What Our Students Are Saying

Jack Ryan Academy has been awesome. The 12 week program for HVAC techs has prepared me with the skills I need for a career in the HVAC industry. Hands-on training, and real-world experience have been my favorite part of the program. The “earn while you learn” has allowed me to still make money while I go to school. I’m excited for my future and cannot wait to have a career with Genz-Ryan.

Andrew

As a current student at the Jack Ryan Academy, I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience! This 12-week trade school program for HVAC technicians is the real deal. The academy provides training that more than prepares us for a career in the HVAC industry. I’m impressed with the teachers and experiences we’ve been able to experience. JRA goes above and beyond to ready us with the “real-world” experience and expertise required for a rewarding career. I recommend JRA.

Mike

I was right out of high school and didn’t know what to do next. I was not considering a 4 year school because I didn’t want the school loans. If you're looking for a last career change or just starting out, JRA and Genz-Ryan offers real opportunities. Don't wait, just give it a try!

Jordan

My time in the JRA has been a very positive experience the whole way through. It's a nice blend of verbal and visual learning where you learn something new every day. Andy does a great job at having an open minded and welcoming classroom feel where everyone can ask any question, even the dumb ones. I feel satisfied with the whole program, and I feel that I have learned so much in just a few months. It went by so fast too! Definitely shows the best example when it comes to HVAC training.
