What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Duct sections for standard HVAC systems — fabricate independently from shop drawings using shears, brakes, and rollers in a production shop environment.
  • Layout dimensions and reference lines — calculate and mark on roofing panels and duct blanks using dividers and calculators with minimal oversight.
  • Seams and joints — assemble using welds, bolts, rivets, solder, or cement on moderate-complexity assemblies at commercial construction sites.
  • Prefabricated parts and tools — load, secure, and transport to job sites, confirming inventory against work orders before departure.
  • Flashing, gutters, and downspouts — install into supportive frameworks following installation sequences on light commercial or residential projects.
  • HVAC duct assemblies and furnace casings — fit and secure in mechanical rooms, coordinating placement with adjacent trades to avoid conflicts.
  • Hand and power tools — maintain and perform minor repairs or blade replacements to keep equipment in safe working condition during a project.
  • Spreadsheet software — use to record material quantities and track job progress on routine assignments with periodic supervisor review.
  • Apprentices and helpers — provide on-the-job guidance on basic layout and fastening techniques under a journeyman's direction.
  • Time and task sequencing — manage across multiple daily work assignments to meet project milestones on mid-size construction sites.
