Skillpoint Alliance HVAC Technician Course

What is Skillpoint Alliance?

Skillpoint Alliance serves individuals residing in the Permian Basin and is dedicated to helping people escape poverty by providing hands-on training courses in the skilled trades and advance manufacturing industry, free of charge to participants.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Permian Strategic Partnership, Skillpoint Alliance Permian Basin will offer a free, five-week registered ACT Technician course that provides hands-on training and certifications. In addition to paying for students' tuition through grants, Skillpoint staff will provide additional support services such as transportation assistance, tutoring and job search assistance.

Skillpoint’s mentorship program connects students with local employers through class presentations and field trips. Many mentor employers hire students as full-time employees upon graduation.

 

Course Details

Skillpoint’s five-week program provides both basic construction training and Level One HVAC Tech training. After completing Construction Fundamentals (such as construction math, tool safety, and job site safety), the course then moves into curriculum specific to the HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) trade and covers building codes, pipe fittings, diagnosing malfunctions, and air duct systems. It includes hands-on experience and instruction about aspects of HVAC systems for commercial, industrial and residential buildings.

Throughout the program, participants  have the opportunity to earn multiple industry-recognized credentials. Students may complete the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 608 Universal certification exam and earn OSHA‑10 certification as part of their coursework. Participants may also work toward NATE Ready to Work certification, register as an Apprentice with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and apply for their HVAC Registered ACR Technician license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), helping prepare them for entry into the HVAC workforce.
