Frequently Asked Questions

Moore Norman Technology Center is one of 29 technical schools in Oklahoma. Our programs prepare high school and adult students for a career through a technical education. These programs often lead to industry certifications, which can get you to work quickly, and can also be a stepping stone to a college degree program.

All MNTC career programs require an application for admission.

MNTC is a part of the Oklahoma CareerTech system, and our focus is on career and technical training. Students can complete our programs much faster than the traditional college route, and students can specialize and become certified in career and industry areas unavailable through other education settings. Most MNTC students have the opportunity to work toward earning industry certifications, which puts them at an advantage when applying for jobs in today’s workforce. MNTC students have a 95 percent positive-placement rate, which means our graduates are continually hired for jobs that are directly related to their MNTC training. High school students have the added benefit of earning two (2) or three (3) elective course credits on their transcripts for their MNTC program.

High school students may attend in a three-hour block in the morning or afternoon. After graduation, they can attend full- or part-time to complete a program, or can start a new program as an adult student.

High school students who attend public, private, or home school in Moore, Norman, or south Oklahoma City area do not pay tuition costs for full time programs. There may be minimal supply costs or transportation requirements in some programs. Make sure to ask your MNTC Tech Rep at your high school about specific costs or transportation details before enrollment.

MNTC is a school of choice, and our career programs are competitive. High school juniors and seniors from Norman and Moore Public Schools fill out applications for our programs each year, but with limited class sizes, seating every applicant is a challenge. Because of this, it's important to know that not every student who applies is accepted, even if they meet the qualifications. Testing for reading and math skills may also be required, based on program requirements.
