Why Trade School?
Trade school isn’t like your typical four-year college. Most programs take two years or less, so you can get on the path toward a career in less time.1
Forget sitting in lectures. You’ll get hands-on training in labs, learning real skills that employers actually want.18 From automotive to welding, diesel, HVACR and more, you’ll train for jobs that are in demand.
Find The Right Training Program
Graduate Sooner
Programs run 7–24 months, so you can be ready to work faster than with a four-year college.
