What advice do you have for building and teaching an HVAC class?

I'm leaving my unit in less than six months and my supervisor just told me he wants me to give a class on my MOS so that the other mechanics can do my job wben I leave. As a lowly PFC, I don't know how to construct a quality class. Any fellow 91C/HVAC technicians out there wanna throw some advice my way?

Familiarize everyone with equipment and components. If possible give everyone a flow chart that labels components and on the back quick "how to". Then go through it. Shouldn't be more that a 30-45min class. Just tell them to follow along and tell them what you're doing.

Give them all a test to measure their knowledge and go from there

Hey, just stumbled upon your message, even if it's from way back when, couldn't resist throwing in my reply. As for an effective approach, I would suggest starting with the basics. Try elaborating on these elements through analogous real-world examples. You know, HVAC systems are like the human body. Ventilation is comparable to our lungs' function while heating and cooling components can be likened to blood circulation, and so on. Parallel your teachings to concepts they're already familiar with. Use actual cases, like the hamilton air conditioner repair on https://dynamicheatandcool.ca/services/air-conditioner/air-conditioner-repair/ , and guide them through it step-by-step, breaking it down into manageable tasks. Such a method tends to be less intimidating. Remember, we've all been beginners once. The key is to be patient and convey your knowledge in an understandable and engaging manner.
