Qualities/Abilities
At CCCTC our professionally reviewed programs are designed to run as close to industry standards as possible. This is REAL-LIFE. Students and parents should review the fundamental career Abilities/Qualities, of their selected program, to ensure that industry standards of quality, professionalism, and safety can be met. Please see program specific pages for a complete list of Abilities/Qualities as well as the list of skills students will be taught.
