How's the Program Set Up?

 

Smart Building Academy's Building Automation Technician Certificate Program prepares students to hit the ground running on day one.

 

Our seasoned cadre of instructors will facilitate live training sessions for students along with self-paced lessons, and on-the-job exercises.

 

In just 11 weeks, students cultivate the foundation needed to skip the typical learning curve met by new technicians.

 

Explore the program roadmap below to learn exactly what students learn as they move through SBA's Workforce Development Program.

Phase 1: Admission

 

SBA's Building Automation Technician Certificate Program is a highly accelerated workforce development program.

 

We support employers looking to rapidly upskill new and existing employees.

Furthermore, we have the capability to facilitate connections between employers and a broad spectrum of talent during their quest for new hires.

 

Given the substantial involvement of live instruction, each cohort is capped at a maximum of 25 students.

Phase 2: Onboarding

During the onboarding process, our student success team works to familiarize students with the SBA Learning Management System (LMS) and works with employers to prepare their employees for the program.

Phase 3: Accelerated Skill Mastery - Becoming a Building Automation Technician

 

Phase 3 of our program is where theoretical knowledge and practical skills coalesce into a comprehensive educational experience. Throughout this vital phase, students embark on a journey to become proficient building automation technicians. They gain hands-on exposure, understanding not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind the complex systems they will manage in their future careers.

Phase 4: Validation

What Students Are Saying

SBA has been instrumental in allowing me to break into the BAS industry. Its very possible I would still be doing HVAC service had I not discovered SBA.
Michael G.
I am brand new to the field of building automation and I have learned so much information just in this small window of time. Phil can take you from the ground floor and make you into a great professional.
Chase F.
Very helpful in getting more acclimated in the BAS/Control field. I've been a medium voltage electrician for 17 years and recently decided to transition to controls. It's very nice to have a resource like this to move me along more quickly.
