The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC) Educational Foundation is expanding its online offerings to better serve the growing needs of the plumbing and HVACR community, making it a central hub for proper education, training, and certification in the p-h-c industry.  

The Foundation is adding a suite of new courses to the PHCC Academy platform that are available to all plumbing and HVACR students, apprentices, and practicing technicians, as well as business owners and their administrative staff, to obtain mandatory certifications to comply with federal regulations regarding refrigerant handling and to complement their business management and leadership skills.  

The existing HVACR curriculum is being enriched by two new certification preparatory courses, equipping technicians with the proper knowledge to earn credentials to safely work in the field and be able to purchase and transport low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants confidently.  

Apart from these HVACR-related courses, new plumbing courses (coming later in the year), and a series of business-focused learning modules are available. 

“We’re always looking to enhance our educational programming to ensure our p-h-c workforce is properly trained and complying with the regulatory requirements impacting the industry,” says Dan Quinonez, executive director of the PHCC Educational Foundation.
