CITC classes are held in Clark, Franklin, King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Whitman, and Whatcom County locations.
At CITC we believe that every student has the right to a safe, clean, respectful, and healthy learning environment. Every student and instructor has the responsibility to uphold these policies. Instructors have the authority to send any student home for violating these policies.
The Construction Industry Training Council of Washington (CITC) is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation formed under the laws of the State of Washington.
CITC is accredited by: The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER)
CITC students use training manuals which are produced by the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER), affiliated with the University of Florida. The NCCER is a coalition of 34 construction trade associations and training groups. Over 600 training programs and colleges are “accredited” by the NCCER to provide the CONTREN curriculum nationwide.
The NCCER manuals are competency-based and require students to pass both written and performance tests. All CITC Instructors have completed the NCCER Instructor Certification Program. Transcripts showing all completed NCCER coursework are distributed to students at the end of each year. Upon completion of each NCCER module the student receives a certificate of completion. Upon completion of the entire series of manuals for a craft the student receives an NCCER diploma.
Students who use the NCCER curriculum are recognized by training programs and contractors nationwide and have the ability to transfer between training programs without losing any credit. For more information or to review the NCCER training manuals call the CITC office.
CITC is approved by: Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WSATC)
CITC is licensed by: Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board (WTECB) License #600.598.518
CITC is licensed under Chapter 28c.10 RCW; inquiries or complaints regarding this or any other private vocational school in Washington may be made to: Workforce Training & Education Coordinating Board, 128 10th Avenue SW, PO Box 43105, Olympia, WA 98504-3105, (360) 709-4600, or via email at pvsa@wtb.wa.gov.
CITC programs are open to the public. CITC encourages diversity and accepts applications from all minority populations. CITC does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability or the use of a trained guide dog or service animal by a person with a disability. CITC acknowledges that information pertaining to an applicant’s disability is personal and confidential. If the information is presented, CITC will reasonably attempt to provide accommodation to overcome the effects of the limitation of the qualified applicant. All inquiries about accommodations should be made to the Lead Office Administrator/Registrar upon registration into the program. Some programs may require medical documentation due to the rigors of the program. CITC operates under FERPA Statute 20 USC Section 1232 and regulation 34 CFR Part 99.
Student records will be maintained by the school for 50 years or until the school closes. If the school closes, whether voluntary or involuntary, educational records or transcripts will be forwarded to the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board. Upon graduation, each student will be given a copy of his or her transcript. These records should be maintained indefinitely by the student. Students may request copies by writing the school.
To withdraw from class, you must notify the CITC office of your intent to withdraw in writing. Your instructor cannot withdraw you from class. Refunds are determined by the last date of recorded attendance. If you stop attending and do not withdraw, you will receive a grade of F. Registered CITC students may call 1 (877) 707-2482 for assistance with the proper procedure.
A student dismissed due to failure to maintain the minimum passing grade will not be allowed to continue to the next quarter. Students may apply to CITC to resume class the following year. In cases where the student was dismissed due to unacceptable conduct, the student may have to meet with the Vice President of Education before re-entering the school. The decision of the Vice President of Education is final, and the student will receive a letter within five business days stating the decision.
Transfers are not permitted during a quarter. Requests must be submitted to CITC Registrar office prior to the start of the quarter. Requests will be review by CITC. The student will be notified within five business days.
In order to obtain a Certificate of Completion from CITC, students must successfully complete a minimum of the last nine quarters of a twelve-quarter program; last seven quarters of a nine-quarter program; or last 5 quarters of a 6 quarter program or challenge each year for the cost of one quarter tuition. If the student fails the challenge exam, the cost of challenge exam will be put towards the quarter’s tuition. To obtain a Certificate of Completion from CITC’s Heavy Equipment Operator or Construction Craft Laborer Program, a student must successfully complete all three levels.
In accordance with WA Senate Bill 5166, student absences at a postsecondary school for reasons of faith or conscience, or for an organized activity conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or religious organization, may be taken after written notice to the school. CITC will reasonably accommodate excused student absences due to observance of religious holidays.
CITC is licensed under Chapter 28C.10 RCW. Inquiries or complaints regarding this or any other private vocational school may be made to the WORKFORCE TRAINING AND EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD (WTECB) at 128-10th Avenue SW, Olympia WA 98504-3105, (360) 709-4600, email: workforce@wtb.wa.gov; website: www.wtb.wa.gov
Upon request, CITC will provide students who are not registered apprentices with a list of active contractors who support the school...
There are a limited number of scholarships and financial aid options available through CITC. Please contact 1 (877) 707-2482 for more information. CITC does not and will not provide any commission, bonus or other incentive payment, based directly or indirectly on success of procuring enrollment or financial aid to any persons or entities engaged in student recruiting or admission activities or in making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.
Veterans Administration benefits are available only to state-registered apprentices. If you are interested in applying for a CITC apprenticeship program, please call (877) 428-0442.
All classes cancelled due to inclement weather will be rescheduled and will be required to attend.
CITC instructors and students should first access the CITC webpage: www.citcwa.org, for current weather-related announcements.
When there is inclement weather, CITC follows the lead of School Districts or Colleges in the same area as CITC classes. Students should listen to the radio, watch the news or contact the schools listed below:
CITC will contact students regarding closures via text message and will post closures on our website www.citcwa.org. CITC will not call individual students to tell them classes are cancelled. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain cancellation information. If the student faces danger getting to school (icy roads, closed bridges, fallen trees) they can receive an excused absence - but must make up the work. Any cancelled classes must be rescheduled and made up. NOTE: For CITC students traveling over passes attend classes – students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. If the pass is closed, all assignments; including assigned projects, homework, and make-up work will need to be completed prior to the next class meeting.
In the event a student is performing at a passing level but does not complete all the requirements of a course during the scheduled quarter, a grade of Incomplete may be given. A student must complete and submit the missing work, as directed by the instructor, by 5PM on the Incomplete submission date as specified in the CITC Annual Calendar. If a student fails to complete the missing work by the deadline and/or fails to notify their instructor of updated test grades from re-tests, the Incomplete reverts to a grade of ‘F’.
Students will receive a grade report at the end of each quarter. At the beginning of each course the instructor will provide every student with the grading criteria for that course. The quality of a student’s performance in a course is recognized by a grade. CITC Instructors use the following grading scale: A = 100-90%; B = 89-80%; C = 79-70%; F = below 70%. (Note: The grade will also be influenced by attendance – see Attendance Requirements below.) Students must successfully complete the current quarter with a minimum score of 70% in order to advance to the next quarter. Students who fail to satisfactorily complete the course may re-enroll when the course is offered again.
CITC strives to provide all classes in an in-person format to best support student learning. However, to ensure student safety, some classes may incorporate a hybrid instructional format; with some theory classes being online. The inclusion of a hybrid class format will ensure student safety so that CITC is able to continue classes as scheduled in the event of school closures due to potential inclement weather.
CITC is dedicated to ensuring a productive, safe virtual classroom for all students and instructors. CITC students, instructors and staff represent a diverse community. Behaviors that do not support a respectful learning environment are not acceptable and will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from CITC. As a reminder, the CITC Facility Policies still applies to all students regardless of their physical location.
A limited number of CITC classes will be offered in a hybrid format. CITC’s hybrid courses are designed to provide students with a safe and convenient way to learn and complete their theory portion of the course. However, CITC’s hybrid courses maintain the same quality and rigor that can be found in our traditional classroom setting.
Students will need to have basic computer skills. Students are expected to be able to:
CITC students are expected to be an active participant in the course. Even though you may not see your classmates and instructor, courses are designed to include discussion and other forms of collaboration and communication. Students must be willing and ready to regularly communicate with classmates and instructors online and are expected to participate in weekly course activities. Students are expected to log into their scheduled course meetings weekly. Doing so will allow you participate in class activities, assignments, online discussions, and complete assessments. You are expected to complete all assignments, quizzes, tests, and any other activities by the due date.
Do not hesitate to ask questions. You are strongly encouraged to contact your instructor if you have course related questions regarding course concepts, assignments, and feedback provided to you. It is recommended that you contact your instructor well in advance of the due date. Also, your instructors have set aside specific times to be available for phone conferences or chat sessions if you need additional course-related support. When emailing questions to your instructor, refer to the course syllabus to review their policy on response time. Please note they may not be able to respond to every email immediately.
Managing your time is essential in any course. Successful students are very organized in their studies and take ownership of their own learning. A good approach is to set aside specific time each day to focus on your coursework and studies. Ideally, set that time to be the same time each day.
Setting a consistent, familiar study environment is just as essential as managing your time. If possible, find a well-lit setting that is free of distraction. Schedule your course studies around those times you have access to your distraction-free environment. You may find that you’ll make better use of your time.
Students are responsible for maintaining course files, which includes any files (papers, projects, assessments, presentations, etc.) that you create. In addition to keeping a digital copy of your file on your own personal computer, tablet, or external storage device, you should also make use of a cloud-based storage solution (e.g., Dropbox, box.net, OneDrive). If you lose or cannot locate a file, contact your course instructor to see if s/he is able to provide the file to you. Once a course is completed, neither CITC nor your instructor is responsible for providing you with lost course-related digital files, resources, or materials.
CITC will be utilizing NCCER’s online testing platform for all NCCER module exams. Students will be required to pass all NCCER module exams to be eligible for NCCER certification. CITC will follow all NCCER Remote Test Session Guidelines to ensure compliance. Students must have a computer or tablet with built-in camera/web cam and appropriate audio (through device or phone). No cell phones may be used for testing.
The use of personal electronic devices (PED’s) will become a central component of most classes at CITC. It is a requirement of CITC students to own a laptop or tablet computer with video, audio, camera, microphone, and wireless network access. A laptop or tablet computer is required as it allows students to use their device while they are on campus, between and during classes.
Students are required to have their own laptop or tablet computer on the first day of their scheduled class.
Students’ laptop or tablet computer should be used for e-texts, assignment completion, or taking notes during lecture; however, PED privileges will be revoked if students are using them for non-course-related reasons (e.g., news, social media, shopping). Cell phones may be used with the approval of the instructor. If there is an emergency and your phone must be on/visible, please inform the instructor of this at the beginning of class.
Cell phones and texting are distractions, and potentially unsafe, during class and lab time. Ringtones should be set to silent mode. If a student is told more than once to stop using a cell phone, he or she may be removed from class and considered an unexcused absence, which is subject to discipline.
CITC believes a student’s success depends on regular attendance. Students are expected to attend every class meeting (including Saturday labs and field trips when applicable). Each absence will result in a percentage deduction on the final grade each quarter.
Students must legibly print and sign CITC’s attendance sheet. A student may be marked absent if their name and/or signature is not legible.
Student grievances and complaints must be submitted in writing to the CITC office within 14 days of the occurrence. Grievances or complaints will first be addressed by CITC’s President or Vice President of Education. Appeals to any decision regarding the grievance may be made to the CITC Board of Trustees. The CITC Board has final authority on all issues pertaining to classroom training and administration. After a decision has been made by the CITC Board, if a student chooses to pursue the grievance further, a complaint may be made to the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board via mail at PO Box 43105, Olympia WA 98504; via phone at (360) 709-4600; or via email at pvsa@wtb.wa.gov.
Courses will be offered contingent upon enrollment and/or staffing. A minimum of 15 students must enroll in each course in each location to enable the course to be held. There will be a maximum of 40 students per non-lab class and a maximum of 25 students per lab class unless otherwise noted. Class size may vary as enrollment is based on classroom capacity.
A class may be canceled when insufficient enrollment occurs. You will be notified by phone three (3) days prior to the first class meeting if your class has been canceled. A full refund of all monies paid will be processed automatically. When we are not able to reach a student before the first class meeting we will post signs on the doors of the classroom. Under certain extenuating circumstances (inclement weather, instructor sick, etc.) classes may need to be rescheduled. These classes will be made up prior to the end of the quarter. Make-up class dates may occur on weeknights and Saturdays. CITC instructors will schedule make-up class times with students and inform CITC staff. CITC staff will inform students verbally, by email, and via text message blasts regarding any schedule make-up classes.
Safety is our first concern! CITC has developed a comprehensive plan for our facilities to ensure compliance with CDC, WA State, and local health guidelines. CITC will expect all staff, faculty, students, and visitors who enter a CITC facility to abide by these guidelines. All CITC staff and faculty have a responsibility to perform their work assignments with safe work practices and following all safety rules and procedures. CITC students have a responsibility to attend their classes, perform all hands-on labs and activities, and follow all safety rules and procedures.
CITC is taking precautions to help mitigate the spread of this virus. Janitorial vendors spend additional time disinfecting and wiping down high touch surfaces in all our training facilities. Surfaces such as: administration surfaces, keyboards, classroom tables, restrooms, doorknobs, etc.
COVID-19 issues that arise during the school year may require classes to temporarily change instructional format to comply with CDC, state, and Washington State Higher Education Guidelines. CITC is prepared to transition classroom-based instruction, for all students, to a temporary hybrid format; with theory classes being online and small in person labs scheduled at our facilities throughout the year if necessary. This temporary transition to a hybrid format will ensure CITC is able to ensure classes continue as scheduled in the event of mandated school closures.

Due to the threat of a COVID-19 variant leading to another quarantine and potential closure of schools, CITC is prepared to temporarily transition class instruction to a hybrid schedule if needed. If CITC is required to transition classes to a hybrid format all theory-based classes for apprenticeship and craft training students will be held in a virtual format until Governor Inslee’s office allows Higher Education programs to return to in person training. CITC will hold in person classes, maintaining all safety guidelines, for hands-on based learning and assessments. Hands-on based learning classes will continue as long as CITC can safely accommodate in person training to comply with any State and Federal COVID-19 safety requirements.
If you have not started training, you may cancel your enrollment with CITC by submitting a written notice of cancellation to the address shown on the enrollment agreement no later than midnight of the fifth day (excluding Sundays and holidays) following your signing the contract, or the written notice may be personally or otherwise delivered to the school within that time. In the event of dispute over timely notice, the burden to prove service rests on the sender.
CITC’s refund policy offers the maximum refund amount allowed by law. The refund amount will be based on the last date of recorded attendance. Some fees, such as late fees, NSF fees and/or interest charges are non-refundable.
The student’s official date of termination shall be the last date of recorded attendance when withdrawal occurs in any of the following manners:
• When CITC receives notice of the student’s cancellation of enrollment, or his/her intent to withdraw from class.
• When the student is terminated for a violation of a published school policy which provides for termination.
• When the student, without notice to CITC, fails to attend classes for 30 calendar days.
• When a student attending a class that meets in 1 week blocks or 1 month blocks misses 1 full week
1. You will receive a full refund of all monies paid if your enrollment is not accepted by CITC.
2. You will receive a full refund of all monies paid if you cancel your enrollment with CITC by submitting a written notice of cancellation no later than midnight of the fifth day (excluding Sundays and holidays) following your signing the contract. The written notice may be personally or otherwise delivered to the school within that time.
3. After five business days (excluding Sundays and holidays), the school may retain an established registration fee equal to: 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less. Registration fee refers to any fee, however named, covering those expenses incurred by an institution in processing student applications and establishing a student records system
1. If a student terminates during the first week or up to 10 percent of contracted instruction, whichever is less, the school may retain 10 percent of the tuition cost plus a registration fee (equal to 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less).
2. If a student terminates after the first week or 10 percent of instruction, whichever is less, but prior to completion of 25 percent of contracted time, the school may retain 25 percent of tuition costs plus registration fee (equal to 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less).
3. If a student terminates after completion of 25 percent but prior to completion of 50 percent of contracted instructional time, the school may retain 50 percent of tuition cost plus registration fee (equal to 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less).
4. If a student terminates after completion of 50 percent or more of contracted instructional time, the school may retain the full tuition cost plus registration fee (equal to 10 percent of the total tuition cost, or $100, whichever is less).
5. If the school discontinues instruction in any program after a student enters training, including circumstances where the school changes its location, students must be notified in writing of such events and are entitled to a prorated refund of all tuition and fees paid, unless comparable training is arranged for by the school and agreed upon, in writing, by the student. Students entitled to refunds must apply in writing to the school within 90 calendar days of the discontinuance or relocation, and any earned refund must be disbursed by the school within 30 calendar days after receipt of a request.
A student who fails to maintain satisfactory progress, violates safety regulations, interferes with other students’ work, is boisterous, vulgar or obscene, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or does not make timely tuition payment(s), is subject to immediate termination. CITC reserves the right to cancel a class if the number of students enrolling is deemed insufficient. Such cancellation will be considered a rejection by the school and the student is entitled to a full refund of all monies paid. The terminated student may follow the Grievance Procedures found on page 6.
Due to the threat of a COVID-19 variant leading to another quarantine and potential closure of schools, CITC is prepared to temporarily transition class instruction to a hybrid schedule if needed. If CITC is required to transition classes to a hybrid format all theory-based classes for apprenticeship and craft training students will be held in a virtual format until Governor Inslee’s office allows Higher Education programs to return to in person training.
CITC will hold in person classes, maintaining all safety guidelines, for hands-on based learning and assessments. Hands-on based learning classes will continue as long as CITC can safely accommodate in person training to comply with any State and Federal COVID-19 safety requirements
