Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Repair Training at a Glance

 Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) training can take on different forms. It can be achieved through apprentice programs, community colleges or technical schools all of which are valuable options for different students. Program type notwithstanding, HVAC repair training focuses on teaching students how to efficiently maintain and install ventilation, cooling, and heating systems.

Technicians, on top of gaining an understanding of the mechanics involved, also learn the physical requirements, troubleshooting, and design. Job opportunities for HVAC graduates include careers as owners of HVAC companies, manufacturers, designers, and HVAC technicians.
