Keep It Sharp!

Don is a gift to Denver. His style of instruction is unparalleled and he takes the time to know his students. It is impossible not to learn from Don. As a HVAC business owner, I can attest to the value of his classes in developing techs. He pours so much knowledge out in every single minute that your brain consumes and more importantly retains.I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Looking for a career in the hvac industry or already in the trade but want to learn more. This is the place ! Don makes it easy to learn what you need to know . Gives you a solid understanding or how things in the hvac world work. After going to supply house classes and then here it’s a night and day difference . Wouldn’t go anywhere else .

How Don Leonardi isn’t nationally recognized is a head scratcher. This guy can break down everything and all things HVAC related better than anyone. He also makes it easy to understand and most importantly; it sticks. It sticks because he is a great teacher and his methods are solid, he’s got a great sense of humor and he cares about the success of his students.If you want smart, sharp techs-look no further. As long as you’re willing to learn or your techs are willing to learn, Don Leonardi will lead them down a path of success.

Let me first off say, if you are debating Don Leonardis school vs a competitor, save yourself the trouble and go to Dons classes. I have been to competitors and they dont hold a candle to Leonardi HVAC. Don is a genuinely good guy first of all, but back that with his years and years of experience, coupled with a true care for the industry, this makes him the best teacher you could ask for. This isnt your standard lets read this page and go to the next page class. Don takes time to get the information to you and make sure you understand the meaning of it and makes sure you can see the real world application. Worth every penny! Will continue using these classes as there is no better teacher or nothing else out there like it!

Don is hands down a legend of the hvacr industry! Ive been to quite a few classes from Don and the way he provides information is no where compared to these parts houses. He truly has a passion for what he does and wants everyone to learn and be the best they can be. Not to mention Diane, shes Dons wife and is a terrific compliment to Don. Together they will do anything possible to help their students progress.

Enrolling myself into Don Leonardis HVAC School has been the best professional decision that I have ever made. Each week Don builds upon his lessons to create a strong foundation of HVAC knowledge. Don uses hands on equipment and hammers home HVAC theory to solidify key HVAC concepts while preparing students to pass NATE exams. Dons humor and many years of field experience make classes fun and interesting to attend even after a long work day. If I ever own my own HVAC company I will be sending every one of my technicians to Dons school to understand WHY we do what we do in the field and to make sure that everything is being done correctly. Thanks again Don!

I have been a student of Don’s for over 10 Years. Don has been my HVAC instructor and mentor and friend for those years and continues to be so! I also send all my guys here. There is no better place to be taught how to do HVAC correctly!! You will not find a better instructor who loves what he does and actually knows and can do what he teaches! If I could give Leonardi HVAC Training Center more than five stars I would! Don’t waste your money at other places, you only need one training center! LEONARDI’S!!!!!!

Don & Diane are some of the most passionate and selfless people Ive met. They have a true gift for teaching and leading that is contagious and inspiring.If youre planning on entering, or furthering yourself in the industry I would save your money with the large tech schools and supply houses. Youll get so much more with Don and Diane. The classroom environment is fun and you will build bonds with your classmates. Prepare for your mind to be blown!The best decision Ive made in my professional career has been attending their tech school and I will continue to attend their lectures and soak up all the knowledge I can!Thanks Don and Diane!Doop-Di-Doop

I have taken many classes with Don Leonardi, including my NATE classes and exams for Gas Heating, and Air Conditioning. There is no one better! I cant say enough good about Don, and Diane, and how they run their testing facility! Top notch, and way worth the wait to get into his classes! I just took my Manual J class on Friday, and learned so much! Thanks Don, and Dianne!

Review №26

“It’s not how long you’ve been in the industry it’s what you’ve done with your time.” Don’s words have resonated over and over again. Don and Diane were able to fit me into a course at the last minute, with family getting sick it was only a matter of time before I needed to move out of state. I needed a leg up fast!! The Leonardi HVAC training school prepared me within a year to be able to successfully handle many problems technicians face in the industry. Upon completion of the course I tested out on all of my Nate certifications as well as some additional hydronic‘s courses and troubleshooting courses as well. I recently landed a new job (which required an assessment of my knowledge and skills) closer to family and because of the training I received through the school they are starting me as a fourth year. Even though I’ve only got one year of experience as a service technician. The Leonardi HVAC school gives the students a 2 year course in about seven months. The intense and thought provoking classes force the students to think critically and weed out the disinformation that is so prevalent in our industry today. Don is excellent at keeping up with the most relevant and up-to-date information in our industry and molds his techs into self educators. Diane does an exceptional job of making and binding all the course material, coordinating tests, schedule changes and so much more. Thank you Don and Diane for being so dedicated! JE

Review №27

I am the education coordinator at my company and have had many of my employees attend MANY of Dons classes. Specifically tech school. They ALL cant say enough about how amazing Don is as an instructor. They all describe his passion for what hes teaching. They also mention that he will NOT let anyone out of class until they truly understand. Even if he has to spend extra time. His true passion is to ensure that all who attend his class GET IT! He is AMAZING! So is Diane in the office - ALWAYS very helpful and nice and has gone out of her way to get one of my guys in a sold out class. They are awesome! Anyone wanting a thorough, hands on, COMPLETE education, see Don. You will leave his class excited and ready to put what you learned to work!

Review №28

My Brother David Poole already wrote a review (we went to school together) and has said everything I would say about Don and his school. Bottom line is, Don taught me HVAC in a way that others cant. I went from thinking I knew HVAC, to knowing I didnt, and back to knowing it, all in 6 months. I took the class while working full time, working out 4 days a week, and helping out at my church and still was easily able to manage my studies. This is a class for the beginner trying to get into the field, the new guy whos trying to expand their knowledge, and the seasoned tech who thinks they know it all. to sum everything up, If you want a great education that you can afford go to Dons school or take any of his other classes, you wont regret it.Thanks for the knowledge Don!!!

Review №29

Did NATE classes at the local supply house. Although I did pass my Nate test, I walked out with little knowledge to do your everyday service calls. If I could turn back the clock, I would’ve spent the extra money to go through Don’s training. Finished a furnace troubleshooting class today with him, and had more fun and learned more in a day then 2 months at the supply house. Much more practical information, delivered in an easy to understand way, and more prepared to make myself and my company more money. That’s what’s it should be about. Period.

I cant say enough about my experience with Don and his classes. I had so many questions and so much to learn and Don is literally the reason I had the confidence to pursue an HVAC side to my business. I was definitely not the ideal student but Don has a way of teaching and sharing knowledge that makes the time go by quickly and the subject matter come to life. Don was always there to answer questions and troubleshoot actual situations. I fully understand now why Don and Leonardis is considered to be the BEST in the industry! I thank Don and Diane for a great experience and wouldnt even consider sending my employees anywhere else.

Don is incredibly passionate about the trade and his passion shows at his school.

Review №36

Don is great and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at his school. We covered a ton of material during our class and there was never a time when I was bored. That alone is amazing! Don has this special ability of making even the most technical explanation exciting. It is truly a gift that he has and combined with his encyclopedic knowledge of hvac makes for a fun environment where you can learn extremely quickly.In our class there was a huge range of experience. We had 10 year guys along with people like myself who were new to the industry. The way that the material was presented helped me catch the experienced guys. By the end of the class I could troubleshoot, communicate and work side by side with these more experienced guys.If you show up to class every night and study a little this class is a great investment.

There are many things that truly set Don apart from other training facilities. He genuinely cares for every student that comes into his class. He also takes the time necessary to make sure that all students understand the basics, which really develops even those who have been in the industry for a long time. I will continually choose Don for my technicians non O.J.T. training, as well as my own.

Five Stars isnt enough, Don and his wife Diane go above and beyond for their students providing the most comprehensive training classes available in Denver.

Don Leonardi is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. In his Tech school he will unlock a lot of mysteries and debunk every single myth in the HVAC field. If you go to the six month program you will be well equipped to troubleshoot, install and handle anything in residential and commercial Heating and Air. I have to say thank you to Don and his lovely wife Diane for so much help and encouragement during the last six months. It was challenging to say the least. But with Don and Dianes help my career has been furthered tremendously. Know the facts about your business, about our business, Train with Leonardi HVAC Training Center!

He truly cares for his students not just on a student basis but as a person as well. I look forward to continuing my HVACR knowledge with him with the classes that he provides.

Don has changed my whole outlook on this industry. I came in with very little confidence and little knowledge in this trade. In just 6 months I have hit the ground running and instead of dreading going to class, I cant wait till the next. If you want the fundamentals and know how in the HVAC industry...... This is the training for you.Don is a stand up guy and always finds a way to relate a subject to what you know. I have gone to many other training courses and no others even come close.

Review №74

THE BEST instructor in HVAC. I made the mistake of going with a $20,000 trade school, full-time for 9-months. I left knowing very little about the trade and feeling very disappointed in my lack of hands-on knowledge. Still I managed my way into an HVAC job.At the job I was told the best guy to go to for lessons was Don Leonardi. Everyone who was a technician swore by him and I quickly found out why. I learned more about furnaces in 2 days under him than several months at a trade school. I take any new class he offers in order to improve my own career and understanding of this trade.Anyone who is considering their options in regards to entering the HVAC field: Save yourself time and money, and in the process learn how to be a great technician in the field. Go with Don!

I completed Don Leonardis 6 month HVAC technician training program. Don is the best teacher I have ever had. He understands how to teach in a way that everyone can fully understand the concept of HVAC/R. It is a very dense class and only the people who truly want to be there will be the ones that make it to the end. If youre only there to beat your own chest or screw around, then dont waste his time, our time or yours.Don is a very personable, light hearted and caring instructor. He cares more about his students than anything else, and it shows. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from him and will continue to take every opportunity to learn from him as possible.

This program is awesome! I went in with some mechanical experience but none related to hvac. I came out passing my nate certifications! This program is comprehensive. Don does not waste your time or money. Every day of class you learn a ton. Don is funny and engaging. He explains things so they are very easy to understand. He is passionate about his students. Coming here is the beginning of a life long relationship of friendship and learning. I am so thankful that I did some research before signing for the first hvac program i found, which was about $17,000+ more than this one. Almost everyone in my class had wasted their time and money going to another school before coming to here. If you are having doubts just call them and go see the school and meet Don and Diane for yourself. The payments are easy to make and they will work with you any way they can. If you want a quality education this is the place to go.

Where do I even start. Don has a strong influence on the HVAC industry in Colorado. I cant go to a parts house without everyone knowing who he is, and complimenting his knowledge. In my opinion, Don is the best HVAC technician AND teacher around. Whether Your commercial, Residential, or Industrial Don not only has worked in the field, He also has the technical knowledge to bring everything in full circle.Before I got into HVAC I was a auto mechanic. I had gone to lincoln techs 2 year program and paid 30,000 dollars for my education. After a few years I realized it wasnt for me and got involved with HVAC. I decided I wanted to further my education, so I took Dons AC tune up class. It didnt take long for me to see how great of a teacher Don really is. I learned so much in the short time I had with Don. Without that class I would have struggled through the hot summer. I immediately Signed up to take his full 6 month course. It was arguably the best decision I ever made.For starters, The class is only $3,200 (10 times less than lincoln tech). Its very easy to realize that Don and Dianne are not in it for the money. They will work with you on payments, based on your specific needs. They truly care about this trade and helping technicians perform at their best. All this would mean nothing without a great teacher. Don has a edgy personality, along with a much needed intensity. This isnt your standard, watch a guy read slides type of school. There is energy within the classroom that keeps you interested. Don will have moments where a question is brought up that is off subject, yet in the mist of answering the question he will tie it into what he was just discussing. It was a much different experience then im used to. Lincoln tech was full of instructors that didnt have passion or knowledge anywhere near dons level. Instead of wanting to fall asleep, I would be wanting to stay late so we could keep going. Don invites a interactive learning experience. He wants involvement just as badly as you want knowledge. whether its yelling out SOURCE SWITCH LOAD RETURN or CAN I GET A YAY? YAY!!. Its the small things that made his program so enjoyable yet so helpful at the same time.I learned more about HVAC in 6 months then I did about automotive in 2 years, and it was at a tenth the price. Don truly offers a college level education, for the cost of a parts house class. I went into his school with little understanding and a lot of questions. I left with 2 NATE certifications, a EPA universal, soon to be master mechanical license, and a raise from my employer. Im confident when I go out on service calls because I know what to look for, how to test it, and what to expect. Dons teaching has laid the groundwork for my success in this trade, and I would never recommend you going anywhere else for your education in this field. I plan on taking all of the extra classes he has to offer here in the near future.

Don Leonardi is without question Colorado’s preeminent trainer for the mechanical contractor. Don has an unequaled passion for excellence and the knowledge required to improve your quality of install and upgrade repair service operations. Do you have technical problems with systems you install and find yourself unable to resolve equipment problems or customer comfort complaints? Does it cause you to lose customers, or put you in situations where you lose money by not getting the project, or after getting the work find yourself guessing at how to solve a problem? Would you like to be the one solving problems created by other contractors instead of being one of the many local contractors generating problems due to a lack of training despite whatever diploma you might have hanging on your wall? Are you a technician working for a company that seems unwilling to invest in their employees and you want to grow beyond your current position but you lack the skills to do so? Don’s NATE course will put you on the success track if you are willing to put in the effort. I strongly suggest you do what I did eight years ago when Don taught classes at Johnstone Supply before he started his own school - invest in yourself and your company. His training has only gotten better over the years. Get hands on education for electrical theory and troubleshooting, refrigeration and air conditioning system design and troubleshooting, gas furnace install and repair, airflow diagnostics, combustion analysis and Carbon monoxide safety, and hydronic systems, all for both both residential and commercial systems at Don’s training center and learn how to solve the problems that your competition will run from! I look forward to whatever else Don has in store for us.PS- you might notice as I have that Dons reviews are longer than the average for a online review. I can only tell you that Dons students tend to be incredibly grateful for the effort that has been put into his training programs and our enthusiasm shows here. All other local and many national training programs that I am aware of only offer the thin veneer of competency when judged against this training system. After finishing your tech school course you too are likely to find yourself writing a review like mine. This training is the single best purchase Ive ever made in 20 years of HVAC work.

Don takes great pride in his trade( HVACR ) & in turn the priceless education that must come with it. Don never candy coats anything & nor should he. We ( students ) will succeed in the HVACR industry if we follow his training. He always made sure everyone was on the same page before advancing further into the course & absolutely never refused to stop & continue discussing whatever subject matter needed further review! Hes a terrific teacher & unbelievable scholar. The haters will always hate no matter what goes on but theyre usually the same folks not willing to do what it takes to do the right thing in our craft and not cut corners. Do yourself and the whole industry a favor and let this school show you how it should be done!

I am just completing Dons 6 month Tech Training class...i have to say Don Leonardi has been an excellent teacher. I start with 0 knowledge about the HVAC trade and with Dons help guidance and teaching I have gotten a superb education. I have already landed a full time Tech position and the skills to diagnose A/C problems and properly repair them. I had many choices for Tech schools and asked many hvac pros which school to attend and all of them said Leonardis is the best school for your money. Thanks Don and Diane for my New Career!!! Brian
