FAQs

 

Are classes online or in person?

Both. We have a hybrid approach. Our curriculums are online to help establish the students' knowledge base. Simulations and knowledge checks are in the meatspace with a VR headset.

Hands on labs and instructions are in person at any one of our labs. Different courses have labs on different days. Open lab means a student can just come in at any time. Otherwise a student can make an appointment whenever they desire for lab.

Booking a lab session allows us to clean and maintain the space properly post covid 19 and in anticipation for other outbreaks.

​

Is there a way to do a course completely online?

Yes. We are currently working on a way for the courses to be completed through mail correspondence and the labs virtually with access to an instructor.

You can sign up to learn more information and when the program goes active we can inform you. Until then the option that we have is the hybrid one with the labs in person at one of our locations.

​

Are courses accredited?

Yes. We are accredited through IACET. We have a relationship with NCCER. Our courses count for credits with NATE and have transferring CEU’s. 

Each certificate will tell you how much the course weighs. 

​

How long do the courses take to complete?

The average student completes their course blocks within 10 -12 weeks. 

Most students have families and part/full time jobs while attending.

It depends on your work ethic and dedication to the program. Most students finish before the average timeframe.

 

Do I have to come in for scheduled classes?

No. It’s based on your schedule. You can log in whenever you want to stay on top of your course. We have schedules for labs but not for classes. 

This is our differentiator. We trust the student to handle their class materials and we focus on the labs and the hands on portion to make sure the student has the logic of the trade down packed, and they can trouble shoot effectively.

 

Are their refunds?

No. We have a case by case understanding where we can consider refunds but in general the answer is no according to our refund policy. We try to take extra precaution before allowing the students to enroll and sign up. We never let the student sign up in the same day.

If there is an error or some negligence on our part as a company then we are the first to take ownership and take care our the return of finances but in general its the students decision to do homework and make sure this is the direction they want to go in. 

Please take the time to do due diligence and confirm all that we are sharing information and resource wise. Once the student has enrolled into the class there are no refunds given off general pretenses.

​

What do students receive when they graduate?

Students receive their certification of course completion. They receive a card from Osha for the safety handling. If enrolled in the HVACR course, they receive their epa 608 card. In the students online portal is a list of every certification and the CEU weights they carry.

​

Is there an opportunity to earn while learning?

Yes. In our pre apprenticeship program you will learn the trade. In the actual apprenticeship program where you will be given a job through one of our networked companies. We work directly with out contact to make sure your hours are counted toward your journeyman. 

We do own an hvac and electric company. We do own a renovation company. We can work with the students to help get them on board and chasing down their hours toward their journeyman license and more.

​

Is there financial aid available?

Yes. In several ways. We work with several organizations who will fund you depending on your financial circumstance.

We also have a scholarship fund that all students can apply for. City of Zion is our non profit organization that regularly gives out rewards to our students. Open admission for application to the scholarship is available.

We are seeking our financial school code with our recent approval from the Department of Labor. By end of 2023 we expect to have a school code that students can use with fafsa applications.
