While the sky’s the limit when it comes to choosing a career path, time is a very real limit for many of us. That’s why ChattState offers multiple programs + pathways that can make your career goals a reality in as little as three weeks:

Certification (3-9 weeks or up to 6 months)

ChattState has industry-recognized certifications in equipment, technology, business, and more that can help employers improve their workforce or help employees become more competitive by gaining career-advancing (or new-career) skills.

Diploma (less than a year)

Get into the job market fast with a diploma in a high-demand technical job (think: Medical Assisting, Automotive Technology, Aesthetics, Industrial Electricity, and so much more). Bonus: See if you qualify for the free tuition grant.

Degree (two years)

With over 90 programs to choose from, you can be career-ready in just two years (without excessive debt) — or transition to a four-year college by utilizing the Transfer Pathways.*
