Jon Wayne Academy For Technical Excellence
HVAC Academy – 10 Week Training Program
The Academy for Technical Excellence is San Antonio’s premier HVAC trade school. Over 400 technicians have graduated from our Academy since we launched in 2008.
This is a 10-week HVAC training program designed to take motived individuals with no prior experience and develop them into confident, job-ready technicians capable of performing maintenance calls independently. The course combines foundational theory with hands-on, real-world applications to ensure students gain both the knowledge and practical skills required in the field.
Students begin by learning core HVAC concepts, including system components, basic electricity, refrigeration principles, and safety procedures. As the program progresses, training shifts toward diagnostics, troubleshooting, airflow, and system performance.
By the end of the course, participants are trained to perform routine maintenance, identify common system issues, communicate findings to customers, and provide solutions to address customers’ needs with professionalism and efficiency. Graduates leave with a strong technical foundation and the confidence to enter the workforce and contribute immediately.

- Real world skills in a curated training environment
- Hands on training from instructors with over 80 years of combined experience
