HVAC Training for Wichita, Kansas Students
Mountain West Trade School’s HVAC Technician Training program covers everything people mean by “HVAC school,” “HVAC trade school,” and “HVAC classes.” It's hands-on, online, and built to get you into a new trade without years in a classroom.
What You'll Learn
One HVAC program, every way people search for it
Whether you call it HVAC school, HVAC trade school, or HVAC technician training, the coursework is the same: what employers actually hire for. Across 14 structured modules and 100 clock hours, you'll build the electrical, refrigeration, and code knowledge employers expect, then put those skills to work in VR lab scenarios troubleshooting real furnace faults.
Refrigeration principles
How heat transfer, pressure, and refrigerant cycles actually work.
Electrical systems
Reading wiring diagrams and working safely around live circuits.
Diagnostics & troubleshooting
Finding the real problem instead of swapping parts and guessing.
Safety & code compliance
OSHA jobsite standards and the codes Kansas inspectors check for.
System install basics
Setting up residential units correctly the first time.
Customer service on the job
Talking to homeowners like a professional, not just a technician.
How long it takes
The program is 100 clock hours across 14 modules. Most students finish in 5 to 10 weeks depending on pace (roughly 10 to 20 hours a week). Coursework is self-paced, so you can move faster or slower depending on your schedule, and many students complete it while working full-time.
How you'll train
Training is 100% online, with hands-on skills practiced in a VR simulation lab that puts real HVAC equipment in front of you. No commute to a shop, and no waiting for shared equipment to free up.
Certifications You'll Earn
Credentials employers actually ask for
EPA 608 Universal
Federally required to purchase and handle refrigerants. Without it, you legally can't touch most systems.
NATE Ready to Work
The entry-level credential Kansas HVAC employers recognize on a resume from day one.
OSHA 10
Jobsite safety certification required or preferred on most Kansas commercial sites.
Tuition, Cost & Funding
What HVAC training costs, and how to cover it
Cost shouldn't be the reason you don't start. Tuition is billed as a single program fee, and Mountain West Trade School works with students on flexible ways to pay for it:
- Monthly payment plans through our Fortify financing partnership
- Klarna and Afterpay for splitting tuition into smaller payments
- Veterans' education benefits accepted
You may qualify for WIOA funding
Mountain West Trade School is an approved Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) training provider. Eligible Kansas residents (unemployed, underemployed, or looking to change careers) may be able to get some or all of this program covered through their local Kansas Works center.
