Certificates
CVTC offers a wide variety of certificates to which you can apply anytime throughout the year with entrance exam requirements. While our certificates are not eligible for financial aid, you may find other payment options by checking out our grants, scholarships, Veterans benefits, and payment plan.

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.

The Records & Registration office maintains official student records and coordinates the registration process, monitors satisfactory academic progress, provides official transcripts, and verifies degree completion.

Credit for Prior Learning
We know that learning doesn’t only happen in the classroom. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) grants college credit toward an associate degree, technical diploma, or certificate for knowledge or skills you have gained that directly relate to your program.
Prior knowledge and skills may result from work or volunteer experiences, certifications, apprenticeships, military training, extensive self-instruction, or professional development.
Save money and accelerate your goals with Credit for Prior Learning! Contact us to learn if you are eligible.
Transfer Center
Transferring in credits from other learning environments is common at CVTC. You can transfer in credits from courses taken in high school, by taking an exam, or through apprenticeship training or work experience. Your credits can come from a variety of places, but at least 25% of them must be earned through graded coursework at CVTC.
