Big News: Residential Mini-Splits Training Is Here!  

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new NexTech Select bundle of courses in NexTech Academy: Residential Mini-Splits! This highly anticipated training is officially live and ready for student enrollment. 

Since NexTech Academy’s inception, there have been requests for mini-split content. Feedback from our Nexstar members has driven this initiative, and we’re proud to say we’ve delivered.  

Mini-Split Training Beta Testing with Member Companies  

To ensure this training met the high standards, we ran a beta test with some of our Nexstar member companies. Their feedback helped us refine the course and create an even better product. A huge thank-you to these participating companies:  

Member Feedback  

Here’s what some of our beta testers had to say:  

“Kudos to those who built this. I’ve gone through NexTech Academy’s HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC Install, and Residential Heat Pumps trainings, and with each module, the content has become better organized, with excellent attention to structure.”
~ Kris Gerry, Air Control Home Services
“Tough topic to cover, especially with the variations in brand designs out there. I think you guys did a great job here. This serves as an excellent introduction to mini-split troubleshooting. Training leaders will need to take the ball and run with it for their specific brand training.” 
~ Daniel Dent, Ostrom Electrical, Plumbing, Heating, and Air, on the Mini-Split Troubleshooting course:
“Yes, so much good information. Pictures of every tool or machine that is needed. I love having the longer videos of a technician performing the tasks.” 
~ Kris Gerry, Air Control Home Services:
