Direct peers

• St. Louis College of Health Careers: A private health-career college in the St. Louis area offering Practical Nursing and allied health programs. Directly comparable to Applied Tech in geography, target student, and LPN credentialing focus.
• Ranken Technical College: St. Louis-based technical college offering career-focused programs including nursing and allied health. Competes with Applied Tech for adult career-changers seeking affordable, employer-aligned training in the same metro.
• Southwestern Illinois College: Community college serving the Metro East with a Practical Nursing certificate program. Competes on price and credit-transferability in the same St. Louis regional market as Applied Tech.
• Midwest Institute: St. Louis-area career school offering practical nursing and allied health diplomas. Directly comparable in target student (adult career changer), delivery model (in-person), and LPN credentialing.

Broad incumbents

• Concorde Career Colleges: Multi-state career college chain offering PN/LPN programs across many campuses. Comparable LPN curriculum and target audience, but with broader geographic reach and a private (rather than public) operating model.
• Galen College of Nursing: Large, multi-state nursing college specializing in PN and ADN programs. Comparable LPN credentialing and adult-learner focus, but operates at much larger scale across multiple cities.
• Fortis College: National career school network with PN/LPN programs at multiple campuses. Overlaps with Applied Tech in practical nursing offering and adult learner target, but with broader program portfolio and scale.
• ECPI University: Multi-campus career university offering nursing and health sciences programs. Comparable in career-focused healthcare credentials, though broader in scope and with online options Applied Tech lacks.

Regional players

• Dorsey College: Michigan-based career college with PN/LPN programs that does not directly compete in the St. Louis metro. Comparable in PN curriculum design and adult-learner recruitment model.
• Unitek College: California-based nursing college with PN/Vocational Nursing programs. Comparable LPN-equivalent curriculum and adult-learner focus, though primarily serving the West Coast market.
