Welcome to Continuing Education and Customized Training

The Pine Technical College Continuing Education department offers a broad range of courses designed for an individual's professional growth and development, while the Customized Training department provides education and training tailored to businesses' specific needs. With changing technologies and changing markets, it is more important than ever to invest in an organization's most important resource -- its people. Together, the PTC Continuing Education and Customized Training (CECT) department provides quality workforce training and development to help grow and prosper the Pine Area.

About Continuing Education...

Pine Technical College's Continuing Education department serves as the major regional provider of skill-based, short-term courses.

-- Courses are conveniently offered during the day, evening and on weekends.
-- Courses are open-enrollment and cater to a foreseen need such as new technology.
-- Many courses are designed to meet an occupational licensing or legal requirement.
-- Since class sizes are smaller, students receive more individual attention and learn more.
-- Courses are shorter in duration than college credit classes and are delivered to meet the needs of the participant.
