Classes were first held on the high school campus. The school title officially became Taft College on July 1, 1954, and in September of 1956 a separate campus opened in the current location at 29 Cougar Court adjacent to the high school. The West Kern Community College District was later formed, and is a single-college-district under the guidance of a five-member Board of Trustees. With strong leadership, Taft College offers a robust academic program for its students, and is one of the finest small colleges around!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22088&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22087&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22221&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22085&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1481357092442{background-color: #3d4955 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1480496654305{background-color: #293139 !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1582831487294{padding-right: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22033\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/07\/CTE-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Career Technology<br \/>\nEducation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> CTE provides opportunities to receive training and prepare for careers in a variety of occupational fields including business, energy, safety, and welding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"qbutton\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"\/cte\/\">Learn More about CTE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;48px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1481357083072{background-color: #3d4955 !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1582831683582{padding-right: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22035\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/07\/dental-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Dental<br \/>\nHygiene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Taft College accepts 20 qualified students into its Dental Hygiene program each year.

Distance Education courses are just like traditional on-campus classes. You take your courses with a group of other students. Your instructors are experienced professionals in their fields. Throughout your courses, you have ongoing, individual and group dialogs with instructors and other students. The difference is there is no classroom to go to. There is no commute. You will never have conflicts with family obligations, business travel, or vacations. There is no chance of arriving late or missing class because of illness or lack or childcare.
