Take The Next Step Towards Your New Career

The Office of Admissions’ job is to help start you on your new career path. Because the idea of going to a trade or technical school can seem scary, the admissions team is here to guide you.

This is your story, we’re just here to help you find the happy ending.

Admissions Requirements

#1. High School Diploma or GED

Applicants must possess a high school diploma or GED.

For some courses, students may be admitted if they can pass an assessment test. Furthermore, students must show the ability to find work after the program ends.

For more information on getting a GED, please go to www.acenet.edu. Then, select GED Testing Services. Or, contact our Admissions Office.

Foreign diplomas and transcripts

Applicants that have a foreign equivalency of a United States high school diploma and meet the School’s admissions requirements may be accepted to Northeast Technical Institute.

The School reserves the right to require a certified official English translation if the language used in the documents is not English. Documents that do not have the requisite seals and apostilles on the original foreign high school documentation may opt to obtain an official evaluation of their credentials from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member organization.

The list of member organizations may be found at www.naces.org. Applicants must present this official evaluation prior to the program start date. Northeast Technical Institute reserves the right to require NACES evaluations for any transcripts in which we are unable to verify the authenticity or legitimacy of the documents provided.

#2. Admissions Interview

Admissions interviews offer a way to personalize the application beyond what is in the form.

Because interview availability is limited, applicants should make an appointment as early as possible.

Only one interview is conducted for each applicant.

Admissions Process

Step 1: Visit Your Local Campus

Visit your local NTI campus and get a first-person view of where you’ll be learning. During the visit, you can sit in on classes (subject to availability). Appointments are necessary.

You can also schedule an appointment by calling (800) 447-1151 between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. Class visits may be made Monday through Friday (holidays excluded).

Step 2: Admissions Interview

An Admissions Representative will guide you through the enrollment process. They’ll answer all your questions and make sure you understand what you’re signing up for.

Classes and programs fill up fast, so make sure to schedule your interview once you are ready to secure your seat.

Step 3: Financial Aid and program payment

During your admissions interview, a Financial Aid representative will lay out all of your payment options. You’ll learn about FAFSA, student loans, and the GI Bill® (for those who qualify).

The first step to getting financial aid is to complete your FAFSA. Once that’s done, we can better determine the financial aid package that is best for you.

FAFSA School Code: 041851
