COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
As established professionals, career school teachers are knowledgeable about their respective
specialties. As first-time instructors, their concern, therefore, is not with what to teach, but how to teach it.
To meet this need, the Coalition of New York State Career Schools, and its predecessor organizations, have provided Teacher
Training to licensed and registered career schools for more than twenty-five years. All courses are approved by the
New York State Education Department to meet Private Trade and Registered Business School Teacher License Requirements.
