Beirut, November 16 2011 -The LG AC Academy organized a two days technical training course at the Lebanese Engineers Syndicate in Beirut for a number of Lebanese engineers to reinforce their technical skills and enrich their academic scientific expertise in the fields of maintenance and assembly of central air conditioning systems, Multi V III.  

LG collaborated with the Lebanese Engineers Syndicate to be the first company to conduct training at the syndicate premises allowing the engineers to benefit from technical curriculums specialized in the design and assembly of the VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system technology.

"This course comes as part of LG's strategy, which aims at elevating standards of engineers' talents and skills across the Middle East", said Hussam Abbini, LG AC Academy Director. "The training offered the latest technical developments and the best advanced skills of the AC world through the most contemporary methods", he added.

Upon course completion, the engineers praised this initiative and expressed that they had greatly benefited in sharpening their academic-engineering and scientific skills, as well as gained knowledge on new, high standard technical issues such as the VRF system among others.  

It is worth noting that the LG AC academy has achieved great success within a short time period, since its establishment in April 2011; it has coached more than 650 trainees from different sectors including students, engineers, and technicians, as well as contractors, consultants, and developers from Jordan and the Middle East. The academy further encompasses a showroom featuring LG's latest AC, lighting, and solar energy products, plus a lecturing hall and a training room prepared with the latest LG AC equipment, MultiV, and networking systems to provide practical technical training for trainees.
