What IntelliTec College does

IntelliTec College is a privately-held for-profit career training institution founded in 1965 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It operates four accredited campuses across Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Albuquerque, serving adult learners seeking accelerated entry into healthcare, skilled trades, information technology, and personal services occupations. The institution is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), with Colorado campuses approved by the Division of Private Occupational Schools (DPOS) and the New Mexico campus approved by the New Mexico Higher Education Department (NMHED).

The college delivers a portfolio of approximately ten programs spanning Medical Career Programs (Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant, Medical Billing & Coding Specialist, Nursing Assistant), Trades & Technology Programs (Automotive, Electrical, Refrigeration & HVAC, Computer Systems Technician), Health & Wellness Programs (Cosmetology, Massage Therapy), and an Adult Education Program that enables students to complete a high school diploma alongside vocational training. Instruction is delivered via a hybrid model that pairs on-campus hands-on labs (auto bays, dental and massage clinics, cosmetology salons, computer and electrical workshops) with online coursework through Canvas LMS. Curriculum is mapped to industry-recognized certifications, including ASE, CompTIA A+/Network+/Security+, NCCER, AMT RMA, DANB NELDA, AAPC CPC/CPB, and FSMTB MBLEX, supported by partnerships with credentialing bodies and content providers such as Pivot Point, Electude, Redken, and MATCO Tools.

IntelliTec generates revenue primarily through tuition and fees for certificate and associate degree programs, supplemented by disbursed federal student aid (FAFSA and Pell Grants) and veterans' benefits (GI Bill). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective students are recruited via website lead forms, a career match quiz (Vast Pathway), campus tours, and toll-free admissions lines. A 2025 acquisition of the Euphoria Institute of Beauty Arts and Sciences in Las Vegas extended the footprint beyond Colorado and New Mexico for the first time. The college maintains multi-channel direct enrollment marketing, an industry-experienced instructional staff, and career services for graduate placement. Leadership comprises President and CEO David Vice.
