Outcomes Overview
Refrigeration School Inc graduates enter a booming field with a 94.9% employment rate and median earnings of $52,953 within ten years. The debt-to-earnings ratio sits at just 16%, well below the national average for trade schools. Monthly loan payments of $87 consume only 2% of typical graduate income, making this one of the more manageable debt loads in higher education. Most graduates find work as HVAC technicians, refrigeration specialists, or electrical systems installers in Arizona's growing construction and maintenance sectors. The desert climate creates year-round demand for cooling system experts. Despite the large class sizes, this represents a strong return on investment for students seeking stable, well-paying technical careers.
