Trane/RightTek HVAC Training

RightTek HVAC Training operates as a Department of Defense Skill-Bridge approved training center in Fort Liberty, North Carolina, specializing in the Trade Warriors HVAC Bootcamp. This eight-week intensive program, developed in partnership with Trane Technologies, serves active-duty military members within six months of separation, veterans, and their qualifying adult dependents. The program combines classroom instruction with hands-on training using residential Trane equipment, preparing students for EPA 608 and NATE certification while offering job placement assistance with Trane dealers nationwide. Located on Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), the training facility features fully equipped HVAC classrooms with multiple training units and tools.

What distinguishes RightTek HVAC Training from standard trade schools is its direct connection to Trane Technologies and military Career Skills Programs. Students receive over 300 hours of hands-on training on heat pumps, air conditioners, furnaces, air handlers, and ductless systems. The program is GI Bill eligible or employer-sponsored through Trane's program, making it essentially free for qualifying military members. Graduates log hours toward state HVAC licensing requirements and receive continuous career support including interview preparation and connections with previous program participants.

Reviewers consistently highlight the instructional quality, with former students praising instructors Brian and George for their knowledge and patience. Graduate Jack Collier noted that the course includes hands-on training every day, with job recommendations and interview practice provided. James Schilling described the instructors as well-educated and military-friendly, emphasizing that regardless of starting point, graduates finish ready for the HVAC workforce. Michael Batista noted graduates emerge with knowledge exceeding their peers.
