WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I APPLY?
1. Meet with TEC:
After you submit your application, TEC will contact you to schedule an in-person admissions interview. We’ll discuss your goals, review program expectations and scheduling requirements, and answer your questions. A facility tour may be included.
2. Complete your background check:
If selected to proceed after the interview, you’ll receive instructions to personally request a criminal background check through the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and provide the report to TEC. TEC coordinates the referral and pays the screening fee. The check uses State of Georgia criminal-history records.
3. Receive your admission decision:
TEC reviews your application, interview, and background-check results individually. A criminal history does not automatically disqualify you. Applying, joining the Guild, or being selected for a background check does not guarantee admission.
4. Complete enrollment:
If accepted, you’ll complete the required agreements, uploads, enrollment-related payments, and program-cost payment arrangement in the TEC Portal before the first session.
TEC Guild members may receive access to member-only resources, industry connections, job postings, and notices of training opportunities. Some training programs, events, or classes may require separate registration, eligibility review, fees, and agreements.
