Courtland’s Answer
You would need to attend a technical college to get the training necessary. To be a licensed HVAC technician usually requires a certification, which can be obtained through the technical college. That usually takes about 1 - 1.5 years. Good luck!

HVAC Training can be attained by on-the-job training (from your hvac employer); through the Job Corps Training Program (David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center - https://www.jobcorps.gov/center/david-l-carrasco-job-corps-center); from one of many online proprietary schools (beware of the high costs of many for-profit schools); or by completing a certificate training program at your local district Community College ( El Paso C. C. - https://www.epcc.edu/Academics/AdvancedTechnologyCenter/hvac).
You might want to compare the program options and costs/benefits from the Job Corps and EPCC. Visit both institutions and ask counselors questions about the program courses, length of program, and earnings potential once certified.
