NextGen Hands On Training Lab

A Real-World Training Facility for Real-World HVAC Careers

Step inside NextGen's training facility and see why our graduates hit the ground running. Our lab floor features an extensive lineup of equipment spanning the full range of refrigerants technicians encounter in the field today — from legacy R-22 systems to R-410A, and the newest generation of A2L refrigerants, R-32 and R-454B.

Students train hands-on across a wide variety of system types, including:

• Air-to-air and water source heat pumps
• Inverter-driven heat pump systems
• Straight air conditioning units
• Through-the-wall condensers
• Aquatherm air handlers
• Gas furnaces
• Ductless mini-split systems

This breadth of equipment means our students aren't just learning theory — they're getting practical experience across the residential, light commercial, and hydronic systems they'll actually service on the job. Whether it's diagnosing an older R-22 unit or working with the latest low-GWP refrigerant technology, our graduates leave prepared for whatever the field throws at them.
