Workshop Completion Ceremony โ 2025
The 2025 HVAC workshop completion ceremonies at HVAC Technical Academy celebrate the accomplishments of every participant who completed a 200-hour hands-on HVAC training workshop throughout the year.
Each attendee:
- Trained in both in-house and lab environments
- Practiced safety as a daily standard (not a separate subject)
- Completed the EPA certification test
- Created a unique instructional video based on something they learned
- Received an updated rรฉsumรฉ and job search support (Employment is not guaranteed)
Starting in March 2025, participants have the option to enroll in OSHA 10-hour training through Certification and Safety, an authorized provider of the OSHA Outreach Training Program.
This 2-day training takes place the week after the HVAC workshop and commencement ceremony. Those who complete it receive an official Department of Labor (DOL) card.
While not required, itโs a valuable opportunity for those looking to enhance workplace safety awareness and job readiness.
Each workshop ended with a commencement ceremony where:
- Family and friends were invited to celebrate
- Certificates were awarded
- Attendees shared personal reflections
- Instructors and Founder/CEO Danny Huffman offered closing remarks
- Some ceremonies included a guest speaker
‘Blaze your own trail in life. Make your own choices and make your own mistakes. It’s the only way you’ll find your own happiness, not someone else’s.’
– Michelle Leighton
