Our courses are led by industry experts who are passionate about their field. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each lesson. HVAC technicians install, maintain, and troubleshoot HVAC systems, and the work is mostly hands-on and constantly changing. This keeps the job interesting and allows you to learn more with each new project. Some projects involve installing systems for new construction, others involve modifying existing systems for renovations, and some require the technician to troubleshoot a malfunctioning system.
Careers in HVAC are a great option for people who enjoy working with their hands, troubleshooting problems, and being regularly active throughout the workday. The job outlook for HVAC technicians is very positive, with projections that careers will grow by 5% from 2024 to 2030.
