What programs does Elite Trade Institute offer?
We offer five career-focused programs: HVAC Technician, Electrical Technician, Plumbing Technician, Appliance Repair, and Building Facilities Maintenance. All programs are 100% online with VR simulations, self-paced, and can be completed in as little as a few weeks. Visit our Programs page to explore each one.
How much does training cost?
Tuition for our programs is $3,995 each — a fraction of the cost of traditional trade school programs, which typically range from $15,000 to $30,000. We offer payment plans, and many students qualify for WIOA funding that can cover the full cost of training. Contact us to discuss your options.
Do I need any prior experience or education?
No prior trade experience is required for any of our programs. They're designed for complete beginners. You'll need to be 18 or older, and a high school diploma or GED is recommended but not always required. Contact our enrollment team to discuss your specific situation.
How do I enroll?
Enrolling is simple. Fill out the contact form on this page, call us at (817) 391-9627, or request a free info pack on any program page. An enrollment advisor will walk you through the process, help you explore financial aid options, and get you started. We offer rolling admissions, so you can begin as soon as your enrollment is processed.
Can I attend classes while working a full-time job?
Absolutely. Our programs are 100% online and self-paced, meaning you can study whenever it fits your schedule — evenings, weekends, or during breaks. There are no set class times. You'll have 24/7 access to our learning platform with interactive modules and VR simulations.
What is WIOA and how do I qualify?
WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) is a federal program that can cover the full cost of your trade training. You may qualify if you're unemployed, underemployed, a veteran, receiving public assistance, or meet other criteria. Elite Trade Institute is ETPL-listed, which means we're pre-approved for WIOA funding in Texas. Visit our Financial Aid page or call us to find out if you're eligible.
