Technology is rapidly changing, nowhere is this more apparent than in the HVACR industry. How can prospective students be assured that a HVACR program will provide them with employment ready skills? How can employers be assured that the graduates of a program are properly trained? The answer to these questions is simple, by selecting an HVACR program that is nationally accredited with credentialed instructors.

Lincoln College of Technology in Grand Prairie wanted to verify that they were teaching their students at the highest level. To accomplish this they decided to seek programmatic accreditation from HVAC Excellence.

Programmatic accreditation is where an independent third party HVAC Excellence reviews a program against set educational and industry standards in: curriculum, faculty, student facilities, placement services, financial aid, and advisory committee involvement, training facilities, equipment & safety.

In seeking accreditation the staff at the Lincoln College of Technology had to complete and submit a self study evaluation of their program that demonstrates how they meet each required standard. The self study once completed was sent to HVAC Excellence for their executive team to thoroughly assess for compliance against each standard.
