We offer competency-based training; there are no fixed "semesters". An Academic Year is a period of not less than 30 weeks of instructional time with a minimum of 900 clock hours of instruction for a full time student.

Clock Hours are 50 to 60 minutes of supervised instruction during a 60-minute period

Students train at their own pace in a highly individualized, non-competitive environment, with over 60% of the training conducted in a hands-on environment.

An intensive program — students attend year-round, 4 - 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for an average of 7 months.

Classes are conducted for small groups of students which reinforces the individualized training focus; a critical element in the contextual learning mode.

Students are confident in their abilities, while employers are assured quality workers.

Supplemental Service

CET's unique holistic approach to educational job training offers students a variety of supplemental services (Some services require an eligibility process).
