PCCTI did a great job. The staff is very responsible and offered a great insight.Erika Bongiovanni

Thank you for all your information on interviewing and how to answer questions. Thank you!Christina Garrivan

I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to say Hello and let you know how my ultrasound career is going. I am still working at the same hospital in Wisconsin (it's been already 8 months) and I truly enjoy this job. I learned so much in such a short time and after 3 months on the job I was already taking call. I scan abdomens, small parts, lots of pelvics, legs, and OB's. I am also involved in biopsies which is still the most stressful for me. I also have to take a machine and go portable to inpatients and ER. I am on call every other night and every other weekend. If you ever need me to come to PCCTI and talk to your students about the career and your school, I will be more than happy to do that. Take care Nitasha and thank you for the education and opportunity you and PCCTI gave me.Marlena Grzybek

I would like to notify you that I was offered a job at the Family Medicine clinic in Wauconda as an Echo Technician. This is a wonderful opportunity for me because I will also learn to do billing and basic nursing skills at the clinic. I would also like to thank the staff at PCCTI for notifying me about this wonderful opportunity. Thanks to the staff, I now can start working in the field of Echocardiography. Also this past week I passed the CCI Science Exam and am now preparing to take the CCI RCS registry exam. Once again, thank you PCCTI for giving me this wonderful opportunity.Patricia Szafranski

PCCTI was my first school I attended when I moved to Chicago. I had a great experience at PCCTI, and this also gave me an idea of continuing my educationand hopefully one day becoming a doctor. Everyone at PCCTI were very helpful, especially my instructor. I got my Cardiology technician certification right after the class was over and I enjoyed practicing my work during the internship in one of the biggest hospitals of Chicago that was also provided by PCCTI. I am currently working in Saint Anthony Hospital, as an EKG/Monitor tech in ICU/Telemetry and I still keep getting calls for job interviews. I love my job and I am looking to come back to PCCTI later on for a surgical technician program.Inga Salija

I wanted to take the time to thank you and share my experience with PCCTI. I was a phlebotomy student at your Oakbrook location. The phlebotomy course was not easy but it was thorough. I had a great instructor and covered the materials very well. Reading and homework are mandatory and necessary. Upon completing the course and receiving my certificate, I attended the Clinical Externship Program orientation. The staff made everything easy from answering my questions and explaining tracking procedures to setting up my clinical externship. As part of my clinical externship, I performed routine venipuncture procedures, prepared lab requests, centrifuged specimens and packaged them for transportation. I would escort patients to the examination rooms and check their height, weight and temperature and help them feel comfortable while they waited for the doctor. I also assisted with other daily office functions, such as: answering the telephone, setting up appointments, updating insurance information, receipting co-pays and filing and any other duties as necessary. It was a great experience working with such competent and busy professionals. I learned a great deal and I felt like I was truly part of the office team. Thank you for providing me with such an excellent opportunity. My entire experience with PCCTI has been very positive. I would highly recommend PCCTI to anyone who has the desire and drive to become a medical professional.Kathleen J Whittaker

I made the decision to change careers and enter the healthcare field at 46 years old. As a working adult with a busy lifestyle, I needed vocational training that was somewhat accelerated and flexible. I chose PCCTI. I found the instruction method employed adult learning methods with hands-on training, and flexible to accommodate a diverse audience. I finished my course and became certified in my chosen field all within six weeks. I would definitely choose PCCTI again!Steven Tosch

I took Cardiology and Phlebotomy class. The instructors did and excellent job. They were patient and helpful. The highest standard. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the opporunity to attend PCCTI. It is really a great school.Vlasta Havlicek

I worked for Advanced Lab for over 40 Hours. It was a very nice experience doing Medicare claims. I learned a lot about insurance and billing. It will help me in my Billing job. Thank you!Farida Rind

My clinical experience was great. Just having clinical training in a hospital setting was enough on its own. Also I was surrounded by very positive people, and were willing to help and teach me everything about the field. I encountered a lot of hands on scanning on average of 8 to 10 patients a week. I also learned what to do and not to do in the prescence of a patient, how to work in an ICU ward, work with a portable machine, learned different protocols to use when scanning. I also learned a lot of information about the hospital setting. Ultrasound is a way that I can give back to people. I'm helping them find out about problems that may be occuring. This was my way to get my foot off the door.Shanyta M Starling

If you are SERIOUS about a new career, PCCTI is the place. The instructors are there to help, the staff are willing to give you the leads you need, all you have to do is ask. The counselors put the wheels in motion for your bright future. Bottom line: PCCTI was an experience I will carry throughout my life. Thank you very much!!Nataliha Maisonette

My experience at PCCTI was a GREAT one. The instructor made the material interesting, easy to learn and was very helpful. I went into the program with some doubts whether I was making the right decision. PCCTI came through for me not only did they counsel me with future education moves but they assisted in updating my resume and placing me with my dream job. I am now a Prenatal Ultrasound Technician. Thank you.Dawn Cornfield

My experience with PCCTI has been nothing but a joy. I have learned new technologies and have been surrounded with intelligent thinkers. In our class we solved real world problems that were not only challenging but also fun at the same time. PCCTI was a rewarding experience in that I have learned skills that made me a marketable job candidate. The instructors are very patient and understanding which is also a plus. Not only that, the school provides its students with the latest software giving them the competitive edge that they need. Currently I am working at a top Independent Software Vendor known as Trading Technologies and I can attribute my daily success to the skills I learned at PCCTI Terrence Young

I am writing this to you to let you know how much I appreciate your help during my passage at PCCTI. You are the most kind and honest people I have ever met, and I am glad that I came to your school. I had the best instructor, very knowledgeable and well experienced with Cisco products, he pushed me to be more. I am very grateful that I came to your school when I did, because through the resources you provided to us, we started the CCNP class July 10th, 2005 and I was able to take all my exams by Jan 30th, 2006. Now I am a Cisco Certified Network Professional and I just started a new job with AT&T as a Network Designer with the help of my instructor. I truly enjoy what I am doing and I just wanted to share that excitement with you and thank you for your dedication in helping someone like me who needed guidance. It wasn`t easy per se, but I had to put a lot of hard work and discipline into it in order to accomplish that. Thank you so much for being you and hiring such a great instructor. Therese Meyobeme

Thank you so much for your help today. I really appreciate all the effort and hard work from everyone at PCCTI, it really is a great school. Gregory Tartzynski

I am privileged to announce how great PCCTI and its instructors are. Medical Billing and Coding, Phlebotomy and MOS I & II were all a breeze with such excellent and dedicated professors instructing the class. Not only did I achieve certification in a timely manner, but within months PCCTI also recommended employers and I became employed within the Medical Billing field through their employment board. Lots of thanks to PCCTI and its professors. Darnisha McGee

I really enjoyed my Ultrasound class at PCCTI. The experienced faculty contributed to the simplicity of the class, and allowed me to better understand the concepts of ultrasonic imaging. Also, with plenty of clinical hours available, and the intensive hands-on in-class experience, I acquired the necessary skills to enter the field with professionalism. The facilities are very organized and clean, and the friendly atmosphere made attending PCCTI a very rewarding experience. The staff was friendly as well, cooperating with anything that I needed, such as tuning-up my resume and getting job leads from their career services department. I recommend anyone interested in making Ultrasound their career of choice to attend PCCTI. With the experience you`ll get from this course, it is sure to land you in a very nice facility as an Ultrasound Technician UB - Udaya Komminene

My experience at PCCTI was very pleasant and exciting. My professors did such a great job going into details of Ultrasound Physics and the human anatomy. I was constantly learning from my professors and my peers. I would recommend attending this school to anyone who is interested in pursuing Ultrasound as their career choice. Alex Marquez

Teacher was very experienced, concise and easy to follow. I have had several teachers in my career but none as good as PCCTI`s. They are the best. I highly recommend everyone to train through them. I travel from Hammond, Indiana to attend classes here.Wayne Gralewski

[...] At PCCTI, the class sizes are small which is good because then you can get more individualized focused attention. My instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate about the student`s understanding the concepts of the material. He made sure we understood what we needed to know in order to become real world professionals.Duchyll McGregor

The Ultrasound teachers have a great variety of skills so you get a nice broad educational experience!. All books and supplies come with your tuition so there are no "surprise" expenses. Melissa Grostick

The teacher was very work-oriented when teaching material. I loved the whole experience and the friendly environment. Anyone should take this Pharmacy Tech class, and it was at a very reasonable cost! Linda Bensfield

I was very pleased with the teacher, she was very patient and helpful. I really like the personal touch that is given by the school and the instructor. The facility is very clean and state-of-the-art. The hours were very helpful to accomodate with my busy schedule. I would recommend PCCTI highly for Ultrasound Nancy Portillo

...I had researched at least 9 computer schools in Chicago. PCCTI not only gave me the best deal, but also the best education with very experienced instructors who knew their subjects well. Without the school and the instructor`s help I would not have been able to achieve so much in such a short time. I am gratefully appreciating all the PCCTI has done for me. I am sure you will find PCCTI is HEAD and SHOULDER above other schools. George Chan

The instructor was very informative and encouraging about the field and job prospect. I`m looking towards entering the Coding field Debra Washington-Smith

But after four months I have not only gained more computer skills (A+, Web Development and now E-Commerce), I have gained so much confidence in myself in the fact that I know I have new skills to offer to the job market. These instructors have been very generous with their time and patient. They will take an extra step with you. Wright Crockrell

I very much appreciated the way I was treated and respected at PCCTI. I thought the overall mood of the staff was very friendly as well as helpful.

I appreciated the opportunity to attend PCCTI. Best of luck to the entire staff. Ken Novak

I can`t thank you enough for being such a great instruction school. Because of PCCTI, I know Quickbooks, I`m no longer afraid of my computer. Thanks so much. Denise M. Bagby

I was honored and grateful to be a student at PCCTI. I made a decision that would change my life, that decision was to attend PCCTI. I made a commitment to that decision and I have now accomplished that and so has the rest of the class. At the beginning we all were uncertain of what we would be facing I named that week "We only just begun", but as weeks progressed we gained more confidence in ourselves and of our capabilities to learn new skills needed to get a good job. The next week was named climbing the ladder, this would not be possible if we didn`t have the guidance and counsel of our devoted instructor. There were many accomplishments I wish I could tell you about them all. The confidence everyone gained was amazing. We were on the right track, thanks to PCCTI. We were on our own and half way home. We covered the seven ports of life and became more assertive. We went from rags to riches with knowledge. Terry Germany

PCCTI MCSE Windows 2000/NT4 course was very helpful. The course consisted of comprehensive and "real world" instructions. The course`s training lab was very useful not only to do the Microsoft lab exercises, but to additionally explore and test other relevant "real world" situations that correlate to the Microsoft training material. All the instruction was 100% live and "hands-on". Our instructor was superior in her instructions and "real world" experience as relevant to the Microsoft curriculum. I would highly recommend PCCTI to others for their training needs. Not only is the instruction superb, but also the entire staff is very friendly, helpful and supportive. I would definitely take my future training courses at PCCTI. Steve Nicolaidis

I would like to thank the staff and the instructor and everyone at PC Center for their help and support in my continuing progress towards my Computer Certification. After taking my MCSE class, I was able to complete both my A+ Certification and Network + Certification within 10 days of my last class. I do believe that this would have not been possible without the training I received from PC Center and its wonderfull staff. Managment promised me that with PC Center`s help I could pass my exams and that was a promise the instructors have kept. Thank you very much. Ernest J. Hanson

I refered a couple of individuals to PC Center for training. I informed them that your center is the only one I could endorse. I gave them phone and website information as well as your email address. I hope everything is going well. Jeff Warmack

I took the MCSE evening class for 3 months and I passed my first exam while still in the class. Now a month after finishing my class, I am a trully qualified MCSE and MCDBA. This has been an excellent learning experience and the staff and the instructors are extermly helpful, supportive and friendly. Ketika Patel
