GRANT WRITING SERVICES
Over 95% of ETP applicants hire a consulting firm to assist them in applying and managing their grant funded training
programs.  American HVAC Training Centers specializes in developing specific training projects for the construction and
building maintenance/management trades.  

We assist our clients in building a grant application which ensures funding acceptance.  We are a full-service firm for
ETP related technical training programs.  But that does not mean that we push our clients to only use our services.  You
decide what assistance you need and how we can help!
TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
American HVAC Training Centers has the expertise to design, develop and/or deliver a skills-based "Training Needs
Analysis" for Building Maintenance and HVAC trades.  We provide you with the tools to determine your employees'
current skill levels and assist you in identifying areas for improvement that translate into a "Training Plan" for your grant
application.

Oftentimes, several HVAC Contractors will get together to develop and deliver training programs that assist their new
hires in learning how to perform work duties in a more efficient and productive manner.  They also choose to deliver
training modules which stress safety and compliance issues in the workplace.  We work with each company to decide
where they need to invest their time and effort in using ETP funds for training.
CURRICULA DEVELOPMENT
For many companies, the most important training need is to improve employee skill-sets; thereby enabling their  
employees to work faster and smarter, not harder.  Faster & Smarter translates into real dollars saved for Contractors in
Labor and Parts.

That makes developing a training program which answers these needs critical to staying competitive in and out of
California.  We assist you in developing a training format that allows for maximum flexibility, enabling your curricula to
change over-time, as your employees learn and improve.  We integrate your training needs analysis into the grant
application, defining your need for training to the ETP authority.
TECHNICAL SKILLS TRAINING
American HVAC Training Centers has some of the best "Technical Skills" trainers and training partners for HVAC &
Building Maintenance related training in the United States.  All of our training is of the highest quality, customized from
industry best practices to fit your company's operating procedures and work policies.

We emphasize training in real-world application and encourage employees to participate in field OJT training
experiences.  We design training "Cue" worksheets to assist your employees in the field, as they go about their job
duties.  We also provide workshops to assist your Supervisors in becoming effective Instructors for training projects.  
Since our fees are received only after your re-imbursement funds are made by the State, our success is directly tied to
the success of your ETP program.
GRANT ADMINISTRATION
Approximately 50% of ETP applicants default during the administrative phase of their ETP grant.  Paperwork and
tracking needs, plus changing regulations and bureaucracy issues often cause companies to pull their training
programs, rather than finish the course.  American HVAC Training offers 100% success by administering your grant,
using our tracking software and compliance expertise.

We provide you with detailed status reports of your on-going training program.  We will even invoice the State for you to
ensure timely funds re-imbursement.  Our Administrative Fees are based upon a percentage of your re-imbursement
funds and never exceed the State's limits.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
The average company can save up to $117,000 annually by implementing a quality management system with a
continuous improvement program.  Your industry is consistently developing best practice standards for companies to
follow; systematic approaches to improving productivity, providing safe work environments, and motivating employees
to top performance levels.

Unfortunately few companies take advantage of performance improvement opportunities.  Most employers tend to think
of training as a business disruption - and only when safety issues or workplace accidents impact the organization, do
these employers realize the value of training.  That is where management consulting and leadership training is
invaluable to profitability.

We are available to consult with your organization.  If you have safety issues, performance problems, employee morale
issues, or you need to resolve customer satisfaction problems, call us today.  We can provide you with some tools to
identify the real "root cause" or your issues and together, find and fund solutions!
