OTC+

What is OTC+?

Ohio Technical Center Plus is Ohio’s dual credit program where students can earn high school and industry credentials at the same time. This program is available to Ohio residents that are in their senior year enrolled at a public/private high school or homeschooled.

This program delivery model is intended to provide the flexibility schools need in preparing students for their future when students cannot enroll locally due to course capacity, scheduling conflicts, lack of course offering, lack of qualified instructor, or lack of facilities.
