Admission to TTC is easy. If you are at least 18 years of age and have a career goal, then you'll fit our formula for success. Completing an application and attending a pre-enrollment session are the first steps. If you haven't decided on a specific career, we'll be glad to help. Counselors and faculty are on hand to discuss your career opportunities.

   We have courses for you if you already have a job. Maybe you need more training for that promotion. Or, if you're ready for a career change, we can help you start over. Hands-on experience in the classroom and qualified instructors are valuable parts of our success formula.

   Day students are enrolled throughout the year as openings occur. The Practical Nursing class starts September 5th. The Surgical Technology class starts May 1st. Night school students enroll only at the beginning of each quarter. Special contract classes may be organized at any time.

   Just think, in many cases, this time next year you could be working in that new career. Our placement rates are high because you are well trained and know how to sell yourself. We offer sessions in writing professional resumes and in conducting impressive job interviews. It's all part of the success formula.

   Even though our students are graduated throughout the year, they are invited to participate in graduation ceremonies held each March and September. This time of celebration gives family and friends an opportunity to celebrate your success with you.
