Shane's HVAC training program exceeded my expectations. The 10-week course was well-structured, and Shane's teaching style made complex concepts easy to grasp. He was knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor, which made the learning experience enjoyable. The hands-on training was invaluable, allowing me to gain practical experience and build confidence in my skills.

Concise, simple, and you know the ins and outs using Chris Walter’s method. Knowing what every part does and seeing the inner parts cut open give you a deeper understanding it’s use case, lifespan, and troubleshooting than just knowing it’s purpose. Great course and went by quicker than I thought. Shane’s an approachable and friendly instructor who you can always learn from his lectures and stories. H went through the ins and outs of everything and every question, and whatever you’re a little iffy on you can spend the remaining free days working on whatever you want and ask questions. No man left behind.

This is an awesome program! I took their course and am about to graduate. I came in knowing nothing about A/C or the HVAC I industry. Now I feel confident and comfortable enough to service almost any system. This place was a God send! Chris and Shane are awesome instructors and are open books when it comes to information. If you're looking to get into the HVAC industry, be sure to check this school out!

I had zero experience or had some experience from the beginning; either way, I came to learn about the trade, and I enjoyed the knowledge that Shane & Chris taught us. I recommend this school for those who really wants to learn about HVAC, and opening a new chapter in their life. There’s secrets that you’re not going to be taught elsewhere, so apply and learn it all! P.S I’m very humble cause Chris is envy of my certificate thru that picture! #2022

Great experience all around attending this school. Thought I had a good handle on HVAC until I took this class and man I realized I didn’t know much. In my experience, Shane was the primary teacher. He did a great job making me and others feel included even when most of us didn’t know each other prior. The class has MANY opportunities for hands on work and if you take those opportunities and pay attention, you will find success. I drove nearly 1000 miles to attend this 10 week class. Found a job as a service tech. apprentice thanks to their resources in job searching. If you’re serious about the HVAC field this is a great option for education.

Without a doubt I’m impressed with what I have learned in a short period of time both theory and hands on. Wish I would of made this choice 10 yrs ago. So fellas remember you always need heating and cooling/refrigeration! Pedro Sanchez

I attended The Training Center from January to March of 2022. Within a week of graduating, I landed a job as an HVAC Technician. My current employer hired me on the spot, based upon their knowledge of the expertise taught at the Training Center. Chris Walters has put together a realistic curriculum. You will learn what you need to know to be successful without all the fluff! The hands-on approach in the classroom is top notch and Shane instructs the class, covering every possible contingency encountered in the field. In fact, in many cases, I know more about certain topics than techs with 5 years experience or more! Every week, a different subject is taught in a lab setting, where you will build, test and learn how each part of an HVAC system works, as well as how to troubleshoot, diagnose and fix the system. Kathy, in the office, will make you feel like one of the family and will make sure you have all the information you need to get started. I will be starting my own HVAC business when I get my license, and will be sending my wife through the program before we launch! KUDOS to the team at The Training Center! You have changed our lives and we are so grateful! Thanks for the memories! You guys are the BEST!! Bob Drazba

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long is The Course?

This course is 120 clock hours long. This is accomplished from 8:00 am to 11:00 am, or 5:30 -8:30 pm,  Monday through Thursday, with no classes on Fridays. It will take 10 weeks to complete the 16 subjects. There are 3 – 4 sessions offered per year; Spring class beginning in January/February, Summer class beginning in April/May, and Fall class beginning in September/October.

What is The Main Teaching Method?

Hands on, Hands on, Hands on is the short but important answer. Mr. Walters has seen many technicians over his 40 year career that did not get enough hands on training or teaching. Many of these students came with certificates and made excellent grades. These same Technicians had never touched some of the most basic components and instead spent most of the time in classrooms. Our facility is one big shop setting. You sit at workbenches and use tools every day. There will be lecture and class instructions, but almost all of it is followed by practical examples.

What are The Class Sizes?

The facility and the course was designed to teach a small teacher to student ratio. Class sizes will not exceed 20 students.

What Can I Expect To Learn?

The air conditioning and heating technician training program is a comprehensive course designed to teach students the skills and techniques required for entry level employment into the residential and light commercial, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) field. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to install, service, and maintain typical air conditioning and heating systems found in the southern environment of the United States. Graduates may find suitable entry level employment with air conditioning companies, building maintenance departments, high rise building engineering departments, or other employment where HVAC skills are required. Graduates will learn with class lecture, discussion, and with hands-on experience in lab environments. They will also be exposed to a variety of actual equipment and mock up situations designed to prepare them for fieldwork.
