Loved going there! Professors are amazing, especially Mr Tavella. I see he now works at psu. They are lucky to have him. Learned so much and directly utilized my knowledge learned

I chose PTI to advance my career with a certificate program. I'm extremely happy with my decision. The staff really cares about your education, and my instructor was outstanding. He knew everything about everything and was able to pass his knowledge on in a clear manner that made it easy and exciting to learn new things. I highly recommend PTI.

this place sucks. They do not teach at all. They give you an assignment and tell you to do it without any instruction once so ever. Do not go here. it is a waste of money.

Horrible school. I seriously regret coming here, the teachers are horrible and clearly teach only to make money, they don't care about you. Don't expect to have any fun while on campus either. I graduated from this school, sadly, and now have to attend a 4 year school because this "college" prepared me for nothing.

Feels more like a high school from the curriculum to how the teachers treat you. The school itself is also very conservative and antique with their views.
