How to Choose a Trade School in Arizona

There are a few things you should look for when choosing a trade school. The most important include:

Accreditation

Like The Refrigeration School (RSI), a trade school should be accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges1 and comply with local, state, and federal regulations. Further, similar to RSI, they should be licensed to operate by the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education. Accreditation agencies hold trade schools to high standards, and being accredited shows that the RSI is committed to your quality education.

Smaller Class Sizes

Another attribute of a good trade school is a smaller student-to-teacher ratio. Smaller classes mean more individualized attention for students. Instructors will be able to give you personalized guidance and answer any of your questions throughout the learning process. RSI makes sure that you get the guidance needed to reach your goals.

Hands-On Learning

Hands-on learning is an integral part of a quality education. RSI helps you put classroom theory to the test in a supervised and safe setting. The Welding program at RSI even uses virtual reality to enhance your welding training. OccuWeld is a virtual reality welding simulator that offers expert welding instruction and immediate feedback to improve your welding technique.

Specialized Teaching System

A trade school in Arizona needs to have a unique and specialized teaching system. RSI uses the E-STAR and M-STAR systems to troubleshoot common problems in HVAC/R systems. By the end of the HVAC program, you can recognize, diagnose, and fix any issues.

Student Services

A trade school should support you during and after graduation. RSI does just that. We offer career services to help you find a job after graduation. We help you prepare a strong resume, prepare for interviews and meet with hiring managers in Arizona. At RSI, financial aid is available for those who qualify, and those who have served our country are eligible for veteran benefits.
