The IST Center is not a typical classroom setting. The training is individualized for each student. One-on-one instruction is offered to students with a full-time instructor on-site during operating hours. There is no regular academic calendar or set class time. Students are self-paced and may come and go at their own convenience during the full-time instructor’s hours. The instructor provides the curriculum data individually for each student as needed.

Students Progress at Their Own Pace

Study and complete lab assignments at your own pace. These classes combine online learning with hands-on, relevant lab training and assessments in our leading edge IST lab.  This allows students to schedule their studies at their convenience, accommodating busy working adults. Open Entry—Open Exit flexibility is featured in the program.
