www.ustti.org. Applying online guarantees the quickest processing time. Another option is to fax or mail the application form found at the rear of the USTTI catalog. PLEASE NOTE: Due to lengthy visa requirements, USTTI urges applicants to submit applications at least sixteen weeks before the beginning of their first desired course. Applications received after the sixteen week deadline will still be considered, but are less likely to result in acceptance. Applicants are reminded that their USTTI application must be fully completed and include current office, fax, and mobile phone numbers, at least one valid e-mail address, and contact information for two relatives living in their home country as well as any in the United States, if applicable. Incomplete applications may not be considered. For those applying via fax or mail, applications should be typed.
Applicants should carefully review the course descriptions provided in the catalog and apply selectively for only those courses that are most appropriate to their experience, responsibilities and goals. Applicants should take special notice of the available course sequences, which provide an opportunity to maximize the training experience by attending several consecutive courses.
Is your application complete, including valid e-mail addresses, office and mobile phone numbers, passport details, supervisor contact information, and contact information for relatives in your country as well as the U.S.?
Since USTTI training is offered only in English, participants must have a functional proficiency in English.
USTTI Scholars must attend all classes unless excused by the training staff for health or emergency reasons.
During orientation, each USTTI Scholar must pay an insurance and administrative fee of US$150 for the first course and US$75 for each additional course. This fee is mandatory since the USTTI is required to insure all USTTI Scholars regardless of a Scholar's individual coverage under a personal or company insurance policy. This insurance does not cover dental care, eye care, prescriptions, or pre-existing conditions.
To avoid any disruption to the USTTI admission process, applicants for USTTI training may not contact course sponsors regarding acceptance or funding decisions.
