Our purpose at Ultimate Technical Academy is to create an elite group of top performing HVAC technicians through education & hands-on training. We currently offer the following five-day courses:

• Electrical for HVAC
• Refrigeration AC/HP Technology
• Heating Technology
• Installation Technology
• Advanced Service Diagnostics
• Electricians Service and Maintenance
• Plumbing Service and Maintenance

No pre-requisite is required for the Electrical & Refrigeration Courses; either course may be taken first. However, before attending Heating Technology course the student is advised to first attend Electrical for HVAC.  The Advanced Service Diagnostics course is for experienced technicians.

Students are not required to do any pre-course work before coming & do not need to bring anything; all materials & tools are provided. Homework will be assigned each evening & an exam is given on the last day.

Please call Pat Hardwick at UTA (1-501-835-8200) for registration forms. Class size varies, so please register early to reserve your place. Visit the web-site for additional information such as: course descriptions, training schedule, pictures & quotes from previous students.

TRANSPORTATION

If arriving by air, students will need to take an airport shuttle or taxi to the LaQuinta Inn.  LaQuinta Inn is 12 miles from the Airport.
