The basic training offered at the CTC will enable a student to gain an entry-level position as a chair side assistant, office receptionist or laboratory assistant. Most laboratory technicians will require additional training either on the job or at a formal training institute. Many students choose to continue their education at a two or four-year university, community college or technical institute. We have an agreement with Sinclair Community College for articulated college credit.
