    PTI is the first two-year career school in Western PA to receive regional accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

    PTI students graduate with the skills employers seek.

    Our associate degree and certificate programs are designed to meet the current needs of employers by following industry trends and technologies. Our Career Services Department surveys employers and graduates. Instructors and department chairs network through community involvement and professional organizations. And curriculum is developed under the guidance of our advisory boards.
