Are you schooling at home via internet or at a tech school? How long is the entire program? Are you a member of the HVAC -Talk forum? Lots of great info there. Nothing like hands on experience. Are you in the field now?
Not in the field now. Going to New England Institute of Technology now. Started in August and took my math and English required for the Assoc. degree. Taking "Basic Refrigeration" and "Basic Electricity" now. I'll do residential A/C next then heating in the 3rd semester. Total course is about 18 months.
Scheduled to graduate in March of 2013.
The school is "hand on" enough that I am able to skip over my apprenticeship and take my journeyman pipe fitter test right out of school so I should be able to get a decent job right away. My lab instructor has his own business and has said that he sometimes hire students so I have at least one lead there.
And my mother's husband is a supervisor with National Refrigeration so I have a good shot at that too.
