Abstract: The Department of Education has undertaken an ambitious effort to develop statewide career and technical education skill standards. The standards in this document are for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) programs and are designed to clearly state what the student should know and be able to do upon completion of an advanced high-school program. The writing team determined that any statewide skill standards for programs that teach HVAC&R should be patterned as closely as possible to existing, national standards. The standards are also closely aligned and sequenced with postsecondary HVAC&R programs. These exit-level standards are designed for students completing an advanced program. Students at the appropriate level of instruction will be expected to demonstrate competence for all performance indicators in the "meets standard" domains for each performance standard. The standards as follows: (1) Content Standards; (2) Performance Standards; and (3) Performance Indicators.
