BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Bowling Green Technical College has been granted accreditation of its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) program by HVAC Excellence. Programmatic accreditation is where an independent third party, HVAC Excellence, reviews a program against set educational and industry standards in curriculum, faculty, student facilities, placement services, financial aid, advisory committee involvement, training facilities, and equipment and safety.

In seeking accreditation, the staff at Bowling Green Technical College had to complete and submit a self-study evaluation of their program that demonstrates how they meet each required standard. The self-study, once completed, was sent to HVAC Excellence for its executive team to thoroughly assess for compliance against each standard.

Now that the program has been granted accreditation it can assure employers of the quality of the program, assist students in selecting a program, assist students with transfer credits, and help the students with advanced placement in the United Association apprenticeship program.
