if I could go negative, I would. Former instructor. This place is the most toxic environment I've…read moreever worked at. Mediocre pay and bad hours. Administration is absolutely horrible. They will not back up the staff no matter what. They implement policies and when you try to enforce them, you are the bad guy. Students are allowed to be aggressive and cuss you out and again, you are the problem, not them. To be perfectly blunt, this place sucks.

The school is beautiful, the dorms are nice as well. Most teachers teach from a powerpoint and I…read morecan tell you I barely learned anything. President Alicia Harvey-Smith is a sketchy joke who fumbled the school. I wish I could get my money back, definitely not worth it. I was better off paying for a scenic apartment, thats pretty much what this place was anyways. Just an apartment with a dumb school nearby.

The teachers at PTC do not seems to be qualified to teach the course content they are assigned nor…read moredo they seem to understand how to use the learning management system Bright Space. For example, my son enjoyed his classes turned in all of his assignments, and was excited to be a student at PTC. Unfortunately he received an F in all of classes in the first quarter. However when I calculated his grade by hand he received 3 B's and 2 C's. I contacted the instructors to let them know about the discrepancies and they replied that the system automatically calculated the grades. Therein lies the problem. The instructor did not assign several assignment that were worth 12 points each but the system automatically calculated the points for those assignment resulting in lowering his grade from a C to an F. Additionally, PTC is deceptive about the qualification of the instructors. For example in the faculty profiles the critical thinking teacher is a male with 15 years of experience. However the critical thinking teacher for my son was a female and she was not included in the faculty profile page. Shady to say the least.

Ease of access is fine over off Broadhead Road in Beaver -- just beyond the Beaver Valley Shopping Mall. Lots of subdisciplines -- my favorite is the welding track as virtually everyone appears to end up with a solid job in a profession that isn't being phased out anytime soon. With the increasing number of natural gas extraction systems coming online, I am guess that certified welders will be in demand, increasingly. f8 and be there.
