With most public schools displacing skill-oriented courses like woodshop and autoshop, fewer and fewer students have the opportunity to gain technical skills in welding, mechanics, construction, and other hands-on fields. Lacking this early experience can put students at a disadvantage if they are interested in pursuing a career in a technical trade. Technical programs are focused on career-oriented training sothat students receive a focused, industry-relevant education in their chosen field. This helps minimizethe time that students remain in the training program while helping them quickly learn the skills that employers are looking for in strong job candidates.
Some of the most important qualities to have in an HVAC technician program are a high level of hands- on training, proper accreditation, and support from a local licensure board. These qualities ensure that a student is getting the practical training and experience he/she needs to later work in the field, and the program is being held accountable by respected 3rd party sources to maintain high standards of education and student support. These components are the cornerstone of a solid technical education, and students should be wary of any programs that lack them.
