Enrollment Requirements

All applicants are required to complete a personal interview with a counselor in order to mutually determine whether the program meets the needs of the applicant and are given a guided tour of the facility, a thorough presentation of the training program and receive information on tuition and fees.

Giligia College tests incoming students using the Wonderlic Admissions Examination. Each program of study has a minimum passing score requirement of 16. In addition, each prospective student will receive an admissions interview. Applicants failing to achieve the required scores may be retested no sooner than one week from the administration of the first test. Wonderlic is tied test results directly to job requirements established by the U.S. Department of Labor in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and subsequent O*Net system. This also applies to graduates of our VESL programs. Those graduates of the VESL program who fail to pass shall be offered additional instruction without charge, for a period of up to 50 percent of the number of hours of instruction previously offered by the institution to the student, to enable the student to attain adequate English language proficiency necessary to successful pass the Wonderlic and take the vocational program of their choice.

All VESL applicants are required to complete a personal interview with a counselor in order to mutually determine whether the program meets the needs of the applicant. During this process, the school administers an in-house level test to determine the correct placement into one of the three VESL programs offered. In addition, all applicants must be able to demonstrate access to fiscal resources adequate to meet the financial obligations associated with the training.

Upon completion of the Certified Nursing Assistant course the student will receive a Certificate of Course Completion. The student is eligible to take the State of California Department of Health Services C.N.A. exam to obtain a certificate as a Certified Nursing Assistant. A grade of C or better must be achieved to receive the Certificate of Course Completion.

Upon completion of the Pharmacy Technician program the student will receive a Certificate of Course Completion. Students will have the school knowledge required to sit for the national exam (PTCB). There are two parts to being a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT). First, pharmacy technicians must sit for and pass the national PTCE. Once a pharmacy technician has passed the exam, he or she may use the designation of CPhT. Second, to continue to hold certification, a CPhT is required to obtain twenty hours of continuing education for recertification within two years of original certification or previous recertification. The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board administers the National Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination. This exam is voluntary in most States and displays the competency of the individual to act as a pharmacy technician. However, more States and employers are requiring certification as reliance on pharmacy technicians grows. Eligible candidates must have a high school diploma or GED and no felony convictions, and those who pass the exam earn the title of Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT). The exam is offered several times per year at various locations nationally. Employers, often pharmacists, know that individuals who pass the exam have a standardized body of knowledge and skills.

A person is not eligible to sit for the PTCE, or to recertify for the CPhT credential, if convicted of a felony that occurred within the last five (5) years, and/or if the conviction was drug or pharmacy-related.
