What is a Trade School

A trade school is a post-secondary educational institution. It provides hands-on training for specific work. Trade schools designed trade programs to teach students technical skills. These trade programs prepare them for actual work in their chosen field. 

Trade school programs have the shortest programs compared to other post-secondary educational programs. Trade school programs focus only on relevant job training, unlike universities. Depending on the program, students can get their degrees within six months to two years.

Students who finish their chosen program will receive the relevant industry certification. They may also enter into the workforce immediately after graduation most of the time. Others may have to study further for a licensure exam. Some of the occupations that may need a license are CNA and CDL.

You may enroll in trade schools if you are interested in becoming a:

Certified Nursing Assistant

Medical Assistant

Licensed Commercial Truck Driver

Plumber

IT Technician

Automotive Technician

HVAC Technician

Electrician

Hair Stylist

Cosmetologist

And a lot more!

How long is trade school? 

Your time in trade school depends on the program and school you choose. You can complete trade programs in six months; others may take over a year or two. Other factors could be student progress, program complexity, and school schedule.

How much does trade school cost?

Trade school program costs vary depending on the program, the school, and the location. Tuition is one of many things to keep in mind. Books, supplies, and your living expenses are factors to consider.

‍

Tuition

Tuition costs differ, too, depending on the type of trade school offering the programs. Trade schools can be public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit. Students complete their trade programs for two years or less generally. 

Here is the tuition comparison depending on the type of institution based on U.S. Department of Education's College Affordability and Transparency List for the years 2020 – 2021:

2-year, public – $3,863

2-year, private not-for-profit – $15,549

2-year, private for-profit – $​​15,033

Less than 2-year, public – $8,683

Less than 2-year, private not-for-profit – $13,127

Less than 2-year, private for-profit – $15,636

Books and Supplies

Other expenses to consider are books and supplies. Some schools and programs include books and supplies in tuition fees, while others do not. These costs vary depending on the programs, the schools, and locations. 

The average cost for books and supplies is $1,460 for 2022-2023 as estimated by College Board. 

‍

Other Expenses

Living expenses are another thing to account for. Living with family members while studying may reduce your rental and food costs. In contrast, those who live independently may need to set more budget for rental and food expenses. 

The overall estimated cost of trade school, inclusive of tuition fees, books and supplies, boarding, and other expenses, according to the National Center for Education Statistics:

‍

2-year, public, on campus: $15,900

2-year, public, off campus, living with family: $9,700

2-year, public, off campus, not living with family: $19,600

‍

With SD cards and rechargeable batteries purchased through Donors Choose campaigns, some of our NRM students learned to and practiced setting up camera traps.  These infrared-triggered cameras are often used by wildlife biologists to collect data about wildlife populations.  There are a few important points to properly setting a camera trap.  The photographs captured suggest that they got it right.  

Unlike biologists, camera traps can work continuously in remote areas for weeks on end.  These cameras were set at the Smith Farm property with our friends at Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust.
