IGSHPA Accredited Installer (AI) Training – LIVE from the 2022 IGSHPA Conference

For the second year in a row, Ryan Carda is teaching the IGSHPA Accredited Geothermal Installer course live and in-person at this year’s IGSHPA Conference. It’s a hybrid course, with the majority offered in an online learning environment with the last day in-person at the 2022 IGSHPA Conference in Las Vegas, NV. You also receive the full online course, so you can start early or continue learning after the conference.

• Some of the lessons will be delivered via live webinar prior to the conference, and we’ll meet for 2 hours one day during the conference (Wed, December 7th from 8:00-10:00 am).
• Manuals are recommended but not required with this course. They cost $225 and you can buy them directly through IGSHPA.
• Conference registration is not included, but training participants get a 50% discount. Details on how to register for the IGSHPA Conference for $100 are inside this course.
• The exam will be taken online afterwards, and you’ll have access to the online materials for a full year to prepare for the exam.
