The University of Nairobi has partnered with LG to introduce a multi-million Air Conditioning Academy East Africa.
Launched last week in Nairobi, the half a million US-dollar academy will present a structured channel for imparting advanced knowledge and new expertise in installation and maintenance of air conditioning system.
"The Academy fills an existing gap of training institutions in this field in Africa and will adequately equip professionals in the region with advanced technology in air conditioning," said LG Executive Vice President Teddy Hwang.
"Heating and cooling technology is developing fast and as a result, it is vital that the industry stays up-to-date with the latest developments," said Mr Hwang.
Practical skills
"We hope to promote and develop the skills that the air conditioner, heating and plumbing industries need to stay ahead of the game through the academy."
The LG Air Conditioning Academy will enrol engineers, air conditioning installers, developers, owners, investors and air conditioning salesmen.
Trainees will apply for courses that run for between 1-3 days depending on the subject of the training. Mr Hwang says the academy will admit trainees from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and other parts of Africa.
Mr. Hwang said the LG Air Conditioning Academy would provide the newest product information as well as offers practical ways of learning by providing trainees with actual samples.
LG has established more than 60 similar academies around the world providing innovative, design-oriented and round-the-clock technology for air conditioning professionals.
