High School Pathway HVAC-HS
HEATING, VENTILATION & AIR CONDITION
HEATING, VENTILATION, & AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) CERTIFICATE
HIGH SCHOOL PATHWAY
TVCC’s HVAC program is available at participating high schools under the instruction of a TVCC qualified HVAC instructor.
Although TVCC does not have special selection criteria for the HVAC program, high school students are encouraged to contact the school counselor to determine if there are any high school selection criteria for entry in this program.
Students who successfully complete the 3 year sequence will earn a BASIC HVAC certificate from TVCC after their 10th grade year and an ADV HVAC certificate from TVCC after their 12th grade year. They will be prepared and eligible to become licensed NCCER level one HVAC after completing the BASIC HVAC certificate.
NOTE: Criminal history MAY disqualify individuals from obtaining or maintaining ANY Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning certifications.
Texas law:
- restricts the issuance of occupational licenses based on a license applicant’s criminal history; and
- authorizes the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), in some cases, to consider a person convicted, even though the person was only on probation or community supervision without a conviction.
Individuals who have been convicted of an offense or placed on probation might not be eligible for an occupational license issued by TDLR even after completing an educational or training program;
TDLR’s criminal history guidelines are available at www.tdlr.texas.gov/crimconvict.htm and include restrictions or guidelines TDLR uses to determine eligibility for an occupational license; and individuals have the right to request a criminal history evaluation letter from TDLR, which is explained in more detail at https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/crimHistoryEval.htm.
This program is NOT designed to transfer.
