Tech Prep leads from high school to technical training, college degrees, and high-demand careers.

High school students may register to complete approved Tech Prep courses at their high schools, which allow them the opportunity to earn North Idaho College credit and move from high school to NIC without having to repeat Tech Prep courses.

Tech Prep Savings

A total of 208 Region I high school students took 851 North Idaho College credits through Tech Prep during the 2006-2007 academic year. Without the discounted $10 per credit Tech Prep students pay, those 208 students would have paid a total of $106,753 compared to the total of $2,080 they actually paid. That’s a savings of $98,243.

College Ready?

Are you ready for college-level classes? Did you know that you can meet state graduation requirements and pass your ISATs, but still not be college ready? Find out if remedial college classes are in your future. High school juniors may take the Compass test to identify strengths and weaknesses. Make the most out of your high school career and don't waste time in college taking high school-level classes that don't count toward your program major. Use your Compass test results when planning your senior schedule so you can work on your skills in high school while your classes are free. Review the sample items below and take the Compass test for FREE. See your counselor for more details.
