While training in the HVACR industry begins to really take hold at the secondary/post-secondary level, continuing education spans a career.

Trane is one manufacturer that offers continuing education courses for contractors, techs, and other HVAC personnel. Chris Walmsley, manager, technical service training, said the company offers factory training for commercial systems’ service, maintenance, and operation; codes and standards system design and control classes; and HVAC design and analysis software training. “These courses are designed to increase technician competence and confidence when servicing HVAC systems and controls,” he said.
