Trade School in Orlando, FL
Facilities Maintenance Program — Build a Career in the Trades
The only program that combines full HVAC and plumbing training in one 8-month track. Designed for those pursuing supervisory roles, facilities management, or dual licensure in both trades.
What will you learn
Hyphen School will train you to become a Facilities Maintenance Technician in 8 months. This comprehensive program combines the full HVAC and Plumbing curricula into one track, giving you dual-trade expertise.
Classes run two days per week, which allow our students to continue working during their training. After the eight month program, you will be prepared for apprenticeship in both HVAC and plumbing, or for supervisory facilities management roles.
Why Hyphen is Different
Hyphen's Facilities Maintenance program is the only program in the Orlando area that combines full HVAC and Plumbing training in one track. Students attend in-person only two days per week while continuing their studies via our eLearning platform.
While many schools require students to spend 4 to 5 days per week on campus, Hyphen's eLearning platform allows students to graduate faster with less days in school. Hyphen's placement rate is consistently over 95% within 3 months of graduation.
The combined program means significant tuition savings compared to enrolling in HVAC and Plumbing separately at other schools. Hyphen's Facilities Maintenance program costs $12,465 while taking both programs individually at other technical schools could cost over $36,000.
Total Tuition
$12,465. This includes 8 months of instruction, a $2,400 tool kit covering both HVAC and Plumbing tools, all state board license and registration fees.
Only $2,600 is due at enrollment. The balance of tuition can be spread out over the 8 month program.
We do not offer federal student loans or financial aid. However, this combined program offers exceptional value — training in two trades for a fraction of taking them separately at other schools.
Career Opportunities
Facilities Maintenance Technicians are in extremely high demand across commercial properties, hospitals, hotels, and apartment complexes in Central Florida.
Graduates are qualified for supervisory roles in facilities management, or can pursue dual licensure as both an HVAC Contractor and a Plumber in the State of Florida.
