QUESTION:

How do I get the skills to get into this great career – how long will it take?

Answer:

Most really great technicians went to school to get their skills. Just as you would want your Doctor to have gone to school to learn how to properly work on you, customers want you to go to school to learn how to properly work on their delicate and expensive HVAC-Refrigeration equipment. Problem is, who has the time to spend years learning a new career? Good news! Brownson Technical Schools offer accelerated training, geared to get you into the career FAST. How do we do this?

Time after time, virtually all evidence points to hands-on training as being the best, fastest way to learn most things. When you learned how to ride a bicycle, you probably didn’t go to classroom to learn it, you probably went out on the street and kept trying until you learned how to ride that bicycle. Brownson Technical School also believes that the best way to learn this technical field is to actually get your hands on the real equipment, then learn by doing. Yes, time will have to be spent in the classroom due to the highly technical nature of the work, but at Brownson Technical School, students spend as much time as possible in the hands-on part of the training.

Want to know how to spot a school that does hands-on training? It looks like a working shop, it might not be as pretty and clean as some schools, but you can see the evidence of work being done. The opposite is true of schools that don’t do hands-on training, it is easy for them to be nice and clean, not much going on there.

Another factor that has an effect on learning would be what kind of instructors teach at the school. Finding and keeping good instructors is difficult. Instructors must first, be well trained themselves, they must also know how to teach. This requires finding more than someone that knows the field, it means finding some that knows the field and can communicate it to others. Brownson Technical School has a commitment to hiring quality, qualified, committed instructors to make learning as easy and believe it or not, as much fun as possible.
