Step 3:
Complete Entrance Requirements

Most of our programs have open access (meaning no entrance exams or scores are required to enter the program). There are other programs which have an academic range which applicants must meet. Please review your program admission requirements to determine if you meet the academic requirements for admission to the program.

Before enrolling at CVTC, we recommend every student take the Inventory for Student Success (ISS). The ISS is a free, web-based questionnaire that gauges your confidence and attitude regarding your ability to do well at CVTC. Your answers help us better support you and your success at CVTC. Answers or results from the ISS will not affect your admission to CVTC.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships give you access to careers that are typically unavailable to those without experience, and build skills that are transferable from one employer to another and from one area of the country to another. They combine structured on-the-job training with related classroom instruction.
