History

Environmental Technical Institute (ETI) was founded to meet the growing needs of the heating, air conditioning and refrigeration industry. The founders of ETI have owned one of the largest heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contracting companies in the Chicago land area, since 1973. This direct industry affiliation and experience provide the knowledge of what type of training is needed to prepare skilled technicians.

Experts in the HVAC industry have developed ETI's innovative audiovisual program and curriculum. Each day and evening program focuses on knowledge and abilities needed at the entry level. A continual process of course reevaluation ensures that training is up to date and provides the most comprehensive instruction possible.

ETI believes in the principle of total preparation. We not only provide the requisite knowledge and skills, but also the opportunity for personal and professional development so that those who emerge from our program have the tools for professional growth and advancement.

Although our goal is to provide each student with the potential for immediate employment within the HVAC industry, our long range focus is a productive, rewarding career for those we train. ETI is committed to providing the most comprehensive training possible to every student who enters the program to ensure career flexibility and, to provide a satisfying educational experience.
