These programs are designed for those high school students who are ready for college-level work, want to get a start on their career training and want to receive both college hours and high school credit while attending high school. CPTC works closely with area high school counselors to plan appropriate educational experiences. Most career preparation programs are in session every month of the year except August. Starting times of classes and daily class schedules vary and are listed on the program pages in this Catalog.
Students usually attend classroom and laboratory sessions for six to eight hours each day.
With instructor approval, students may attend for three or more hours per day in selected programs. Information on skill upgrading and other part-time day and evening classes conducted by the College can be found in the latest Class Schedule. Students are encouraged to complete all of the following steps before proceeding to actual registration. High school students must complete high school services paperwork prior to beginning these steps. In most cases, orientations are held in the facility or classroom where the program is taught.
