Boss was sending me out to do a PM on a little brewery chiller. This short course was VERY helpful. Looking at taking the basic refer course these guys offer as well. I actually watched this video in my truck before pulling up. Also nice to have access to course for ever!

Good short course. There are a few guys in my shop that have taken some of PCA's courses. Overall these guys do a good job refrigeration and process chiller training.

I really like the idea of online training. Hard to find mobile device courses that actually work. Missed the coupon deal however its still a good value at full price. Will check in to your site from for new content. Also, like your podcasts!

Process Chiller Academy is well worth the investment. I originally heard about PCA training through my employer how hosted some classes at our shop. I liked the content so much that I enrolled myself. I have taken both the free mini classes as well as the PRO classes.

Found these guys on YouTube. After seeing some of their previews I decided to enroll as a student. After completing my PRO course, I ownloaded my certificate from the school and showed it to my boss. He was impressed that I took my own time to learn.

Great course! My service manager suggested that I check you guys out. After I completes this course, I texted a pic of my certificate to him. Two weeks latter I got a $2.00 hour raise! In less than two weeks I got my $189.00 I made in myself back. WOWZA!

Student Feedback
This course was very helpful. We service a good amount of breweries here in the Napa valley. When we get opportunities to go in on new accounts like to use the SystemSyzer tool to check existing pump performance against what the software suggests.

We worked this PCA short course into our in-house journeymen training program. Feedback on this course has been very good. Our in-house engineering team is hoping that PCA will come up with something a little more in-depth.

I missed to coupon deal you guys are currently running however even at the full price this short course is worth the investment. I have the SystemSyzer XL file on my tuck laptop and I know the software has more than paid for the course.

Good value for the $$. Cool that I can access this course on my smart phone. Had a hang up waiting on a crane to show up so I learned some stuff getting paid at the same time.
