NORTHWEST TECHNICAL INSTITUTE in Springdale is the only
career and technical school in the state and has served Northwest
Arkansas since 1975 with quality training. NTI’s mission is to change
lives through education, training and skills development.
NTI offers many skill development pathways if you’re interested in a
career in the skilled trades, including electronics technology, ammo-
nia refrigeration technology, welding technology, diesel and truck
technology, and automotive technology. You can also study at a top
rated licensed practical nurse program, become a certified nursing
assistant, or enroll in NTI’s surgical technology program. Northwest
Technical Institute will also be offering classes in business technology
and information technology.
Secondary classes at NTI are available free of charge to any high
school junior and senior in Northwest Arkansas. Students can take
classes in automotive technology, diesel and truck technology and
welding technology. In the fall of 2017, NTI began offering diesel
truck technology classes at the Don Tyson School of Innovation in
Springdale. NTI also sponsors satellite learning locations in Gravette
and Farmington. The classes may count as high school credit and
credit at NTI.

Students can finish most programs in 10 months, and LPN and diesel
and truck technology courses in 18 months. Classes at NTI typically
cost much less than you would pay at a two-year or four-year college.

aid program, which includes Pell Grants. The financial aid office also
processes federal, state and private scholarships and grants.
