People attend technical schools to get training for occupations that require a significant amount of manual labor. At Sacramento, the capital city of the state of California, students at technical schools gain skills to prepare them for opportunities in the medical, industrial, information technology and culinary fields.
Anthem College
A member of the college campus conglomerate Anthem Education Group, Anthem College has a location at Sacramento that was established in 1992. The Sacramento campus focuses on health care training, with the following associate degree programs: dental assistant, massage therapy, medical assistant, medical billing and coding, pharmacy technician and surgical technologist. To complete any of these programs, students need at least 40.3, 46, 31.5, 30.5, 35 and 57.1 credit hours, respectively.
Bryan College
Bryan College's Sacramento campus also focuses on training for health care professions. Three of its four programs are: advanced health and fitness training, advanced therapeutic massage and bodywork and health information management and coding. There is a court reporting program, however, for those interested in transcribing audio and producing transcripts of legal events such as court hearings or depositions.
Kaplan College
The Sacramento location of Kaplan College -- named after the education-focused corporation of which it is a subsidiary -- has about half of its programs in the health care sector. Students who wish to become dental assistants, medical assistants or medical office specialists can get their diplomas from Kaplan College Sacramento. The campus, however, also offers diplomas for aspiring computer support technicians and licensed vocational nurses, and an associate's degree in criminal justice.
Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts
Le Cordon Bleu, a hospitality education institution, has more than a dozen locations throughout the United States. Its Sacramento campus offers two certificate programs: the traditional Culinary Arts and the pastry-focused Pâtisserie and Baking. A less extensive study option is the "Chef's" series, a mixture of step-by-step demonstrations and hands-on training from the school's instructors that is particularly designed for food-lovers and enthusiasts.
