We found 28 schools in our database that offer HVAC training programs in Illinois! We've listed them below. The cost data is what we found going to their websites in 2014, but it may change over time, so make sure to confirm it when you talk to the school. We will try and keep it up to date!

"Cohort Default Rate" is a statistic you will see listed for many schools. It's a measure the US Department of Education uses that basically represents what percent of the school's recent graduates are currently in default on their student loans. There's more info on that here.

You should make sure to contact at least a few different schools and talk to the people in charge of the HVAC program. You never know which one you may end up liking best, and the schools themselves can tell you much more about their programs than a site like ours can. We're just here to help you get started. Good luck!
