Start a challenging, new career!

The licenses we offer will give your great opportunities to work as an Electrician, HVAC Technician, Building Maintenance, PLC Technician or Industrial Maintenance and many more! Those who have good management skills may decide to pursue a career as Building Engineer, a highly respected and well paid position! Many of our students start working as electricians for Amtrak, Metra Union Pacific, CTA and other railroad companies. Both Amtrak and Metra choose to hire electricians with previous knowledge of HVAC because they have passenger cars. The Mechanical Standard, Air Center, Crystal Air and other HVAC companies prefer to hire our students because apart from the traditional HVAC training, they have extensive electrical training. Neiman Marcus, Greek-American Nursing Home, Bobak Sausage Company and many others have hired our graduates as Building Engineers. Our graduates are also working in the position of Maintenance for Bally Total Fitness, National Pizza, KOSH Factory, and many other companies. Another attractive possibility would be getting into a Labor Union!!! With a Union you will not only get amazing benefits, but also a very compatible pay. By the way, before getting into this business, the school’s Director, held a position of a local chairman of International Brotherhood of Railroad Workers, Union 794.

Chicago Professional Center offers intensive career counseling for life! Also, thanks to our former graduates, we have many connections in the industry. Rest assured, once your own efforts are combined with certification and career counseling, finding a secure position will not be much of a hassle, even in today’s economy.

Many of our students, however, choose a different route. As soon as they gain enough experience they open their own companies. Who wouldn’t want to be their own boss?? As you further explore our website, you will find numerous testimonies and even business cards of former students who started their own business. Feel free to do some research, call any of these people and ask them about their success.

Why Chicago Professional Center?

Through an innovative mix of in-dept instruction and hands-on-training, Chicago Professional Center continues to set the standard for excellence for Electrical and HVAC Education. The first part of the course is Electricity. It offers the students practical understanding of key aspects of Electronics. They will learn about electronic circuitry, resistors and capacitors, as well as transistors and operational amplifiers, and on through the more complicated world of digital logic. Right after Electricity, we get into the HVAC part of the course. Students study the basics of installation, maintenance, and repair. Regardless of your experience level, and previous knowledge of electricity and HVAC, you will be successful in this course as long as you put your mind to it. Although it is ideal for anyone, our course is designed for beginners, so even if all you know about electricity is how to change a light bulb without blowing something up, you will graduate, receive your license, and be on your way to financial independence in no time! What makes our school different is our approach to theory. We do not concentrate so much on the actual ‘theory’ but focus more on practical applications. We don’t care if you know what material a furnace is made of, or how it was put together, what matters to us is whether or not you can determine which part is good and which is out of order.
