In case you aren't already aware – we no longer live in the Stone Age. Instead of fire, we have electricity to power our daily lives. Without it, we are undeniably left in the dark – halting business across all industries.

Indeed, we're fortunate to not only live during a time of nonstop technological advances, but also contribute to the technology that makes everyday life just a little easier for everyone. However, with great power comes great responsibility. 

As such, we need to proactively stay on top of these advancements to ensure they're running efficiently and effectively, and even to make them superior to their predecessors. How is this done? Enter Testo and Box Hill Institute. 

Testo's contribution to Box Hill Institute

It is crucial to keep shaping minds and encouraging creative, developmental thinking. The Box Hill Institute in Victoria does just this. This institution trains the next generation of industry professionals with their rigorous TAFE courses using real-life instruments to get the job done.

Head of School, Industry and Trades Tony Watson and Technical Manager, Department of Air conditioning and Refrigeration Len Raines are leaders of Box Hill who take particular care to ensure their students are getting nothing but the best in terms of real-world training and education. How do they create a realistic environment, you ask? By using Testo's electrical demo kit of course!

State-of-the-art facilities deserve state-of-the-art equipment

In a constant effort to better the next generation of industry professionals, Testo has dutifully donated an electrical demo kit to the school, which has been putting in some serious work to ensure their facilities are state-of-the-art. Courses using these kits cover a range of subjects – everything from minute electrical details to standard refrigeration and air conditioning courses are offered.

The tools that Testo has supplied these classrooms makes this education invaluable. Len has also said his students enjoy working with the digital instruments and easy-to-use technology. Plus, with this being the leading equipment in the industry, these students are leaving the classroom ready to make it in the work place. 

At the end of the day, schools like Box Hill Institute are bettering lives through bettering technology – a feat which is only accomplished when students have access to the right tools and training.
