Our program can be tailored to suit the training and scheduling needs of military personnel.

The labs, lectures, and exams are given on off duty hours that will work for your schedule. We offer classes two mornings or evenings per week, we also offer a Saturday class. If your group has a minimum of ten students we can create a specific training schedule for your needs.

We are nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology which is recognized by the United States Department of Education and we have been serving the telecommunications and electronics industry since 1976.

In addition, at each of our locations, the instructor is available to help you successfully through the program. There is no additional cost to you for tutoring.

We understand the operational issues of the military take precedence over your personal time. Our program is flexible in that, if the absence is military related, it can be made-up. If you are absent of a personal reason, there is a small rescheduling charge.

If you get transferred to another location, in many cases, we have classes there. We also have other methods to assist you in successfully completing the program, including CD's for self-study.
