Vocational Schools / Technical Colleges in Colorado
Courses / Programs
Are you searching for a quality trade school or vocational college in Colorado? Learn a trade or earn a respected certification and take the first steps towards a new career!
Attending a technical school is often a smart choice. The high cost of a traditional four-year college degree combined with a competitive job market may leave graduates with massive debt and no job to repay it.
There are many skilled trades in which work is readily available, such as HVAC Refrigeration Technician, Electrician, Automotive Technician, CNC Machine Operator and many more.
Instead of focusing on a wide range of academic subjects, you focus on career-specific instruction, often within small classes which allows for excellent teacher-student interaction.
Your training is often practical, ideal for those who prefer hands-on learning!
Depending on your area of study, you may be certified in as little as 6-10 weeks, and certainly no longer than 2-3 years.
