Trade School Insider

Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2025

Trade School Insider participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this site — specifically links to trade school programs and certain gear recommendations — may earn a referral commission if you enroll, request information, or make a purchase through those links.

What This Means for You

When you click a "Request Info" button on a school listing and submit your information, Trade School Insider may receive a commission from the school or its enrollment partner. This does not add any cost to you.

Affiliate links on this site use rel="nofollow sponsored" HTML attributes, which disclose to search engines that a commercial relationship exists.

What Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Affect

  • Rankings — schools are ranked based on accreditation, program quality, cost, and outcomes data. Affiliate relationships do not influence ranking position.
  • Inclusion — schools are included or excluded based on accreditation status and program quality, not on whether an affiliate relationship exists.
  • Review content — what is written about each school reflects research findings, not commercial interest.
  • Recommendations — if we recommend a school, it is because the data supports that recommendation.

Our Affiliate Partners

Current affiliate relationships may include:

  • TradeSchools.net education referral network
  • Amazon Associates (for tool and gear recommendations)
  • Exam prep course providers (AWS CWI, NATE, EPA 608)

This list is updated as new relationships are added or existing ones end.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that material connections between an advertiser and endorser be clearly disclosed.

In addition to this page, an affiliate disclosure notice appears near the top of every page on this site that contains affiliate links.
