IHS is excited to launch FLOW University, a new tuition-based Master Training program offering world-class instruction from its state-of-the-art Training Theater, located in beautiful Salt Lake City, UT.
Covering the spectrum of mechanical systems, courses will delve into theory, hard science & practical application. Each class is structured as an immersive hands-on exploration of HVAC & Hydronic Systems, offering unparalleled in-depth practical training on live equipment. Additionally, all attendees will have the opportunity to earn IHS Master Certification.
Lab / Facility
Training and certification occur in our state-of-the-art Training Theater. We offer open-admission training courses available to the public. We also offer private training in coordination with organizations to train and certify their people. Our facility can handle large groups, up to 150 students, or we can focus on a small number of students for direct, hands-on equipment fluency.
One of the few educational classrooms with functioning hydronic systems, our facility showcases full heating loops with live-fire boilers, pumps, chillers, and cooling towers. Later this year, we will launch our new Steam training system. Our facility features various piping configurations allowing students to directly experience the pros and cons of different piping strategies, flue arrangements, valve configurations, tank placements, condensate handling, and heat rejection scenarios.
Our curriculum focuses on the design, installation, start-up, operation, maintenance, repair, and the full life cycle of boilers, pumps, chillers, fan-coils, and cooling towers. Our Boiler Equipment Lab has different styles of boilers from different manufacturers, where students learn the operational practices of running a commercial/industrial boiler system.
All students receive copies of class curriculum and training reference—resources that are reinforced by guided direct interaction on live equipment by master instructors. This valuable education model of theory + instruction + hands-on learning results in concepts and knowledge that are not forgotten.
Certification
Want to increase your marketable skillset? Do you need greater exposure to potential customers or future employers? Certifications from Flow University are exactly what you need.
We have been offering system training for over a decade. After receiving training, building operators frequently ask us where they can find good job candidates or qualified contractors who possess the knowledge and skills taught in our classes. This is the true value of receiving Flow University certifications. It communicates to the world that you and/or your organization have passed our rigorous standards and carry our endorsement. When asked who we recommend, we gladly pass along our list of certified experts.
Get certified and watch your success accelerate.
Location
Our training facility is located in the center of the picturesque Salt Lake valley. Surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Wasatch Mountain range, our students learn commercial heating/cooling systems. Spend a day in class and then follow it up by another day on the highest rated ski slopes on the planet. Travel to Salt Lake City for our certification courses and then stick around for our alpine recreation or red-rock adventuring.
Located just 10 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport, our facility is surrounded by world-class accommodations and dining. Just because you’re studying during the day, doesn’t mean you can’t be savoring the evenings.
Trying to stay on a budget? Salt Lake City offers public light rail transportation from the airport to our building where affordable hotels and restaurants are in the neighborhood.
We assure you that your stay will be unforgettable and look forward to welcoming you to our next class!
