Welcome to the Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Pipefitting Education Center’s Communication and Information Web. As you browse through our site, questions may come up, if so -- ask us, we're here to help.

Our program is over 50 years old. On October 11, 1949, we were registered with the state of Florida as an apprenticeship program. Our educational ties run deep, along with the state of Florida, we are proud of our affiliation with Miami-Dade County, Broward County, the Federal Bureau of Apprenticeship and the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters - Washington DC.

As you read on, more information will be presented: i.e., requirements, procedure for acceptance, application, rate of pay, course descriptions and curriculum. The most asked question about a career in air conditioning is "How much will I make?" A first-year apprentice that is accepted into our program as of 6/30/2005 will make $10.44 per hour ($20,800 per year).  As you progress through the ranks of your education, so does your rate of pay. After successful completion of your first year, an excellent health and welfare program becomes available. Upon entering your fourth year, a pension fund becomes a part of your benefit package. The benefit package is part of a negotiated plan that will be  described later.

Opportunity, career, free tuition, great wages, health and welfare and pension -- all are part of the Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Pipefitting Education Center’s total educational commitment. Interested? READ ON!
