EXPLORE CENTRAL TECH CLASSES

Central Tech offers two types of classes. Full-time and Short-term.

Our students appreciate Central Tech’s inviting atmosphere, close proximity to home, and low-cost advantage. If cost is an issue, check out scholarships and tuition waivers.

FULL-TIME

Full-time classes typically follow the traditional class schedule of August-May. High school students attend half a day and tuition-free. Adults can attend morning, afternoon, or all day.

Schedule
8:25a-11:15a & 12:45p-3:35p 

SHORT-TERM

The majority of Adult Career Development (ACD) classes can be completed in eight weeks or less and are offered during the weekdays, evenings, and occasionally on weekends to meet your busy lifestyle. 

Short‑Term

Central Tech is launching the Explorer Program in partnership with Mannford and Ripley public schools. This class introduces students to a wide range of career options early on, helping them make informed decisions about their academic and career paths.

We are Central Tech.
