The Bristol Technical Education Center, or Bristol TEC, is a technical school located in Bristol, Connecticut. It is part of the Connecticut Technical High School System. Bristol TEC receives students from many nearby towns.[2]
Unlike other Connecticut technical high schools, students attending Bristol TEC during high school also retain enrollment in their sending schools.[1][3] If attending Bristol TEC during their senior year, students receive a diploma from their sending school and a training certificate from Bristol TEC.[3]
Bristol TEC offers trade certificates in six technology areas: Automotive Technology, Culinary Arts, Electronics, HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration), Manufacturing, and Welding/Metal Fabrication.[4] Students can also earn high school credits in English, math, and social studies. Students may be hired into entry-level positions while still in school via the Work-Based Learning program.[5]
Bristol Technical Education Center is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council on Occupational Education (COE).[6] Students applying to attend must complete an application found on the school's website, participate in a day of shadowing in their area of interest, and interview. Applicants are reviewed and notified of acceptance in April for the following school year.
