HVAC Apprenticeship Heating and Air Conditioning Installer/Servicer
Indian Hills Community College has established a registered Department of Labor apprenticeship
program for companies to enroll employees/apprentices.
The Apprenticeship standards were developed to meet the needs of the electrical and HVAC field for the
requirements of the statewide licensing of HVAC Technicians. These standards were developed in
accordance with the Department of Labor/Office of Apprenticeship (DOL/OA) as a basis for which Indian
Hills Community College Apprenticeship and Training Committee developed an apprenticeship program
to meet the needs of the area.
Indian Hills Community College Apprenticeship and Training Committee has established the Related
Instruction for the apprenticeship and will assist companies in registering their employees/potential
apprentices into the program and provide administrative assistance in monitoring the apprentices’
progress toward completing the Related Instruction and 8000 hours of On the Job Learning.
Estimated Related Instruction Cost per Apprentice:

Course Fees (2016-2017 rates) -- $110
Book Cost -- $400 (estimate)
Total Estimated Cost -- $5295
