Sheet Metal workers are vital to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Workers in this field will learn to fabricate ductwork and install air distribution systems. You will learn how to use portable power tools, metal fabrication equipment, and welding and cutting equipment. The importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and its implications for health, energy efficiency, and comfort ensures that skilled sheet metals workers will continue to be in demand.
The requirements for this certificate program may be achieved within one year of full-time study.

This course is designed to provide learners with a basic understanding of the components of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) building systems and their principles of operation.
Prerequisites:
In this course, learners acquire the knowledge of the basic operation of equipment and components of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.
This course is designed to provide learners with an opportunity to refresh their skills in mathematics and apply them in the sheet metal industry.
This course introduces learners to materials commonly used in the sheet metal industry, their properties, and related terminology.
An important part of the Sheet Metal Fabrication program is the applied work experience component. This structured and supervised work placement provides learners with an opportunity to combine theory with practice in a real-life workplace environment. Each day, learners are exposed to the conditions and expectations of a trade work environment. As learners deepen their knowledge and develop their professional and trade skills, they are encouraged to document, reflect upon, and evaluate their experiential learning. The connection between classroom theory and an authentic work environment is explored at the end of the work term in the form of a presentation where learners share their expectations, assumptions, challenges, new ideas, and learning outcomes during their placement.
This course provides an introduction to the meaning of community service. Students learn how community service can enhance a student’s educational experience, personal growth, employability, and civic responsibility. Students participate in one day of volunteering to enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and to help the New Brunswick Community College realize its vision of transforming lives and communities.
In this course, learners focus on applying communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, document use, and critical thinking to make communication effective and efficient while developing computer-related skills necessary to be successful in college and on the job in a trade.
