Berks technical institute Reviews

Do not go to this school. It s trash. I went for about 4 month and I didn t learn anything. I pay almost 10k and I still own money. If I could give a 0 stars I will.

I attended this school years ago, and never completed the degree program. I'm not sure what they are like these days, but back then there was very little student support. I did not finish the degree because I was never able to get the assistance I needed as a disabled student.

The teachers are the gems to the school administration at first was ok now its better I know the director of education she is amazing

DONT WAST YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!! Because of COVID they dropped me and all my classmates from are program and we only had a week or 2 left. They don t give any details on what to do now. They messed up my life now and I have to get a lawyer involved. They wasted my money and time!!!! DONT GO HERE!!!!!! ( I was in for massage therapy REMINDER other massage schools are open!!!!)

School doesn't care about their students. All they want is money and could care less about having you on hold for 15minutes plus. Call more then once and they hardly answer or they just keep putting you on hold or saying let me transfer you to this guy and never answer. Would highly advise to move on to a different school!

I graduated from the business program. While the program was great and the teachers amazing, I'm now having trouble getting my transcripts because I have a small balance owed to the school that I was never told about until i went to get my transcripts. I started a new job and am in need to show my transcripts but the school is refusing to even release them to my Supervisor. Now I'm at risk of losing my job. They're no help what so ever, all they keep saying is, i don't know what to tell you but the balance needs to be paid before we can release them. Guess I lose my job and the ability to pay my student loans or support my family. Thanks BTI!!

I graduated from here last year (2018) and had mixed experiences with the school. While being a student here the school changed ownership multiple times. (4 if I remember correctly) Every time being promised better computers and books and other things for classes. I was in the drafting department and had pretty decent teachers. The issue was the books and the computers and the printer were all dated and needed updating. Now that I have left I do know they got New updated books, The computers have been cleaned up a bit, and the school bought a new Plotter finally after a year with none. Maybe the school is finally heading in the right direction. Courses were to short for what was required to learn as well. Should've/ could've easily been a 3-4 year program and not 21 months.

Went to for CDL and it was beyond garbage and I didn t even get to take the test because of how unready I was. I had Delores which was the worst instructor ever. They had her zombified by working both morning/night and weekend classes all in one session. She also did not even know how to properly drive the truck. Then I had Carl who was a hothead and would look at you as if you were stupid. Then I had Joe Castro who was actually pretty decent but I had him for only a few days.

So in total, I had 3 different instructors telling me how to drive the truck. I was waiting for a call to schedule my cdl test but never received one. It should be BTIs job to make sure their students are alright. Fast forward after COVID, I stated that I did not receive enough training. I was told that I had completed my 160 hours a training which I did not because I missed a week and would have to pay again for a refresher course. Automatic $5500 down the drain.
