Testo and RMIT teaming up to better education

What do Testo and RMIT University's School of Vocational Engineering have in common? A thirst for going above and beyond. Society has never remained complacent with what it has. We're constantly innovating and creating technology that transcends boundaries, trying to better our community. As such, Testo is constantly creating the tools that meet the needs of these demanding times, and RMIT University is training the young minds to do it. Let's take a look at this crucial partnership. 

RMIT's educational mission

RMIT's promise as an educational institution is to prepare its students for the real world. These kids receive hands-on industry experience to develop skills that they can work with all over the world through research and engagement. The university's strategic plan lays out values, goals, direction and priorities for the industry as a whole, and for the students so they can succeed outside of the classroom. Vocational courses like refrigeration and air conditioning remain at the top of the school's agenda to ensure that students keep pushing the boundaries of innovation. At the end of the day, this institution is shaping the world. 

But they can't do it alone. This is where Testo comes in. 

Testo's place in RMIT

Some universities have practice tools and will boast, "This is similar to what it will look like in the real world." But why would you learn from a simulation, when you could practice on the instruments that are used by the very professionals that these students are trying to become? That's what Testo asked themselves. And to them, the solution was obvious – students should be focused on learning only the best of the best. As such, the company donated a brand new electrical kit for teachers to share with their students.

RMIT's Senior Educator – Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Trevor Jenkinson, who has been working at the university for over a decade, says that in his time teaching, he has never seen a tool as useful to his student's development as Testo's range of instruments. These tools help the students work smarter, not harder, as they can gather information faster than ever before, and that is a game changer both inside and outside the institution – class dismissed!
