My experience at Fred's Appliance Academy was excellent. Fred's Flats accommodations were completely furnished and comfortable. The Refrigeration class was A+++ I wanted hands on experience making repairs on the sealed system and I had plenty of hands on time to get comfortable. We had a chance to braze and we did alot of soldering. The comradery amongst the students was high. The food was enjoyable. The facility is well furnished with all the tools, appliances for training and diagnostics to make a successful program. If you want to learn appliances, this is the place to go!
