The Program

How We Train

The program runs in three hands-on blocks. Every one puts you on real equipment, doing the actual work, with as little time sitting in a classroom as we can manage.

01

Introduction to HVAC

You're on real systems from day one, taking equipment apart, wiring it up, and reading it with your own gauges. You learn how HVAC works by doing it, not by watching slides.

02

Professional Installations

Set condensers and air handlers, run line sets, braze joints, and build ductwork on real equipment, to the standard employers expect. Almost none of it happens sitting down.

03

Foundations of Service Work

Troubleshoot electrical faults, test components, and service live systems the way a working tech does every day, building the hands-on judgment that gets you hired.

The 11-Week Build

Eleven Weeks, One Working Tech

Four phases, each stacking on the last. You start with how a system works and safety, and you finish able to install, diagnose, and service real HVAC equipment alongside a customer - with an Employer Recruiting Day to close it out.
