TECA Quality First™ $200 Training Subsidy Available to New Students†

The LiveSmart BC: Efficiency Incentive Program, which is administered and funded through a partnership between the Ministry of Energy, BC Hydro Power Smart, and FortisBC, is pleased to offer a $200 subsidy toward the registration cost for new participants in the Quality First™ Forced Air Guidelines, Hydronics Design and Ventilation courses. The LiveSmart BC program and the partner utility companies understand the importance of advancing installation expertise for energy efficient HVAC systems in BC.

The subsidy is being offered on a first come, first served basis, and will be available to at least 100 registrants. The subsidy is part of a larger initiative by the utility partners and LiveSmart BC to work with contractors and their professional organizations to provide training, information and assistance to make their jobs easier and help them prosper in the growing green economy.

LiveSmart BC is a partnership between the Province of BC’s Energy Efficiency Branch, BC Hydro’s PowerSmart and FortisBC programs.

Due to funding parameters, the subsidized spots will be divided on a per capita basis around the province to ensure equal access. Note that the subsidy is for NEW students ONLY. Renewals and expiries are not eligible to access this subsidy.

Subsidy is available for contractors taking Quality First training on Vancouver Island and the Okanagan region of British Columbia.  Please register at the full price and the subsidy will be deducted on our end. You will receive an e-mail from the TECA office with respect to confirmation of this.

The subsidy for the Lower Mainland has been fully utilized.
