Virtual trade school faq's

Why did you start The Blue Collar Virtual Trade School?

Quite simply, there are not enough people trained in these  essential jobs that keep our country running smoothly. My years of experience as a trades business owner and then as a consultant to employers across the US  has shown me how difficult it is to find and retain qualified people. 


Today more than 1.4 million jobs are available and unfilled. Demand is expected to grow. Baby boomers are retiring from these jobs, making the gap in skilled labor even worse. 


Learning a skilled trade promises to be one of the most reliable means of making a living — particularly in light of today's high unemployment levels. 

How has COVID-19 and its aftermath impacted the trades?

There are 4 key trends that underscore the tremendous opportunity available to people interested in starting careers in the trades:

  1. Skilled trades - or essential services like HVAC, plumbing, electrical and solar - are more important than ever.
  2. Training bridges the skills gap/labor shortage - more than. twice as many skilled workers are retiring than are entering the workforce in these essential skilled positions.
  3. Technology (virtual reality, 3D simulations) accelerates learning and is putting people to work faster than ever before.
  4. In the new post-COVID world, every aspect of training and service delivery will need to change to adapt to new distancing protocols. Many trades will have to change the way they operate, placing a heightened focus on health safety and the incorporation of new skill sets. The HVAC sector gives us an easy example to understand as technicians make modifications to existing ventilation systems to mitigate the spread of viruses.  

Which skilled trades do you offer training for?

Our courses will prepare you for careers in the HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Solar Installation and the Multi-Family Facility Management fields. 

What is covered in the courses?

 Coursework begins by covering basic principles for the industry you have chosen and continues with practical examples that involve real-world troubleshooting / customer scenarios. Industry specific safety classes and exam prep are also included. Plus, we will provide communications skills classes to help you feel comfortable working for a home service company.   

How much does it cost?

Our total tuition package costs less than $2,000 and includes everything you need to start your exciting new career. Plus, many of our sponsors will  help offset some of that cost if you choose to go to work for them when you graduate. 

How long do I have to finish?

You have access to all the curriculum for 12 months to complete the coursework. Most people can finish in under three months but can still access all of the materials for review through 12 months.

How does completing this course qualify me for a job?

When you complete the required coursework in the trade field you have chosen, you will receive the accreditation and credentials needed to land your first job in the skilled trades. 

Will The Blue Collar Recruiter help me find a job?

Yes. We guarantee our qualified graduates job interviews. The Blue Collar Recruiter team works with you throughout your course of study to offer mentoring, coaching and interview readiness training. Plus, we will provide interview prep. courses to help guide you through the upcoming interview process.  

What other opportunities are there for someone with skilled trades training?

Most people that start their career in these trades never leave the industry. Most actually become supervisors, managers, or even owners of their own companies. The opportunities are endless.
