While it’s not always mentioned first when discussing HVAC-R services, the installation and maintenance of cooking and refrigeration products are seriously in-demand skills. Restaurants, schools, hotels, resorts — really, any location that provides food service — need highly skilled equipment technicians to stay operational. And the MEMA Technical Education Center is committed to training students interested in addressing this need.
Our Foodservice and Equipment course is a four-day intensive on commercial food equipment. This training takes place both in the classroom and in our state-of-the-art Food Equipment Lab. The class will cover how to repair gas and electric restaurant equipment and the ventilation and gas distribution from small to medium sized kitchen equipment. Students will also train on a char broiler, fryolator, griddle, pizza oven, and cook top units.
