BUILD AN HANDS-ON FUTURE - TNHSMT
Our Oil Heat Technician course has been developed to introduce and provide the necessary knowledge required towards becoming a qualified technician in the oil heat industry. Using live equipment, this course is designed to instruct students in the proper and safe operation of new and old oil-fired systems. The books and lab fees cover all books, handouts, and lab supplies; but students will have to provide their own basic tools. Tools will be discussed the first week of the class and will be needed throughout the course on lab nights. The class is split into classroom theory and lab time. Discussions on process and safety will be held in the classroom and followed by demonstrations in the lab for better understanding of the material and techniques. This process helps us provide a “Real Life” setting to learn in but also a controlled environment. Tests will be given weekly to ensure students are understanding the curriculum and also to better prepare them for the NORA and/or MA license exam.
Utilizing the NORA, National Oilheat Research Alliance, Technician Manual in conjunction with the live systems in our labs; students are able to learn proper cleaning and tune-up procedures, electrical wiring, as well as service and troubleshooting techniques. Throughout the course students will be prepping for the NORA certification and the exam will be provided on the last day of the course. This exam is optional and costs an additional $50, but it is highly recommended to help advance in the heating industry. We have also added the 2020 NFPA 31 code book to the curriculum. This book is used in the state of Massachusetts to regulate the Oil Heat systems and licensing practices. Upon completion, with the NORA Certification, students can apply for the NH voluntary Oil Heating certification and also test for the MA State Oil Burner license.

HOW DO I BECOME A NEW HAMPSHIRE LICENSED OIL TECHNICIAN?
The State of NH only has a Voluntary Certification for an Oil License. This means there is no mandatory licensing, as of right now, or apprenticeship needed for NH's oil technicians.
If an individual would like to receive the Voluntary Certification, and become a certified NH Oil Technician, all the technician needs to provide is:
*State Application
*Application Fee
*Proof of 4,000 hours of appropriate field experience
*NORA Silver certification, NORA Gold certification, or NATE Service and Installation Modules
WHAT IS NORA?
NORA stands for National Oilheat Research Alliance. This non-profit organization sets the national standards for the Oil heat industry.
THEY HAVE THREE LEVELS OF CERTIFICATION:
Bronze Certification
Level one designed for beginner's to learn and execute fundamental skills.(Everyone starts at this level)
Silver Certification
Level two for technical competence established through training, a test and field experience.
Gold Certification
Highest level is established through previous participation in the Silver Certification program with additional competency in energy efficiency.
Once you become a NORA Silver or Gold Certified Service Technician you must complete 24 hours of continuing education (CEUs) every five years to maintain accreditation.
Our Oil Heat course incorporates the Silver level book and students will be eligible to take the Bronze Certification exam at the end of the course. This exam is not mandatory for the course, but is highly recommended; it has an additional charge of $50.
HVAC - TNHSMT
Our A/C course focuses on the residential and commercial air conditioning units, as well as preparation for the EPA certification exam. This course is designed for the current “field” technician, as well as the students with no experience but desires a career in the HVAC industry.
Utilizing our fully functional Hands-On lab, students will learn how to clean, maintain, trouble shoot, and repair the equipment, as well as gain basic understanding of how to install the equipment. Students will receive manufacturing information on the equipment in the lab, as well as packets of information to prepare them for the EPA exam. Throughout the course, students will have to provide their own basic tools. Tool assistance can be provided upon request; the school can order a variety of took kits that vary in price. This course, in conjunction with the EPA certification and proper tools, will assist the current technician to progress in his/her trade, as well as provide new technicians with the knowledge and credentials towards gaining employment in the HVAC industry.
The EPA exam is a national certification incorporated into this course. The Exam itself is optional, and has an additional cost of $50. This certification allows the technician to carry, purchase, and dispose of the chemicals needed for the A/C systems as well as refrigerants. These certificates are great credentials for any resume, and working technician.
The EPA is a certification exam that is commonly known as 608 Certification. Section 608 of the US Federal Clean Air Act requires all persons who work with regulated refrigerants to be certified. We administer this exam at our location and it is provided by the ESCO Institute.

This course is a thorough training course for students to learn how to install industry leading AC equipment. Students will use a fully functional lab to learn how to install a variety of types of equipment and the systems provided. Topics like basic electricity, piping, soldering, brazing, metering devices, heat pumps, and sheet metal duct systems will be covered over a 15-week training period.
The course will start off with understanding the essential uses of basic electrical theory. Working on wiring up the complex systems in the control lab will simulate what to do in the field and teach safety protocol, reducing hazards on the job site. This will also provide the ground knowledge to assist induvial to progress into servicing of the equipment.
Due to the fact that copper tubing and piping are used extensively in the field, students will be instructed on what type of piping to use for what purposes. All piping will be discussed and utilized in the hands-on lab; hooking up the systems to working condition. Students will also learn how to measure and cut the piping needed to run the equipment efficiently. Brazing and soldering, with careful attention to safety procedures to help reduce hazards, will be taught and demonstrated on the lab systems. Learning these techniques and understanding what is needed to reinforce the refrigeration vs. the water lines will be applied and practiced in our lab as well as understanding the associated hazards with flammable gasses and open flames.
Once lines are set, students will be introduced to a variety of metering devices and their functions. Installation of thermal expansion valves and why they were selected will also be discussed. Heat pumps will be also be discussed and demonstrated to provide a better understanding of the operation of heat pump systems. Student will be able to determine performance ratings and know how the equipment operates.
The course will wrap up with an overview of HVAC ductwork.
