The Training Center is Now Open!

The Corken Steel Training Center is now officially open! Two years in the making, our state-of-the-art training facility was designed to supply our customers with all the resources needed for a unique and successful training experience. With 6,000 sq ft of educational space, contractors can enjoy many opportunities to learn the many facets of the industry. "As I reflect on everything that is taking place in the HVACR industry, my one thought is that our industry is becoming even more crazy complicated. The good news about this is that our customers will need our help and guidance more than ever. How fortunate for us all, and what great timing it is to be opening our incredible new training center. Good for us and our faithful and loyal customers and vendors. We are going to need each other more than ever, and the opportunities for success are endless." - Jeff Corken, President of The Corken Steel Products Company JOHN OGLE TECHNICAL LAB Lovingly known as “The Ogletorium,” this 3,000 sq ft training room is equipped with live HVAC equipment for contractors to learn technical skills in a hands-on environment. Each of the HVAC disciplines are represented within the space, so participants can learn on geothermal, hydronic, ductless/mini split and residential equipment. The equipment showcased in the training room is the same high quality HVAC equipment sold by Corken Steel. With great passion, our TSA instructors are eager to teach and continue to share the knowledge of the industry. EDDIE NEVILLE BUSINESS SUITE Dedicated to one of Corken’s “honorary founders,” this room features plenty of comfortable seating and workspace, a projector, as well as our “mini HVAC museum” featuring HVAC memorabilia from over the years. Contractors can enjoy learning HVAC theory, business topics, and other essential skills in a state-of-the-art classroom from national speakers, vendor trainers, and Corken TSAs. The Corken Steel Training Center is located at our headquarters in Florence, Kentucky. Check out our Training Portal for upcoming classes. TRAINING REQUESTS Help us help you!
