Did you know that the NCI Training Bucks Program is one of the most valuable advantages of NCI membership? It gives contractor members an easy way to earn big discounts on future technical and business training.

At its core, NCI Bucks rewards members for investing in their ongoing education, making professional development more affordable and accessible.

As a member, you can earn Bucks in multiple ways by purchasing seats in NCI training classes, through monthly Bonus Bucks provided to Learning Excellence subscribers. They also earn Bucks by participating in the Training Incentive Partner Program (TIPP). Through TIPP, vendor partners deposit incentive dollars directly into members’ training accounts, allowing contractors to build a training fund simply by buying the products and equipment they already use.

The benefits increase quickly. You can apply NCI Bucks to any type of NCI training — live, online, onsite, or conference. Members retain full control over how much of their balance they want to use for each event.

NCI Bucks can significantly reduce or even eliminate out‑of‑pocket training costs.

For members committed to High‑Performance HVAC™, this program makes continuous improvement easier, affordable, and rewarding.
