Sidney Said:

any technical / vocational school without reading skills?

We Answered:

No, absolutely none.

Better learn to read.

**Added**

I re-itterrate, no there are no colleges, or tech schools that do not require reading. If it hurts his head to read, then there is something wrong with his eyes, he needs to see the eye doctor, and if he can't find anything wrong, a neurologist.

The other option is to learn brail and study at a school for the blind.

How much does vocational or technical school cost?

We Answered:

It all depends on what you what to learn and where you want to learn it... If you want to be a carpenter then you could take the easy and smart way out and join a carpenter union and they will send you through a four year school for FREE or you could pay to go to ITT tech and learn the same thing but pay for it... It's all about what you want to learn and if your wanting to pay for it...

Craig Said:

what's taught at a technical vocational school?

We Answered:

It really depends... Gender usually plays a limited part. Girls were predominant in health occupations, guys were in shops like Industrial Electric, Auto Mechanics, and Carpentry. Equal were in business occupations, computers, drafting, commercial art...

As far as what's the most popular shop, there really wasn't one... My freshman year, we had "exploratory" shops, where we had 20 days in different shop classes to help us figure out what shop we would "major" in. You took what you were interested in, but almost any blue-collar shop was popular. For those where you were required to have your own license (plumbing, electric, HVAC, carpentry, etc.) the fact you attended a Vo-tech HS took off a year and a half from the licensing requirement, so instead of working as an apprentice for 5 yrs, you only had to do 3 1/2.

Difference: professional designation/certification vs trade, vocational, and technical school?

We Answered:

Apparently, there is little difference between a trade school and a vocational school. Although a technical school focuses on more modern arts, crafts, and skills for a longer period of time up to two years.

There are many trade schools in the US , offering a vocational training in a number of different trades and skills. Usually you attend a trade school when you are serving an apprenticeship or training in a specific trade, and at the end of your vocational program you will be awarded certificates in the specific skills that you have acquired.

A vocational school (or trade school or career school), providing vocational education, is a school in which students are taught the skills needed to perform a particular job. Traditionally, vocational schools have not existed to further education in the sense of liberal arts, but rather to teach only job-specific skills, and as such have been better considered to be institutions devoted to training, not education. That purely vocational focus began changing in the 1990s "toward a broader preparation that develops the academic" and technical skills of students, as well as the vocational.

Technical school is a general term used for two-year college which provide mostly employment-preparation skills for trained labor, such as welding, culinary arts and office management.
