Here are four reasons to consider 

ASHRAE eLearning. 

Effectiveness: Designed by ASHRAE professionals, these interactive 

eLearning courses provide training you can trust on a wide range of selected 

building technology topics. 

Convenience: Because they’re web-based, you can take ASHRAE 

eLearning training anywhere, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each subscription 

is for 12 months. Access is immediate. Start and stop at your convenience. 

Transcripts are maintained automatically, and group administration functions 

are easy to set up. 

Economy: With access available from any Internet connection, eLearning 

eliminates training travel time and related expenses. Group discounts help 

organizations save even more (see page 7 for details). 

Flexibility: Choose from over 100 courses and modules offering from 

0.5 to over 45 PDHs/CEUs each. You can also subscribe to a library of courses, 

or even all ASHRAE eLearning courses, with over 200 PDHs in all.*

ASHRAE eLibraries, Courses and Modules 

An eLibrary is a collection of courses providing a wide breadth of information. 

The subscriber can choose any or all courses in that collection for training. 

On a per-course basis, eLibraries are less expensive than courses. 

Courses address important single topics within a professional area, resulting in 

focused, relevant training. Each course consists of a series of modules. Subscribers 

can follow the recommended module sequence for course completion or develop 

one of their own. Subscription prices vary by course. 

Modules provide highly focused information on specialized topics. These 

informational building blocks enable subscribers to complete training one step at a 

time. Subscribers use modules when they want very specific knowledge or need a small 

number of PDHs to satisfy their professional licensing requirements.* 

Module subscriptions are $95 each ($75 for ASHRAE Members).

3. 

4. 

5. 

It’s global. ASHRAE eLearning is currently used in over 40 countries. A reliable Internet connection 

and computer are the only requirements for connecting professionals around the world to 

their material, peers, and instructors. 

Better suits the diverse learning styles of individual learners. ASHRAE eLearning courses 

provide a single experience accommodating the three distinct learning styles of auditory 

learners, visual learners, and kinesthetic learners. 

Makes the learning interactive and more effective. ASHRAE eLearning courses spark the learner’s 

active involvement, participation, and engagement in the learning process, which increases 

motivation and interest. 

Unlocks the power of self-pacing. Advanced learners can speed through redundant instruction, 

while novices set their own pace, eliminating frustration with themselves, their fellow learners, 

and the course. 

Increases retention and speeds learning times. Well-designed online courses like ASHRAE’s 

frequently increase retention by 25% (J.D. Fletcher, Multimedia Review, 1991) and speed 

learning times by 40% (Brandon Hall, Web-based Training Cookbook, 1997).

In-University Programs 

ASHRAE eLearning courses are used in undergraduate and graduate-level mechanical and 

architectural engineering programs. 

Peer-to-Peer Collaboration 

The optional discussion forums which are part of our learning environment allow colleagues 

to communicate, share ideas, and solve problems. Many customers use the discussion 

forums for “Ask an Expert” programs. There simply is not a more convenient way to get the 

PDHs/CEUs you need.*

“A great resource. 

The short time spent 

taking the course at 

my own convenience 

is equal in value to 

months of working 

experience” 

—Brian Randleman, Design 

Specialist, Climatec BTG 

“Without this distance learning, it would have been very 

hard for me to get access to this high-quality material from 

Mauritius. Whenever I needed help or had a question, the 

ASHRAE eLearning team was always ready with a speedy 

reply and sense of professionalism.” 

—Vivekanand Ramsurrun, Mechanical Engineer, Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Mauritius 

“I find the ASHRAE eLearning courses most interesting, 

informative, and easy to understand.” 

— Patrick Hing, Senior Design Engineer, P. Eng., C. Eng., LEED AP, FCIBSE, 

FHKIE, FMecHE (UK) 

“ASHRAE eLearning is a well put-together program. 

What makes the program unique is the immediate feedback 

system, which allows you to go back through the 

exercises and exams to help ensure your understanding 

of the topics covered. Most programs out there only 

provide you with a passing percentage once the course is 

over, not explaining what concepts you really understood.” 

— Huan Nguyen, Design Application Engineer, Climatec BTG
