O U T R E A C H MTEC has made it a priority to have a presence at
career and college fairs as well as presenting to Maine high
school classes about HVAC and the importance of learning a
trade. The MTEC staff explains, "It is important to educate students
who might not want the expense of a two or four-year college
degree program. An MTEC education will ensure them a job after
graduation as well as a stable work with competitive pay. We
have been overwhelmed by the support of staff and teachers
throughout the state who understand that not all students will
find success in traditional education."
C L A S S E S O F F E R E D Classes range from Oil Technician Training, to
A/C Refrigeration & Troubleshooting, to Propane and Natural Gas
Appliance Install and Service, as well as Heat Pump Training. MTEC
also provides a semester-long 500-hour HVAC Pro class that will
prepare students to qualify for Maine State Licensing in an
accelerated time frame. Completion of the 6-week Oilheat Technician
Training course will eliminate six months of apprenticeship time
required by the state for licensing. This program also provides
students with nationally recognized propane and natural gas
certification and EPA Air Conditioning Certification. The full training
costs $12,000 and financial assistance is available.
