Overview

Lincoln Technical Institute’s New Britain campus specializes in four career areas: Electrical/Electronics, HVAC, Medical Assisting, and Practical Nursing. The campus combines classroom theory with extensive practical training intended to prepare students for entry-level careers.

Its electrical and HVAC programs are especially relevant for traditional trade-school searches. The campus features advanced electrical trainers for photovoltaics and solar applications, along with the F.W. Webb Green Technology Room for energy-efficiency and HVAC instruction.

Lincoln also maintains industry relationships with Johnson Controls for qualifying electrical graduates and Hussmann for qualifying HVAC graduates.

Programs Offered

Electrical & Electronic Systems Technology

The electrical program consists of 1,200 instructional hours and covers residential and commercial electrical work as well as low-voltage electronics. Training includes wiring, electrical controls, service panels, lighting, conduit, fire alarms, security systems, telecommunications, solar technology and home automation.

Day, afternoon and evening versions can each be completed in approximately 52 weeks. The evening format combines on-campus training with some assignments completed remotely.

HVAC/R

Students train in air conditioning, refrigeration and heating systems, including energy efficiency, green HVAC concepts, energy auditing, and solar thermal/geothermal technologies. Graduates are prepared to sit for several industry certification examinations.

Medical Assistant

The Medical Assistant program provides approximately 880 instructional hours of healthcare career training.

Practical Nursing

Practical Nursing consists of 1,500 instructional hours. The day program can be completed in approximately 52 weeks, while the evening program takes about 92 weeks. Training includes campus labs plus four clinical rotations, and graduates are prepared to pursue the NCLEX-PN examination.

Career Opportunities

Depending on the program, graduates may pursue entry-level roles such as:

• Electrician Apprentice
• Electrical Technician
• Low-Voltage Technician
• HVAC/R Technician

Student Reviews

Based on your listing data:

⭐ Average Rating: 3.2 (123 Reviews)

Because that rating is below several other Connecticut technical schools, prospective students should compare recent reviews with Lincoln’s official graduation, employment and licensure outcome disclosures, which are available through its New Britain consumer-information page.

Enrollment Tips

• Compare total charges rather than base tuition
• Review New Britain-specific student outcome data
• Ask whether day, afternoon or evening classes are available for your program
• Confirm how electrical training counts toward Connecticut apprenticeship requirements
• Explore grants and scholarships before relying heavily on loans

Bottom Line

Lincoln Tech New Britain is particularly strong for students seeking structured electrical or HVAC training with modern labs and industry connections. Its programs offer substantial hands-on instruction and flexible scheduling, but with published total costs reaching roughly $35,000–$36,600 for several programs and a 3.2-star public rating, students should compare cost, outcomes and recent reviews carefully before enrolling.
