If you're considering pursuing higher education in Texas, you may come across the term "college and career school" (CCS). So, what exactly is a CCS, and how is it different from a traditional college or university?

In Texas, CCSs are institutions that offer vocational training and career-focused programs in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, technology, business, and more. These schools are approved and regulated by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and are subject to rigorous standards of quality and accountability.

Our programs are designed to prepare students for success in the growing field of sleep medicine, with a focus on practical skills and hands-on training.

One of the key benefits of attending an approved CCS like First Sleep School is that our programs are tailored to the needs of the job market in Texas. We work closely with local employers and industry experts to ensure that our students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career path.

In addition, our status as an approved CCS means that our students are eligible for financial aid and other forms of assistance that can help make their education more affordable. We also offer job placement assistance to our graduates, helping them to find employment in the field of sleep medicine and launch their careers.
