Lanier Technical College will hold an open house for individuals seeking information about its many certificate, diploma, or degree programs. Whether you’re fresh out of high school or are hardly able to remember high school, this information session will get you the information you need to make an informed decision about enrolling. Students, faculty, and staff will be giving tours of the facilities, so prospective students can see the state-of-the-art labs and classrooms used in the various programs. Advisors from all programs will be available as will student services representatives to answer your questions about admissions, registration, financial aid/HOPE, and career placement.

Georgia’s Technical Colleges are one of the best kept secrets around. Their close ties with local industry ensure that the training you receive is what will get your career going in the right direction. Tuition is very affordable, and most students qualify for the HOPE Grant, which is different that the HOPE Scholarship. The Grant, which covers tuition and pays $50 or $100 toward books, is available to most Georgia residents 16 or older regardless of income or academic record.

You may study in the following areas: Accounting (QuickBooks and Peachtree Software), Business Office Technology (Microsoft Office 2003), Computer Information Systems – Networking Specialist (Microsoft & CISCO), Criminal Justice, Drafting (most current CAD), Early Childhood, EMT, Interior Design, Management, Marketing, Medical Assisting, Practical Nursing, and Printing and Graphics (most current Quark, Photoshop, In Design, & Illustrator).
