LIQUID COOLING TRAINING FOR HVAC TECHS, READY IN < 2 WEEKS

HVAC Technicians: Become Liquid-Cooling ready in < 2 weeks

Start with a free skills baseline. We identify gaps for each tech, build a weekly plan, and track readiness, without pulling crews off active jobs.

01What CoreNav delivers
Industry expert–curated training
Practical, job-relevant curriculum built around real-world liquid cooling service work, not generic coursework.
Personalized paths for every tech
Know exactly who’s ready, who’s stuck, and what to do next with skill-level visibility by tech and by topic.
360° readiness checklist
Structured path to the expectations that matter for onboarding: safety, fundamentals, procedures, documentation, repeatability.
02The problem: data center work requires hard proof.

Data center operators and OEMs expect documented capability.

Liquid cooling is becoming a common requirement for high-value work, and vendors need to show readiness before service contracts can be won.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone:

>You want to enter (or expand) in the data center service market.
>You need to upskill your technicians quickly without slowing operations.
>You’re not sure what “ready” actually means for liquid cooling.
What operators look for before awarding liquid cooling work
Skills + Capabilities
Liquid cooling fundamentals, SLA response capabilities, OEM-aligned procedures
Procedures + Systems
MOPs/SOPs, alarm response, emergency escalation, documentation
Training + Safety
Safety readiness, scenario practice, incident response discipline
Operators need proof, not promises: certification, references, sample maintenance reports, and repeatable procedures.
We take a 360° approach to liquid cooling readiness, starting with a baseline and weekly plan.
03Why liquid cooling, why now

Liquid cooling is the next gate to high-value service work.

The shift is already underway, and most facilities still aren’t fully equipped, creating demand for service teams who can install and maintain these systems.

Liquid cooling can carry higher install cost and higher consequence (leaks and chemistry/materials compatibility matter), so buyers look for trained specialists.

04What’s included

Everything you need to prove readiness

Start with a free skills baseline. Then move into an under-2-week program that produces validated techs and readiness documentation.

Free baseline: individual and team readiness snapshot, gap analysis, and recommended plan.
Under-2-week training: expert-designed curriculum, personalized paths, short lessons that fit the workday.
Readiness documentation: completion records, checklist aligned to onboarding expectations, proof for customers/OEMs.
Designed around busy crews.
Short, mobile-friendly lessons; realistic scenarios; and manager visibility without pulling crews off active jobs.
Free skills baseline
Week 0

Per-tech baseline score, topic breakdown, and suggested plan. Keep it even if you don’t move forward.

Under-2-week training program
Week 1

Liquid cooling expertise, clarity on readiness, documentation you can show customers, and a repeatable path you can reuse for new hires.

  • A clear baseline of your team’s liquid cooling capability
  • Upskilled technicians with validated understanding of key concepts
  • A repeatable training path you can reuse for new hires
  • Readiness documentation to support onboarding and customer confidence
  • A practical answer to: “Who can staff liquid cooling work next month?”
07How it works

Baseline → Deployable in under 2 weeks

Week-by-week path from baseline to validated readiness without pulling crews off active jobs.

Week 0
1. Assess

Free, mobile-friendly skills baseline that establishes a clear starting point.

  • Per-tech baseline score and topic breakdown
  • Team-level view of strengths and gaps
  • Recommended training plan based on results
Week 1
2. Personalize + Train

Weekly training built around realistic scenarios and field-relevant tasks.

  • Short lessons techs can complete around the workday
  • Guided practice and reinforcement on core concepts
  • Manager visibility into participation and progress
Weekly manager check-ins
Week 2
3. Validate + Prove readiness

Turn training into confidence and documentation you can show customers.

  • Practice tests and remediation where needed
  • Readiness dashboard and completion records
  • Clear “who’s ready for what” view for staffing
You’ll know who’s ready, who’s stuck, and what to do next without guessing or pausing operations.
08Right for you
Who this is for
This program is designed for:
  • Service contractors in large metro areas
  • Teams with 10–50 technicians (HVAC and/or electrical skill sets)
  • Companies looking for new growth areas, especially data center service contracts
Great fit if you:
  • Want a repeatable path to liquid cooling readiness (not one-off training)
  • Need proof of capability for customers, OEMs, or onboarding gates
  • Prefer building internal capacity instead of relying on hiring alone
Not a fit if...
  • You only want generic CE credits with no readiness validation.
  • You need fully outsourced staffing immediately (this is a capability-building program).
