  Technical training schools focus on jobs that don't require a significantly formal education or degree but do require extensive training and a license. Curriculum in the program is designed to the trade it focuses on. In other words, you will not need to take four courses of college level algebra unless the trade or industry of interest requires it. Sometimes you can get hired at a business that will pay your tuition. However, that has become more of a privilege nowadays. Often, technical training takes one to two years to complete, depending on the school, its curriculum and your previous experience.
