The 10 Best Trade Schools near Portland, Oregon

Here is a review from an user.

I attended the beginners and advanced classes 2 years ago. Their instructors are amazing floral artists. They are all very encouraging and give great constructive critique to help you grow your skills and creativity. Whether you want to use your training to work in the floral industry or want to gain skills for personal hobby, you'll love the experience of learning from some of the best of the best! 🌷

I called Shari nearly two years ago today, took the night class with instructor Anthony. I had a wonderful chance to be a t/a for the day class with instructor Merritt, and got hired out of school in under six months. I’m happily working as a software engineer remotely and could not have done it without the platform PDX code guild provides. Thanks guys.

Thank you God for giving His strength, peace and comfort through our many challenges this year. I feared I would not have completed the Audio Production and Engineering program without Him. Thank you to The Recording Connection for their patience in our struggle with finances, health, loss and specifically Jon Bicchieri keeping me on track as well. His encouragement throughout the course is foreign to me so please know how much I appreciate you all. Best school I have ever attended and a new beginning starts.

Cool instructor. GPS navigation is set for commercial trucks, so drive around to get where your going.

My experience at the esthetics institute was everything I dreamt it would be and more! I graduated confident with my first class education in this cutting edge career. The Aesthetics Institute propelled me to an exciting career path that allows me to support my family, live my passions and grow with each year that comes. I will forever be grateful for my time at the Aesthetics Institute!

Very good

The learning material is straight forward. They teach you what you need to know, and give you lots of practice with exercises. This school offers "Live Projects" where you get real world coding experiences and can interact with other students, and instructors. The instructors are fantastic, helpful, and kind. The whole school cares a lot about you being successful and landing a job, as they will prepare you very well to get a job and teach you all about the necessary information that you need to know. I highly recommend this school if you want to learning a programming language, or multiple!

I signed up for a single class to expand on my sewing hobby and two years later I've graduated with two certificates and have started a whole new career! The classes are amazing, the teachers are so knowledgable, and it is even quite affordable. I've learned to design and make just about anything! If you want to be working in apparel, there's no better place than Portland and no better way to learn and get your foot in the door than PFI!

Greg helped me set up on-site fall protection training and he made the process easy! He was knowledgeable, easy to work with, and tailored the presentation to our specific line of work - which was very helpful. He took extra care to make sure all class participants stayed engaged and clearly understood the course material. I would gladly recommend CITE for training to anyone looking for it.

I just had my second appointment with Natalie, a barber student. Her services match that of a professional. She is self-confident, listens well, gives her input and doesn't do anything not mutually agreed upon, is an excellent communicator, is gentle and calm, shows passion for what she does, does a fantastic haircut, sideburns trim, eyebrow trim, is very efficient and unrushed, her appointment just flows along until she shows you the end product and all I can say is wow!, I am happy!

I stumbled across FDI (Floral Design Institute) during as new budding florist in South Africa and religiously consume their content when ever it is released. I follow them on all platforms and will be joining the Tulip Club. Their informative, inspirational and well worth every single minute I have spent viewing their content online. Can wait to consume loads more this year and to join the Tulip Club. Thank you Leanne, David and rest of the team. As a new florist that don't get the opportunity to work with as many florist due to COVID- i just love the content.

I've worked with Seven 3 times now and I absolutely love her work! The first thing I brought to her was a sword I wanted on my shin (not much to go on design-wise in a really painful spot) and she hit the design out of the park, is super easy to talk to during the session, and did an absolutely awesome job laying down the tattoo (especially considering I was squirming and the sword required a " straight line) She's done a couple tattoos for me since and I love them all! Her abilities with black and grey illustrative designs is what keeps me coming back and I've recommended her to every friend looking for an artist. Everyone else who works in the shop are great company too and do absolutely awesome work! I look forward to getting more tattoos at Point of View and more from Seven specifically!

I ended up leaving the program for reasons of location, but I will, frankly, miss it. The office coordinators are extremely responsive, answering my (many) questions about the applicant-to-apprentice process quickly and thoroughly. The instructors are not only competent - all, I believe, have spent many years in the industry - but likeable. The best I can say is that everybody at the College seems to genuinely enjoy what they do, and it reflects in the quality of the program. I can recommend it without reservations to anyone interested in pursuing Journeyman status in the trades that they cover.

I love to create shoes, and when I see how you take it to a hole new level it makes my day and I hope to be creating here in a couple years.

I was in the dental assisting program. I had the best experience with Carrington College. I had an amazing instructor, Mrs. Rochelle and a awesome career advisor, Tim. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. Sam, at the front desk, was always great. She cracked a joke every once in a while which just sets your day off right. Lectures were very informative. Mrs. Rochelle has a background in dentistry and in public health, so it was a great experience learning from someone who knew what they were talking about. She will always work with you and set you up for success. Tim is the kind of career advisor you need as you are heading off to your externship sites, he will work with you, answer your questions, he is also honest and straight forward. If he doesn't know the answer, he will let you know and get back to you when he finds out. He is also sweet and wants to see you succeed as well. Thank you Carrington.

I just finished the DA program at Concorde and it was an amazing experience. My Instructor Alyssa was awesome and truly helped me learn so much. She is such a welcoming and loving teacher who truly wants to see her students do their best. The program director Lindsay is wonderful as well and is always able to help whenever I have a question or even if I just need advice. You can always tell when Lindsay is around because she brings happiness and energy wherever she goes. She is such a hard worker who loves what she does and cares for each student so much. Steven is also an amazing person to talk to on campus. He goes above and beyond for his students and is always a friendly face to see on campus. Overall I had a great time at Concorde and the staff that worked with me were so amazing.
