What the USILACS Trade Education Program Is — and Is Not

The USILACS Trade Education Program is a comprehensive, 100% online educational platform that provides students with the academic and theoretical knowledge required to pass state or national licensing and certification exams. These programs are meticulously designed to prepare students for the written portion of licensing exams in a wide array of skilled trades and professions. Each trade program includes online instruction, curated video content, downloadable tools, practice assessments, and national exam preparation.

However, it is important to clarify what the program does not include. USILACS does not provide hands-on or in-person training. For trades that require practical experience—such as plumbing, HVAC, automotive repair, and electrical work—students will need to supplement their USILACS education with field-based training. This typically takes place through employment, apprenticeships, internships, or other real-world experiences that provide the physical, tactile skill development necessary for licensing in many jurisdictions.

As an example: USILACS can prepare a student to pass the written plumbing license exam, but that student will still be required to complete hands-on training in order to fully meet all local, state, or national licensing requirements.

The USILACS Trade Education Program is ideal for:

  • Individuals seeking to strengthen their knowledge before testing

  • Career changers preparing to enter a licensed field

  • Those pursuing certification eligibility with prior experience

  • Students aiming to combine academic preparation with real-world experience

  • Individuals seeking to increase their chances of being hired into a position where they can gain the apprenticeship, internship, or on-the-job training required for full licensure

Students are encouraged to check their local or national licensing board requirements to ensure that any additional practical or supervised training hours are arranged independently of USILACS.


Who Should Enroll?

  • Individuals seeking in-demand skills to enter or re-enter the workforce
  • Entrepreneurs wanting to launch service-based businesses
  • Homeschool or non-traditional learners pursuing certification
  • Volunteers or missionaries needing trade training for global outreach
  • Anyone seeking flexible, career-focused education
