/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1410360
I went to a state University for my schooling. It had been considered a community college a few years earlier. I'd suggest just checking out local schools websites, they will have info on their HVAC program if they have one. I don't know if I'd go to a trade school unless you hear good things about it. Definitely talk to the program teachers and ask them about their job placement rate.

I got super lucky, the school I went to had the best program within a 5 state area.... At least that's what they claimed. They had something like 40 different furnaces in the lab and approx 15 to 20 split AC systems plus 4 packaged roof units to work on. Cost about 12 grand total, including the 2000 for tools. Was very much worth it. There was also a state program that threw down half my tuition because they were looking to train up tradesmen to cover the upcoming gaps that will be caused a shortage of techs and the old timers retiring.

Good luck, Anon. It's a good field to get into. Schooling will make it seen difficult but once your in the field you will find it to be much easier than expected.
