Dental Assisting Program
Applicants must be the age of 18 within 90 days of starting the program.
Massage Therapy Program
In addition to meeting with an Admissions Representative, all applicants for the Massage Therapy program are also required to have an interview with the Campus President and/or the Massage Therapy Program Chair prior to being accepted in the program. The second interview is required so that the Institution’s representative can review the unique nature of Massage Therapy training as well as the physical requirement of the program. Specifically, the interview addresses issues such as the applicant understanding that he or she will be performing massage on unclothed students and clients. Further, the meeting is to address any concerns that students may have regarding working with other students or clients who are openly gay, lesbian, or trans-gender. Additionally, applicants are asked how they feel about working on the same or opposite gender students/clients as well as other questions relating to their general understanding of the profession. Applicants must be 18 years of age to enroll in the Massage Therapy program.
Applicants to the Massage Therapy program should note that a history of criminal convictions may prevent the student from attending or completing the clinical requirements of the program or may prevent her/his licensure by the State Board. If there are any questions regarding this process, the applicant should make an appointment with the Director of Education. Students must report to the Director of Education in writing, any change in their criminal background or current status within 24 hours of occurrence (includes new citations and/or charges regardless of the pending or final adjudication). Students who fail to report any new citation or charge may be dismissed from the program.
Pharmacy Technician Program
Applicants must submit to and pass a criminal background check administered by the school prior to starting the program or being readmitted following a withdrawal period of 90 days or more. The conviction for certain criminal offenses may bar an applicant from participating in certain externship training experiences, eligibility to acquire professional certification/licensure required to function in the career field and obtaining employment. Any adverse results, to include but not limited to, any felony or misdemeanor identified on an applicant’s background report may prevent the applicant’s completion of the program, acceptance to externship/clinical training facilities, achievement of professional certification/licensure, and attainment of employment in a particular field.
Any candidate who has an adverse result on his/her background report is encouraged to seek approval from the certifying bodies of any applicable program to establish eligibility for certification/licensure and employment in that specific field. If an applicant with an adverse occurrence on his/her background chooses to participate in a program that requires a clear background for admission to externship/clinical sites, eligibility to acquire professional certification/licensure required for employment in specific career field and obtaining employment, he/she will be required to sign a disclosure document accepting full responsibility for any and all costs associated with attending the career program and does not hold the institution and its associates liable for being denied program completion, entrance to any and all externship/clinical training facilities necessary for the completion of the program, ability to achieve certification/licensure, or gain employment in the field of study.
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board's (PTCB) eligibility requirements for a candidate to take the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Examination are as follows:
- No felony conviction.
