Where the Manchester HVAC program numbers come from

Which Manchester HVAC programs are on this list?

These are the HVAC programs with classes in the Manchester-Nashua area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the New Hampshire page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.

How the prices and results of Manchester HVAC programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the New Hampshire figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for New Hampshire: its rates sit far below every other state's.
