Frequently Asked Questions

I’m interested in a few of your programs, how do I decide?
Great question! It’s totally normal to have multiple passions, but deciding which one to pursue as a career can be tricky. Good news! Our Program Advisors are standing by to help and can provide you withinsights into the programs you’re interested in and possible career outcomes. Better yet, your Advisor can set you up to Be a Student for a Day at CAT, so you can try out a few programs to see what feels right. To contact a Program Advisor, please call us at 1.866.860.2787 or fill out the form on this page!
Can I work part-time while I study at CAT?
We love to see this kind of drive in our students, and ultimately this decision is up to you and what you are capable of. However, it is worth noting that our programs do run at a fast pace and students often find that 100% focus is needed to succeed. With that said, many students do find a balance between school and work, so if a part-time job is a priority to you, please let our Scheduling department know. Minor adjustments to your schedule may be possible to allow more flexibility for work.
Can I visit the campus?
We’d love to have you stop by for a visit and if you’re interested our Program Advisors can even set you up to Be a Student for a Day!

What makes CAT different than other colleges?
What a great question and one we love to answer! While there are a number of things we believe make us stand apart from our competition, we’re going to give you our top answer. Students are so much more than a Student Number. We pride ourselves on the level of personalized service and guidance we provide to our students. When you become a CAT student you join a growing family of other students, alumni, staff and instructors that support and inspire each other. When you walk through the doors as a student, you’ll be greeted by name and feel you have arrived ‘somewhere you belong’. This support carries on well past graduation as well. As an Alumni, you’re always welcome back on campus and if you need a little more career or personal guidance, we’ve got you. We do all of this not because we have to, but because we WANT to. Our students are exceptional and inspirational to all of us at CAT, and we can’t wait to be a part of your journey! This mantra inspires everything we do at CAT, and we know you’ll feel the difference. Want to see for yourself? Book a campus tour today!
