New 30 day Hvac School

[Jbatchelor]

I am personally a believer in higher education . I have attended community college for hvac training . We learned just the basics of the trade . Everything else had to be learned in the field. Today i saw a new hvac school in our town that claims they can teach you to be a A/C tech in just 28 days. and earn 6 certifacations . I cant believe anyone could learn enough to be a true Tech in 28 days . What do you think

Well if the classes are 24/7 then that would equal 84 8 hour days. The students would probably be pretty tired in a day or so.

You know it has to be a joke. Everything thats gone "Fast Food" leaves a taste in your mouth just like McDonalds. Pretty crappy.

I guess thats why they say dont worry about food and lodging!!! you will not have time.

$9995.00 for a imonth course so you can get a good paying job in the A/C feild as a sevice tech.

Holy Crap ! I'm opening one of them schools !! I don't remember the exact cost when I went in the late 80's but I don't think it was that much and it seemed like I lived at that place forever.

I bet they can teach you to get 6 certifications as most of em are a joke, like the EPA test and such.
You will have a piece of paper but won't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

Wow!

When I went it was just under $10K for 1200 hours of training and a tool kit worth about $300.00............

Now it's $10K a month.

Times sure have changed.

Is'nt the GI Bill around $10,000? Sounds like maybe a scam set up to bilk kids coming out of the service??

The GI Bill is higher, it starts out at 20k, and goes up from there.

I see alotta military guys coming out, going to school, then getting a job in hvac and being miserable.

Guess I'm getting old.

with a good credit score rates start at $150 a month for ten years. If your credit is worse $250 a month. This set up on a SalleyMae student loan.
