Welcome!
I have always believed that technical colleges are not only in the education and training business, but also in the "changing lives" business. If you are ready to change your life, Lake Washington Technical College may be the place for you.

- Are you currently a high school student? Not only do we offer Running Start, we also have an on-site high school, the Lake Washington Technical Academy. You can finish high school and learn a trade!
- Have you just graduated from high school and not quite ready for the pressure of a four-year college? We offer both academic and technical classes, many of which can be transferred to a Washington State four-year university or college.
For nearly 60 years, Lake Washington Technical College has been serving the region with high-quality workforce education programs in high-demand fields. Our college features a "hands-on" learning environment, small class sizes and a friendly atmosphere.
Your goal is our goal. Visit our web site at www.lwtc.edu or talk to one of our advisers. I urge you to take that first step towards changing your life. You can do it.

Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with the on-the-job training supervised by a journey-level craft person or trade professional. Like a college education, it takes several years to become fully trained in the fields that offer apprenticeships.
The college contributes to a highly-trained workforce with more than 200 day and evening courses per quarter for professional and technical development and industry certification. Some classes meet evenings and weekends.
Get ahead of the game by taking a look at the Academic Class Plan. This is a list of classes offered throughout the academic year, organized by department.
Lake Washington Technical College awards an Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) for completion of a technical program of study. Certificates of Proficiency and Completion are awarded for completion of a program of specialized technical training.
