Who Should Take This Course
Attendance is generally made up of HVAC contractors, drillers, builders, plumbers, engineers and contracting business owners looking to
take advantage of the huge market growth happing in the geothermal industry. If you have little to no background in a comparably skilled
building trade but are interested in joining the industry, you might consider taking one of our beginner
online geothermal trainings in advance of this classroom training.
Geothermal Designer Boot Camp Benefits
1. You actually learn how to do this for yourself. There are no shortcuts or rules of thumb in this course. People who are responsible for designing systems that work for customers like to look under the hood and know how things really run.
2. It uses the IGSHPA manual. This isn't a proprietary software package, and you can use anybody's equipment in your design.
3. The instructor. A good instructor is key to any educational experience - this is a real expert who knows how to make complex subjects seem simple. And he is somebody you can contact down the road if you need help in the field.
Meet the Instructor:
Ryan Carda is a Mechanical Engineer at GeoPro, Inc. and is a co-founder of Geo-Connections, Inc He is a co-author of “Design and Installation of Residential and Light Commercial GSHP Systems”, developed in cooperation with the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA).

His involvement in the industry has included technical support for thermally-enhanced grouting materials as well as design, installation, commissioning and troubleshooting of all types of geothermal systems.

Courses usually have 30-35 students. A group that size is big enough for great networking, but small enough so the instructor can answer all of your specific questions.

"I've used the training and contacts that I made taking this course to install 5 systems to date with more on the way and they are all working great. I now include geothermal HVAC systems with my Plumbing Heating and Cooling Business. Thank you all for your efforts to bring this great old technology into the mainstream of America."

"Having had my own business since 1985 with 60+ employee's and having attending many workshops/seminars myself over that time, this PV workshop was one of the best organized and along with Ken's knowledge of the PV industry, made this three day workshop a complete success. Ken has the ability to pass on his knowledge of 12 years in the PV industry to a class made up of non electricians with great success. He is extremely patient and makes every effort to disseminate the large amount of technical information in only three days."
