What All-State Career School does

All-State Career School is a private, multi-campus postsecondary career and technical education institution founded in 1967 and operating under the ownership of Education Affiliates, Inc. (EDAFF), a Baltimore-headquartered for-profit education company. The school delivers accredited diploma and certificate programs across three active campuses in Baltimore (MD), Essington (PA), and Pittsburgh (PA), supplemented by a commercial driving range in Chester, PA and a welding lab in Philadelphia, PA, with a former Lester, PA campus now closed. Programmatic offerings span six tracks: Commercial Driving/CDL (Class A and B), Skilled Trades (HVAC-R and Welding), Medical/Healthcare (Medical Assisting, Medical Billing and Coding, Pharmacy Technician), Practical Nursing (delivered under the Fortis School of Nursing brand at Essington), Dental (Expanded Functions Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene), and company-sponsored B2B corporate CDL training for employers such as Coca-Cola, UPS, FedEx, Verizon, Wegman's, Papa John's, Sheetz, and Waste Management.

The underlying technology and operational platform consists of a Microsoft Office 365 education stack for student email and productivity, Canvas (Instructure) as the LMS for course delivery and grading, Zoom for synchronous online instruction, and the MyCampusLink student portal for grades, e-bills, financial aid status, and directory management, with a centralized Student Technology and Resource Center providing tech support. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition from Title IV-eligible consumer students enrolled at the three campuses, supplemented by customized corporate Class A/B CDL training delivered on-site or at All-State facilities, a turnkey CDL licensing/program channel to dozens of partner colleges and agencies, and student financing/payment plan servicing arrangements. Pricing is quote-based by program and campus, with Net Price Calculators per USDOE rules and Pennsylvania Act 69 of 2024 fee transparency disclosures; admissions are handled through centralized EDAFF call-center operations with phone (855-834-4580), SMS (410-346-3820), web lead forms, and on-campus enrollment.
