MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. — HVAC Excellence announced that the HVACR training program at Lawson State Community College in Bessemer, Alabama has been granted accreditation.

Lawson State has been named one of the top five community colleges and was recognized by the White House as a Champion of Change. They wanted to make certain their air conditioning and refrigeration program met high standards, so to accomplish this, they voluntarily chose to undergo accreditation of their program.

Programmatic accreditation is an independent, third-party review of an educational program, comparing it to established, industry-accepted standards. These standards are designed to ensure that the future workforce receives the quality training required for success in the HVACR industry.

Upon a thorough review of all the documentation presented by the administration, faculty, and the onsite accreditation team, the HVAC Excellence accreditation review board unanimously decided to grant accreditation of the program.
