agree  Ildiko Santana: Here they are called "HVAC *technicians*" ("repairman" is not used, probably because when they do maintenance, it's not considered repair). My brother-in-law just finished his training and received his certificate that qualifies him as "HVAC Technician"

neutral  Katalin Horváth McClure: Well, HVAC technician is the name of the profession. The question here is about a subject, or an examination area that is in the certificate.

Explanation:
While Csaba is definitely right about the translation of the part "klima és légtechnikai", obviously the last word in your term "szerelés" is not "repairman" in Hungarian (but you already knew that :)), as Katalin pointed out.
On this particular certificate, the name of the qualification is "HŰTŐ ÉS KLÍMABERENDEZÉS SZERELŐ, KARBANTARTÓ" - that is, Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Technician. In order to successfully pass the exam and obtain such qualification, students are required to complete certain tasks, "KLÍMA ÉS LÉGTECHNIKAI SZERELÉSI FELADATOK" - that is, "Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Service Tasks."
Such service work may include installation (beszerelés), servicing & repair (szerelés & javítás) and maintenance (karbantartás).
