    Hey guys

    Hey guys,

    Im new here and will start with a bit about me.
    Im 19 years old from Ontario, Canada.
    I am currently positioned as a labour for a small HVAC company.
    Im working part time with another job(fast food) and part time with the HVAC company.
    I am told I am going to be signed up soon for an apprenticeship.
    I have been a labourer for about 5 months and I love working in HVAC.
    I have learnt alot over the 5 months and I am exteremly excited to become an apprentice.
    Am i able to become a pro member with my status involving HVAC?

    Since your working in the trade. I believe you qualify(I'm not part of the membership committee though).

    Get your post count up to 15 and apply.

    The membership committee will decide then.

    This site is a good place for a rookie to learn, there are a lot of truly wise and learned folks here that will help a new person in the industry learn what they need to become a true PRO. Read the technical forums as much as you can.
