Group appliance installation certification
is done with a certified trainer in a room setting. This training not only covers
the written curriculum, but also gives visual and practical explanations using actual
appliances in real installation scenarios. Various methods of installation can be
demonstrated in the actual surroundings, rather than just in a textbook. Group appliance installation certification
also gives the student the ability to ask questions and receive immediate answers,as opposed to waiting for an answer from an online course. Historically, students
that have gone through a group appliance installation certification come away with a better
understanding of installation situations than just reading text and taking a test.
