A Cool Career

If you have heating or cooling problems, there’s nobody you’re happier to see than Danny Ramos. High school courses gave Danny a head start in his career as an HVAC technician. In fact, Danny was actually able to study HVAC systems as a junior and senior at Virginia Beach Technical and Career Education Center.

“I was able to earn a CFC Certification for handling refrigerants—that was a big plus when I went to work. Those classes gave me an overall foundation for most aspects of the trade. It was good to have that solid foundation to build on in the field.” Additional studies at Tidewater Community College rounded out Danny’s career preparation.
