SUMTER, S.C. — Central Carolina Technical College in Sumter has been granted accreditation of its Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) program by HVAC Excellence.

In order to pursue accreditation, the staff at the school had to submit a self-study filled with narratives and examples of how it complied with each of the required standards. The self-study, once completed, was sent to HVAC Excellence, allowing its accreditation review board to thoroughly assess for compliance against each standard.  HVAC Excellence, having approved the self-study, sent a team to conduct an intense, on-site review of the program. The on-site team consisted of two members, one who served as an HVACR instructor, the other as a school administrator. These on-site team members were seasoned professionals that possessed the knowledge, training, and experience to successfully evaluate every aspect of an HVACR program.
