I was considering going to Heating plus A/C university, however I wasn’t sure if I could afford it.
I had heard different stories about the cost of the classes plus the certification, plus everyone said they had a difficult time getting a student loan.
I was persistent, plus instead of listening to them plus feeling like going to Heating plus A/C university would never come to fruition, I went to the local community university, where they held the classes. I talked to the person in admissions plus asked her about the cost of Heating plus A/C classes. She told me I could take part time classes if I worked, which I did. It would be abou ten hours a week for thirty weeks, plus then I would need to take the certification class, plus do the hands-on classes, and once my friend and I got through the classroom, I would need to give extra hours because I would be working on real boilers plus a/c units. I asked her about the cost? She give me a bottom line cost, plus I blanched. As much as I wanted to be an Heating plus A/C worker, I knew I couldn’t get a student loan for that amount of cash. She said they had a yearly payment plan. I would pay about $76 a month for two years. I would then pay $250 a month for three years, when I graduated. If I chose to pay yearly, I would get a 10% discount. That would be a substantial sum of cash until I was working, however for two years, I was sure I could do it. I wanted to be an Heating plus A/C worker plus this was my chance.
