Council on Occupational Education (COE)
Locklin Technical College is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education.
Technical colleges prepare students for careers in specific skilled trades, applied sciences and technologies. Those who earn a certificate, go on to work in a variety of fields such as construction, automotive technology, nursing, massage therapy and information technology. As a student at a technical college, you will only take classes that are relevant to your chosen career path and gain hands-on training in an environment similar to a workplace. Technical colleges are singularly focused on preparing students for jobs in the real world and will often assist in job placement.
Accreditation is the recognition from an accrediting agency that an institution maintains a certain level of educational standards. It helps employers determine the validity of programs of study and whether a graduate is qualified. Employers often require evidence that applicants have received a degree from an accredited school or program.
