In 1997, the Kentucky General Assembly passed the Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997, separating Kentucky's community colleges from the University of Kentucky's Community College System and uniting them under a new entity, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. This separation left ECC to operate for nearly a year and a half without formal accreditation, as the community colleges had previously received accreditation through their connection with the University of Kentucky. Once KCTCS was established, this oversight was corrected.

The Elizabethtown Japanese School (エリザベスタウン日本人補習校 Erizabesutaun Nihonjin Hoshūkō), a weekend Japanese program, holds its classes at the college.[1][2]

Campus

ECTC has four campuses to accommodate the surrounding community. The main campus is located in Elizabethtown off the 31-W bypass.

The technical college also offers seven off-campus locations where students of Hardin, and 11 surrounding counties can attend instructional classes.[3]
