Go thru the training or firefigther 'bootcamp'.  Some schools offer firefighter training.  It's physical and endurance training and hands-on instruction where you receive instruction and/or graded coursework.\n\nThere's the firefighter exam, background check and lie detector testing and also EMT training and certification.

One of my ex-boyfriends went to a community college and got an Associates degree in something or another electrical.  When you're done with that, you have to study to take a test.  Once you pass it, you can get hired on with a company either directly or as an apprentice.

Start with a HNC building studies course - 2 years part time from your local college - this will qualify you to be a technician or equivalent within the building industry. You can work your way up gradually from there, doing part time courses, but with the benefit of being employed at the same time. Otherwise its a fulltime/partime degree in surveying if thats your interest - followed by the exams for RICS (royal institute chartered surveyors) to become a chartered surveyor - that should take you no longer than 4 or 5 years full time.

Great question, as a Senior SAP Instructor my advice is the following:  The job you are planning is very complicated and requires knowledge in a broad range of fields to include Metal/Steel work, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, permits, architecture.  Therefore the right partners will make this successful.\n\nThe most important thing to start is to align yourself with a good HVAC contractor that has done jobs of the size you are outlining (i.e. how many sqft is the building, how much common area space, how many buffer zones, how many heat/cooling pumps would be required (assuming closed loop system).  It is likely that this HVAC contractor will have acquaintances that can help and also be able to make recommendations on equipment based on experience (I've put up 6 large EVAPCO towers as a proj mgr).\n\nFrom here your HVAC guys should be able to enumerate the remaider of the concerns.  Bear in mind you'll be dealing with things like; new penetrations through the roof to accomodate facilities feeding the tower, the need architect and manufacture steel to specification and later install those girders to support the tower.  You'll need at least a 20ton crane to boom the unit to the top, you may need to consider building a shadowbox around the unit so it's nicer in appearance and so forth.  Don't forget the permits you may require from the local municipalities either.\n\nGood luck,\n\nAlfredo

There are several ways to do this - \n\nIf you are 16-24 head to Job Corps. They have many different construction trades. Many ofthe programs are directly tied to the union, and the instructors are not "teachers" but union carpenters, or whatever. http://jccdrc.jobcorps.gov/voc_db/search/voc_master_view/voc_offering_list will take you to a list of all the Job Corps Centers and all the possible trades you can learn.\n\nIf you are older - go to your local state apprenticeship office (can't provide the link as you do say where you are) and ask about the trade you want to join.

You need to do the work yourself. I am sure there is a lot of information on technical training websites. You can do it- good luck.

That all depends on what you are doing.... Putting in a new fridge, no.  Replacing the stove, no.  Fixing a hole in a wall, no.  Now, are you going to replace wires in the home or unit, yes.  Most trade jobs that require an licensed expert and the answer is yes.  Just look at the liabilities of what appears to be a simple thing of hooking up a new service to a hot tub and then something going terribly wrong and that should open your eyes to having the proper license.  Listen to those that say you do not need one at all and you may get by until something happens. Just call your local building inspector what you are requested to do a job that you think may need license and they will be able to tell you.

First you need to take a course at a local college, or if you prefer out of state, but if you plan on becoming an electrical contractor within your state it is best to take classes at a college that is familiar with your state and its codes.  Next you need to apply for licensure (after successful completion of your courses) and to get that information, your local college should be able to provide you with all of the specifics on obtaining a license.

Go for any technical short period courses like electrical, plumbing, aluminium fabrication and A/C & refrigeration etc which is suitable for you.  Try to get a diploma certificate for any of these, make easy to find out a job.  \nGood luck.

generally all you need is a high school diploma to be a technician (unless your state has diffrent requirements than mine). there is a certification course, but it isnt required by law(some places may require you to take it though)

Get a masters degree and teach at a community college. In some states you can teach while you take the required classes to obtain certification...you have to teach elementary school though.

Ive never heard of a federal cert, but you can be state certified. Look into Certified Nursing Assistant requirements for your state. You will have to take a short course and a state board exam to become certified. Look into the Red Cross in your area also. I know the red cross has a course. I took it before I went to nursing school.
