Tutoring, Free Tools Bag & Student Support
At Berk Trade School, we give every student what they need to succeed — including free one-on-one tutoring, a professional tool kit at enrollment, and a supportive environment from day one.
Free One-on-One Tutoring
Every Berk student has access to free, individual tutoring at no additional cost. When you’re struggling with a concept — blueprint reading, electrical theory, plumbing codes — you can get one-on-one time with an instructor or support staff who can help you work through it.
No appointment needed. No extra charge. This is one of the main reasons our graduation rate stays above 90% — we catch issues early and give students the tools to get back on track before they fall behind.
Professional Tool Kit — Included at Enrollment
Every student who enrolls at Berk Trade School receives a professional tool kit at the start of their program — at no additional cost. You won’t need to buy tools before your first class. We equip you from day one.
These are the same types of tools you’ll use throughout your training and can carry into your trade career. Starting fully equipped builds good habits and can help prepare you to pursue entry-level work in the trades.
Small Class Sizes & Individual Advisement
Berk deliberately keeps class sizes small. That’s not marketing language — it’s a structural choice that shapes the entire learning experience. When classes are small, instructors know each student personally and can identify and address issues early.
Students also have access to individual academic advisement throughout their program — someone who knows where you are in your training and can help you stay on track toward graduation.
