What is the ACCA/CF HARV Mechanic Apprentice Program?
The ACCA of Central Florida HARV Mechanic program is a full 3-year indentured apprentice program, Florida State Certified through the Florida Bureau of Apprenticeship. This program curriculum was handpicked by the ACCA of Central Florida Apprenticeship Committee for the local contractors to train their employees.

A certificate of competency will be issued for each full year of completion. Upon completion of the third program year, the apprentice will receive a final certificate of completion from the State of Florida Department of Education Bureau of Appenticeship, and he/she will also be certified by the Air Conditioning Contractors Association of Central Florida. I addition to competency certificates, apprenticeship completers will also recieve patches for their uniforms as proof of their training to the public. All third year apprentices will be required to take a national AHRI Industry Competency Exam administered by an outside source at the end of the course.
