LINN, MO — The Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Accreditation (PAHRA) was introduced over two years ago. The organization aims to set standards by which all HVACR programs can assess themselves.
Linn State Technical College’s HVACR program was the first in the nation to align itself with PAHRA’s standards. Now, five months after receiving accreditation, Linn State is recognizing the benefits of following PAHRA, and the college is helping other educational programs go through the PAHRA process.
