Where I Trained

Northwest Arkansas Community College

What I earned

Certificates in Trane Variable Speed, Trane Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), HVAC and Advanced Service Diagnostics

I have been able to purchase a house sooner than my peers just because they went to college and acquired tons of student loan debt. I have been able to move forward with my career and get into the position that I am in faster than most.

There are opportunities to work in either residential settings or commercial settings. Management opportunities are also available.
