💵 Train for an in-demand, sustainable career in HVAC

HVAC Technicians Are in Demand. Franklin Cummings Tech’s 800-hour certificate program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and hands-on skills to become successful HVAC&R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) technicians.

We offer both a day and an evening program so you can choose the certificate option that works best for your schedule. This program offers start dates in September and January. The fall programs run from September to May (9 months total) and the spring program runs January to August (8 months).

Today’s HVAC&R technician needs to be EPA certified. Our HVAC&R program provides test preparation for the EPA certification. In addition, we also offer an R-410 A certificate and 10-hour OSHA Safety certificate, upon successful completion. Our HVAC&R Technology certificate meets state requirements for 2,000 hours toward the 6,000 field hours required to sit for the Refrigeration Technician exam.
