    What are the Training and Education required for HVAC technicians?

    HVAC technicians are required to undergo and complete a minimum of six months up to two years of training. Training programs must be taken from technical schools accredited by organizations like HVAC Excellence or (PAHRA) the Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating Refrigeration Accreditation.
    HVAC technicians must also simultaneously undergo and complete apprenticeship programs with their training. These apprenticeship programs may last up to four years. HVAC technicians can enjoy sponsored apprenticeship programs with classroom and field training from local unions and organizations like the (PHCC) Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors or the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.

    And I told you to look into what your local collage offers in the way of HVAC Certification & Training. When I went to go get my A+ Certification I had to do it through a collage(I was in Iowa for that one).
