Registration Information

You must provide an Application Review Committee (ARC) approval letter from the Department of Labor & Industry or a voucher from your local PA CareerLink. If you don't have either of these, payment will be required prior to admittance to courses.

The Weatherization Training Center has received a number of requests from the training providers and from individuals for permission for "bump-ups" - receiving crew chief coursework when only an installer voucher has been issued or receiving auditor coursework when only a crew chief voucher has been issued. All individuals who would like to receive the next level of coursework must apply for the next level of coursework through the Application Review Committee. Example: an installer who wishes to take crew chief coursework must apply again through the Application Review Committee in order to take crew chief coursework.

The main reason for this decision is to ensure that individuals have adequate experience in the field before they are allowed the next level of coursework. This is especially true with individuals who wish to take auditor coursework – these individuals should have at least 6 months of field experience. In addition, WTC has received a number of requests from individuals who wish to take crew chief coursework but have not yet completed Installer coursework. These individuals must take the installer coursework first.
