CaptiveAire Expands HVAC Certification Program to Schools in NC, TN, and VA

CaptiveAire Systems is introducing a new 'HVAC by CaptiveAire' technician certification course designed for high school seniors. This program is offered through the Luddy Institute of Technology (LIT) within Thales Academy, which serves students in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The curriculum is a partnership between CaptiveAire and Thales Academy, and it is available as a daily elective class during the students' twelfth grade. Successful completion provides credentials including the CaptiveAire Paragon HVAC Factory Certified Technician status and EPA 608 certification.

The program offers students an immediate pathway into a skilled trade career upon graduation. The credentials gained are comparable to an associate's degree from a community college, focusing on in-demand vocational skills. This expansion leverages the educational infrastructure of the three states to promote workforce readiness in the HVAC sector.
