Manufacturer’s training

These short courses are designed to provide practical and hands on training for existing HVAC professionals looking to enter the geothermal industry. Designed to be short and sweet, these courses are led by product engineers and experts in the industry to help professionals avoid common mistakes.

A high quality breakfast and lunch are typically provided.

IGSHPA Certification Courses

IGSHPA Trainings are typically longer courses and an exam at the end will determine if an applicant can be certified. In 2024, the Certified Installer course will be offered regularly and a Certified Geothermal Driller course will be offered at a later date.
