Health and Public Safety Online Orientations

Welcome to Western Technical College! We take pride in offering you a health or public safety program that will provide you with the essential experiences that make you highly sought after by employers.

As part of the admission process for programs, students are required to review orientation material for the program. We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to receive this inFormation in a manner that fits your busy schedule. Simply click on the program that you are interested in and you will learn more about the program and profession. As you view the inFormation, pay particular attention to the admission criteria for the program, noting that there are Forms that you will need to print out, complete, and submit by a deadline.

The job market for health and public safety programs is strong. As a result, the number of students who wish to enter a program generally exceeds the number of students that the program has room for. As you view the inFormation, pay particular attention to the date that all admission material is due. It is to your advantage to submit your admission materials as soon as possible. In the event that you are not accepted to start the program as soon as you had hoped we strongly encourage you to consider enrolling in the general studies courses as you are waiting to get in.

Again, thank you for your interest. We look forward to working with you at Western Technical College!
