Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway

Durham Tech offers both certificate and diploma Pathways of Study within the CTE pathway. Students must meet program qualifications in order to enroll in CTE pathways. Students can use one or a combination of any of the approved standardized assessments to verify that they meet this requirement. Students who wish to qualify through a waiver recommendation must provide test scores that confirm course prerequisites are met. View more information on the CCP Eligibility web page.
