Delta Technical College History
Delta Technical College is a year-round school providing vocational training in mechanical trades and allied health career fields where job growth is expected.
Midwest Technical Institute, Delta Tech's sister school, was founded in 1995 in Lincoln, Illinois. Since opening its doors as Delta Technical College in 2004, Delta Tech has achieved many milestones, including receiving national accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) for its course offerings, and expanding our programs and courses beyond the original welding program.

Delta Tech has always taken great pride in touching the lives of students by giving them the hands-on workforce training they need to be successful. After over twenty years and thousands of students, that goal has remained the same.
