The training that students currently receive is focused on issues of installation, maintenance and repair of air conditioning, which, according to Capote, are the main output of work. Content will also be given on refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, cold nets and cold tanks, automotive air conditioning, installation and repair in cars, buses, agricultural machinery, harvesters, tractors and all equipment that has an air system. The program, which began on September 30, offers an academic and practical class every fortnight and will last six months. At the end of the Course, a diploma will be awarded that has national validity since it has the registration of the Ministry of Education and Culture. In this way the student will receive the title of Technician in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning that enables him to work on his own or to do it in public and private companies.
