I went to the "here go try to fix this" school of hard knocks. If I electrocuted myself or smoked a part I knew I did something wrong.

I went through an automotive apprenticeship. while It didn't do much for the refrigeration side of things, the electronics and mechanical aspects more than made up for it

I studied HVAC at SCC Milford, a local community college. Then I went to Knocksville University and the real learning started. Still haven't graduated from that one, probably never will, does anyone!

I think that BOTH is best, but study,study,study, and when the "hands on"comes along, it will be so much more easier and then so much more rewarding.
And as pecmsg said; its all Continuing Education!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd generation hvac. So I knew more than the high school vo-tech teacher "Mr. Collins" could teach everyone else in 6th grade. He still calls me to take calls when he is out of town. I took welding in tech school because he told my dad his class would not help me and 17yrs. later can barely MIG. I wish I would have done anything else tech school offered like computers or something because I use one daily and still 2 finger type.

Robert Morgan Educational Center in magic city . A crazy Cuban teacher taught us. I would annoy him from info I would read on Hvac talk. But he knew his stuff and he taught us well.
