There are many options to attend school and complete a career training program to help you obtain the skills you need to begin a healthcare career. You could select a larger university, try an online college option, or attend a smaller school. Each option will offer a different learning experience for students.
For many people, attending a smaller school can make a big difference in their success story, during their career training program, and after graduation. Keep reading to find out more, as we share the benefits of selecting a smaller school environment such as Boardman Training Center to get the training you need in preparation for your new career!
Small Class Sizes
One of the benefits of attending a smaller institution is the smaller class sizes. On average, there are fewer students in each class in a smaller school setting. Why does class size matter? Why are smaller class sizes better? Smaller class sizes mean there won’t be large lecture halls filled with hundreds of people just listening to the lecturer talk.
When you attend Boardman Training Center, you can expect to connect with your instructors and classmates, and you will not be just seen as another face in the crowd. Instead, people will know your name and get to know you on a more personal level.
Attending Boardman Training Center also gives students the advantage of developing hands-on skills that will benefit them as they begin their careers. The more practice you get with these hands-on skills, the more confident you will be as you enter the workforce.
Students who choose Boardman Training Center to train for a new career will also prepare to sit for industry-specific National Healthcareer Association (NHA)* certifications** while in their healthcare training program.
Personalized Attention
In addition to enjoying smaller classes, another great benefit of completing your career training at Boardman Training Center is getting personalized attention. This will help you do your best as you complete your program.
You could be in classes with hundreds of people in a large university setting. You could get minimal time to interact with your instructors because there isn’t enough time for professors to connect with every student. On the other hand, a smaller school setting, as the students’ experience at Boardman Training Center allows teachers more time for each student to receive the one-on-one interaction they need to excel in their classes. At a smaller school, teachers are also more available outside the classroom, so you will get direct assistance and help when needed.

You’ll be part of our BTC family, which engages you with personalized attention while helping you reach your career goals.
