HVAC Apprenticeship

If you're interested in becoming an HVAC professional or are currently employed by a licensed HVAC company, train to become a licensed journeyperson through Harford's partnership with the Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors of Maryland.

Well-trained, reliable technicians are in constant demand in the industry. Successfully complete this program and you'll be able to apply for and be granted a HVAC journeyperson license from the Maryland Department of Labor without taking the exam. This program is a four-year curriculum that gives credit for on-the-job and classroom training. Applications must be submitted by August for a September start date.

 

 

Courses

This is a hands-on training program. As part of the course curriculum students are trained to specialize in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning/refrigeration systems. Work may include installing, servicing and repairing heating and air conditioning systems in residences and commercial establishments. Apprenticeships usually begin by assisting experienced technicians with such tasks as carrying materials, insulating refrigerant lines, or cleaning furnaces. In time, apprentices will move on to more difficult tasks such as cutting and soldering pipes and checking electrical and electronic circuits.
