EARN WHILE YOU LEARN!

The Plumbing, Heating Cooling Industry needs more well-educated, skilled workers than ever. PHCC Academy students benefit the industry by providing the highest quality work and the best understanding of current technology and practices.

 

The PHCC Academy of San Diego offers training programs and certification courses taught by industry professionals. We take an “earn as you learn” approach, offering our students paid, on-the-job experience with contractor sponsors in addition to classroom instruction. Our class sizes stay small, under 22 students, to give each person access to personalized attention. These are just some reasons business owners and consumers look for the PHCC logo when choosing a contractor they trust.
