Mechanical Installation Technician

2 years/ 120 European Credits Transfer Systems (ECTS), Diploma

The program’s language of instruction is Greek

Program’s purpose and objectives:

The general purpose of the Program of Study Mechanical Installation Technician (two years diploma) is to provide its candidates the required knowledge and experience to obtain a full-time position in the field of mechanical installations. The program will support its candidates to become gradually familiar with the disciplines of manufacturing, installation and maintenance of mechanical installations. Specifically, the program aims to provide the necessary scientific and practical background to its candidates in the areas of plumbing, heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, renewable energy technologies installers including small-scale biomass boilers and stoves, solar thermal systems, shallow geothermal systems and heat pumps, as well as installations in the field of lifting equipment. The program aims to bridge theory with practice, allowing the candidates to perform adequately their duties and understand the responsibilities in the field of the mechanical installation technician. The program will also provide its graduates the opportunity to continue their studies to acquire higher qualifications.

Intended learning outcomes:
