of plumbing and electrical work mixed with the refrigerant side of things. What interested me was that I would be out on the road and in different places all the time meeting new people as well as the possible opportunity to work abroad.

For anyone who is interested in taking up an apprenticeship in air conditioning and refrigeration it is an excellent trade to get into and there are endless opportunities once you are qualified, as you will be trained in all the services that make up the buildings such as ventilation, heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing. There is a wide variety of work to be carried out and no 2 days are the same.

Following on from completing my apprenticeship I found I had a massive interest in learning more about the other services within a building and how they are selected. The Engineering services course incorporates the design aspect and how to piece all the different services together to ensure the building is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
