License types

Licenses Northwest Technical College offers.

Each type is its own approval. Most brands start with the standard license and add others once they’re selling.

Standard trademark
The core license to put the school's names and logos on products, in the categories and sales channels you're approved for.

Step by step

Getting your Northwest Technical College license.

01
Apply to CLC as a company (Phase 1)
Submit the company application in Brand Manager 360: who you are, what you make, where it's made and how you'll sell it. Name Northwest Technical College and a focused list of other schools you actually want. A short, credible list gets approved faster than every school you can think of.
02
Win Northwest Technical College's approval
Your request goes to Northwest Technical College's licensing director. The questions are consistent: is the product incremental to current licensees, is there real retail demand, are the channels focused, is the product actually different, and will you protect the brand and supply chain? Write the marketing plan for Northwest Technical College specifically, not a reused template.
03
Finish Phase 2 onboarding
After a school approves, CLC moves you into Phase 2: certificate of insurance and additional insured endorsement sent together, a hologram order from CLC's supplier, factory disclosures, and an Authorized Manufacturer Agreement signed by each factory.
04
Pay the advance and sign the agreement
You'll get an invoice and a license agreement to sign electronically. CLC takes check, ACH or wire. Move quickly: a school's approval expires after 90 days if the paperwork isn't finished.
05
Get categories, channels and designs approved
Designs can only be submitted under categories already on your contract, and you can only sell in approved channels. New schools expect first artwork within about 30 days, and a denied design has a 10-day resubmit window in Brand Manager 360.
06
Report royalties every month
CLC royalty reports are due monthly by the 20th, including months with no sales. Every royalty-bearing line needs the design's UPI and each retailer needs a CLC retailer code.

Mistakes that slow Northwest Technical College approvals

Requesting every sales channel instead of the ones you'll use.
Reusing another school's plan with the old school's name still in it.
A claims-made insurance policy, or an endorsement sent separately from the certificate.
Letting an approval sit past its 90-day window.
