In your area, contact someone like Stellar and apply for an entry level technicians job. Also check with Mycom and FES. If you are going after the industrial market, check the RETA and IIAR ammonia certification courses.

Also see if any local unions in your area have an apprentice program for refrigeration. Some areas the pipe fitter and in others, the machinist cover refrigeration.

Since you have a basic understanding of the basic cycle for a/c work, you should be able to expand it into refrigeration.

Good luck
