Some program highlights are:

Tuition

COURSE CERTIFICATION

The school year equates to 288 hours, and those hours, upon completion, will count as 1 year of the 2 years of work experience needed to sit for the licensing test. This is a requirement set forth by the Department of Housing. At the end of the program, students will sit for their actual journeyman licensing examination. Students will also receive other career certifications through their program including Red Cross First Aid/CPR certification, and CSST Gas Pipe certification.

INSTRUCTORS

Program instructors are currently working in the field and are experts in the trades. They come with the skills and knowledge to prepare students for careers after the program ends. Learn more about our instructors here.

 CAREER SUPPORT AND JOB PLACEMENT

While the School of Building Mechanical Sciences cannot guarantee job placement during or after the program, our staff will work diligently with the students to provide the necessary career support to help them find a job. Our school works with a vast number of companies throughout the State of Kentucky, and our program allows students the opportunity to work on perfecting their trade during the day while going to school at night. Our staff will also work with students to get them career ready, providing them with resume support and interview assistance to help them land a job in their chosen field. In addition, students will go through training on customer service and support in the field during class time to help them in their jobs.
