    This course provided clear and practical knowledge about reading HVAC, PLUMBING, and other mechanical systems schematics. The explanations were easy to follow, and the quizzes reinforced key concepts well. I now feel more confident in interpreting P&ID,PFD, and other technical diagrams. I would definitely recommend this course to others looking to improve their understanding of mechanical schematics.
