Central Technical Training Academy

Central Technical Training Academy, at 1725 S Maryland Pkwy in Las Vegas (89104), is a career and technical education school for high school students, listed under the Education category with a STEM/Coding subcategory. The age range on file is 14 to 18, matching its high school focus, and the school operates on a School Year schedule rather than running through summer.

The program list is broad for a single campus: Automotive Technology, Construction Technology, Culinary Arts, Emergency Medical Services, Information Technology, Pre-Nursing, Welding Technology, Sports Medicine, Audio Visual Technology, Advanced Engineering, and Biomedical Sciences. That range suggests students choose a career pathway to focus on rather than sampling multiple tracks casually, similar to how a magnet or technical high school program is typically structured.

Amenities reflect a hands-on, industry-style setup: specialized labs and workshops, an industry-aligned curriculum, and career and technical education (CTE) programming built around real-world skills rather than a standard classroom-only format. This fits the range of programs offered, since fields like welding, EMS, and culinary arts require equipment and lab space beyond typical classroom instruction.

Hours run Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, matching a typical school day, with the campus closed on weekends. There is no cost listed for enrollment beyond the price_range marked as Free, which is consistent with this being a public technical education program tied to the school year rather than a paid after-school activity.

Because Central Technical Training Academy is a school-based program for high schoolers specifically, it will not be a fit for younger children or elementary-age kids looking for an activity; families with a middle or high school student weighing career and technical pathways can call (702) 799-0250 for enrollment details or to ask which programs currently have openings.

Given the number of distinct tracks listed, from welding and construction to pre-nursing and biomedical sciences, it is also worth asking during that call how students choose or apply to a specific pathway, since a school offering this many technical programs under one roof likely has some kind of selection or scheduling process to manage lab space and equipment across all eleven listed tracks.
