YAZOO CITY, Miss. — Holmes Community College will offer an HVAC Basics course at the Yazoo Center, located at 637 East 15th St. in Yazoo City, beginning Oct. 14.
The course, taught by instructor Leroy McBride, will meet on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30-8 p.m. for six weeks, totaling 30 instructional hours.
The cost is $35 per participant. Class size is limited to 15, and participants must be at least 18 years old. Students who complete the program will receive a Holmes certificate of completion in Basic HVAC. The course is non-credit bearing and is facilitated by the Holmes Workforce Training division.
The course will cover the fundamentals of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, including safety procedures, basic electrical principles, refrigerant cycles and troubleshooting techniques. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools and equipment while learning how to perform routine maintenance and identify common system issues.
While this class is designed to provide a foundation of HVAC knowledge, additional training or certifications may be required depending on the position students pursue. Entry-level jobs in the HVAC field may include roles such as maintenance assistant, installer helper or technician trainee. The program can also serve as a first step for those interested in advancing into skilled technician positions or furthering their education in HVAC technology.
“HVAC is a high-demand trade that offers strong career opportunities,” said Holmes Workforce Development Coordinator Melissa Love. “This course will give participants a solid starting point, whether they are interested in working in residential systems, commercial operations or continuing their education in this growing field.”
