Ohio’s College Credit Plus (CCP) can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course from a public college or university College Credit Plus is free. That means no cost for tuition, books or fees. If you choose to attend a private college or university, you may have limited costs. The Trumbull Career & Technical Center has partnered with Eastern Gateway Community College to offer students the ability to earn up to 48 semester hours for free through CCP courses taught at TCTC. 

Industry-recognized credentials and certifications are embedded into our programs. For a student to be eligible to take their certification tests and have the test paid for by the board, they must have an “A or B” in lab and theory (if applicable), a 90% attendance rate, and the recommendation of their lab teacher. All program fees must be paid. In addition, students who complete the second year of their two year program with passing grades in all courses and all academic classes and who obtain 90% attendance for the two years (no more than 30 days of unauthorized absences) will receive a TCTC certificate of completion.
