Seven years ago Chris Compton, a 13 year HVACR instructor at North Idaho College, was looking for a way to implement HVACR curriculum on the Internet. He saw a unique opportunity to help traditional students as well as non-degree seeking students, contractors and the industry in general, all those searching for a way to educate their workers to be successful in the ICE and NATE exams or those needing re-training programs for individuals looking for a career change.
During this time Chris has taken many telelearning courses on how to set up online curriculum and the psychology behind online learning, how to create web pages, video instruction and design courses for the web. Currently, Chris is the Project Director and Content Development Manager {as well as chief cook and bottle washer} of the online effort called HVACReducation.net.
