Program Overview: Essential Systems Technician Training

High school seniors and adult learners receive hands-on lessons in HVAC, electrical systems, safety and basic facility operations. All training is taught by working professionals at Advanced Comfort Solutions, giving students real-world experience with the tools and equipment used on the job. The program prepares students for entry-level roles in commercial and industrial maintenance, direct employment with local trades companies, and entry into apprenticeships or advanced training in the construction trades.

For high school seniors, the training is offered in partnership with LCSD1 during the school day as a semester-long course.

For adults who are not in high school, the training is consolidated into 5 days/week for 9 weeks.
