Pennco Tech Review

The instructors are very knowledgeable and do care about the students. You only get what you put into your education. The sales team is a typical sales team but the rest of the school is good.

Pennco Tech is a great school. I am about to graduate from the Electrician program. The teachers here are very knowledgeable. I d like to mention Mr. Spicker........he makes complicated things very clear and understandable. The teachers and staff at Pennco Tech are always here for me when I needed help. I recommend Pennco Tech Bristol to anyone who wants a career in the Electrician field.

First term was a little iffy but second term was phenomenal and couldn t ask for a better teacher he deserves a raise I ve never had such a wonderful experience!

wow I met with a guy named Steve from Pennco tech in BLackwood, NJ google describes pennco tech as for profrit school however steve told me in the meeting how they are privately owned which is HOGWASH he tried to push me to give him a 100 bucks please people be careful with Steve from the Blackwood Location he sounds corrupt

The Air Condition Heating Program at Pennco Tech School in Bristol is the best school in the PA area! The instructors are very knowledgeable and care about the students. I got a great job before graduation. I highly recommend Pennco Tech School in Bristol if you are interested in a career in HVAC.

Pay-to-Play tech school. Remember just because you are approved for a student loan, doesn't mean you should take it.

I graduated from Pennco Tech two years ago from the MAA program. Excellent support after you graduate. I came in today for help and they helped me right away. Thank you so much!

This is my second course at Pennco Tech and the only reason why I'm back is because the instructors are very knowledgeable and do care about the students. I strongly recommend Pennco Tech to anyone if you are serious about getting in to the HVAC or Electrician field. Also a perk....clean campus and great food!

Currently a student and doing very well. The instructors are very knowledgeable and challenging. You truly get out what you put in.

It s been 4 years since I ve graduated from Pennco Tech the Bristol location. I took up Medical Assisting clinical and administrative. Joe at the time helped me apply I paid the $100 up front no problem.

There were two separate classes one for the administrative part and another for clinical hands on training it was very informative both teachers were great.

They also train you for your CPR and First Aid Certification through American Red Cross which was professional and a plus.

I took advantage of the career services Teresa whom helped me perfect my resume and apply for job opportunities was great. Shortly after I landed an entry level job as a Medical Assistant a week before my graduation.

Even half a year later I still was able to contact Victor who helped me find my loan servicer and he was very helpful and nice .

I have perfected my skills since then to further my career in the medical field. I can honestly say I m very satisfied with the training I received and the people who helped me jump start my career. It s been a great progression from then till now and it s only getting better. I definitely choose the right path. I love helping others and I m making great earnings. It s all about how you apply yourself and your willingness to strive for your purpose.

I graduated from the electrician program but wasnt licensed or anything just had a certificate saying I passed the course. Still haven't found work in the field either. The career center posts jobs on the board but not necessarily help you find one but they do help you write a resume. I think it's just way overpriced ,your not certified or anything. Anyone trying to start their career should just get into some sort of apprenticeship "green". You'll save a whole lot of money in the end.

Great school learning a lot in the hvac program what you put into is what you get.

Did I just dodge a bullet or what! Fast talking sells pitch and pressuring to sign on the dotted line! Steve is a great sells person. I feel bad for anyone that doesn't have a back bone! He built up my son the whole time we were there and talked fast and he would answer your questions but the bottom line is hurry up and get a spot for 100.00 dollars. When I told him we wanted to go home and discuss it he turned like a light switch! At that point according to Steve, my son was not ready to go to this school! My son glanced at his phone one time while Steve was on his 3rd phone call and he said to my son I saw you looking at your phone not really interested in what was going on here! When I said we don't make discussion like this on the spot he got very aggressive and at the point I stopped the meeting, and stated this meeting is done! At the point he gets up escorted us out of his office and made us go out the side door! BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN GOING TO THIS SCHOOL! Money hungry not in the best interest of the students! But my son and I did have a good laugh and have a great story!

I'm about to graduate the Electrical program next week and let me tell you, hands down the best electrical program within 100 miles. The instructors are top notch especially in Residential and Commercial.

The best Air Condition Heating Program in the area hands DOWN! The instructors are very knowledgeable and care about the students. I highly recommend Pennco Tech School in Bristol if you are interested in a career in HVAC.

If you value your education and your money, do not go here. If you just want a piece of paper that says you did it and cost $18k be my guest. There s no curriculum no baseline nothing but down time. The equipment you ll work on is a mess from all the previous classes nothing is updated, fixed or safe to work on. The reason their programs are longer is to be able to justify the price, it is not because you learn more. I came here expecting 900 hours of instruction that s what I signed to pay for, what I got was about 50 hours of instruction and 850 hours of sitting in class staring at my phone because no instruction was going on or assignments assigned. Do yourself a favor find someone that will hire you as an apprentice and get your education that way to save yourself from the debt and still make some money. There s nothing here that you are taught that any one with experience in the field can t teach you in a month or two of working.

Pennco tech is a great school, the programs are directed torward your educational learning and the time goes by so fast. All the instructors are friendly and are more then willing to help you out, also the school helps you find a job that fits you so you can have a job by the time of graduation.

Wasn't what I thought it would be. The last term was tremendously more difficult then the first two. Bringing my gpa to a 72. It's a system they have made. They say you can't use notes like first two terms which is strange they say it's the teachers choice. But my main thing was I wasn't allowed to go to graduation because I didn't pay off my " loan to be paid while in school loan". There get there money but I'll never get that ceremony back.

Literally don t waste your money. If you want to be a pharmacy technician, you ll learn more if you apply for an entry level job and get trained on the job. The staff is very nice, but the Pharmacy program was a complete waste of my time and money. I m sure the mechanic program and electrician programs are much more necessary for their jobs, but the pharmacy program almost feels like a scam. I had a great female teacher for my first term, she was very knowledgeable. My second term had a newly hired man, and he was extremely prejudiced and downright mean and cruel. Wish I could just get my money back for that whole second term, because it was extremely disappointing. The male pharmacy was fired shortly after my graduation, thank goodness.
I would also like to add in that the career services are an absolute joke. Never did they do anything to help me find a job in my field, and the figures they liked to throw around about the money I would make after my program were downright lies. I made 75 entire cents more than minimum wage, even though they said the majority of the students made over 12/hour and upward of 20/hour after graduation. Complete lies. I was very disappointed. And now I m stuck with this lovely student loan, when I don t even work in the field that I studied.

Don't do it !!! So much debt . for nothing . Rico racketeering ...!!! Should be illegal .

Pennco Tech is an excellent choice of school to attend

Watch out for this school because they're just money hungry & tell you lies & pressure you, so you can sign up right away. They barely teach you anything, & it's way over priced. Don't waste your time at this place.

Awesome instructors! I loved everything about the ACRH program. If you are looking to get in the HVAC field I highly recommend Pennco Tech School in Bristol.

great place to learn. friendly staff and always helpful. would recommend to everyone looking for a trade. you see bad reviews because some of those people may have failed out and got a little butthurt.

Awesome school for HVAC! Teachers were always helpful and nice. I recommend this school to anyone who wants a career in HVAC!

Top notch tech school that has been around for almost half a century! Great instructors, directors and staff! Everyone is very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly... I can't say enough about Pennco Tech. They also have an AMAZING cafeteria with all food cooked fresh to order with daily specials! They just really care at PenncoTech! I recommend anyone that is interested in a trade to go to Pennco you won't be disappointed!

I completed the electrician program in august and found it to be very informative even with a little electrical experience before the program . The teachers were very knowledgeable. The biggest problem i had while attending school here was it seemed a small part of the student body did not want to learn, they instead wanted everything handed to them on a silver platter. If you want a great hands on learning experience i recommend checking out Pennco Tech.

Be careful with this "sales man" they give you an entire speech of how good you can be for their school and then they ask you for 100 dollars for enrollment, with the promise of give it back if you change your mind ladies and gentlemen this is a "lie" a BIG LIE" these guys in the front office give you a speech with the purpose of steal money from you if you go for visit just to ask about the programs they will try to enroll you with 100 dollar and the financial aid their tuition is way high almost 20, thousand dollars for 13 months Camden county technical institute have the same program much better and lower price. However Penco Teach they promises you big companies are haring HVAC program be prepare don t sign anything with them and be careful when they ask about 100 Dollars enrollment they say is 100 % refundable and later on they say sorry !! Especially with the guy name Dave one of the Salesman and his director They will try to convince you about admission is the way that they make their bonuses!! Be carefully!! With Penco Teach

I graduated pennco tech two months ago and could not be happier with how far the teachers helped me come. Special shoutout to Mr. Eric Ruszin the third term instructor for helping difficult things like pipe bending, pulling wire and motors come so easy to me, I would not be where iam without the help of this guy. I recommend pennco tech to anybody who has a real interest in the electrical field.

I'm an automotive technician that lives in Philadelphia went to pennco Tech in Bristol to certify in PA state inspection had a very good experience my teacher mr. Freeman was very informative and very professional

I came here to get my PA State and Emissions licenses for work. The instructor was great and made the experiences worth while. Definitely recommend them over other schools.

people do not get mixed up with pennco there are two campuses, I go to the one in bucks county and i am extremely satisfied and happy with the training I am getting, the teachers are great and so are the advisors, I would recommend anybody looking for a trade to go here, it's an amazing hands on enviorment and keeps us working the bucks county campus is great. Do get the two campuses mixed

Steve is corrupt. He likes to mislead people so be very careful when dealing with him. He likes to tell you everything will be ok so you pay the $100 enrollment fee and then when its not you dont get it back. Dont make my mistake in dealing with him, his own words to me on a recording i have were im "to dense" to understand and could "care less" whether students enroll or not.

One of the best decision I have ever made. I loved the school and especially the staff. Never had one problem. The teachers are very knowledgeable and I believe are masters of the field. Hopefully one day I can come back and take another course and maybe even teach here one day.

I WENT TO PENNCO TECH FOR COLLISION REPAIR & PAINT. AT FIRST EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL LATER DOWN THE LINE I NOTICED THERE WERE THINGS THAT WE NEVER DID IN THE CURRICULUM. SO BASICALLY I FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF. ALSO SUPPLIES FOR US TO LEARN WITH WERE ALWAYS LATE SO WE HAD TO WAIT A WEEK AT A TIME TO CARRY ON SO WE MADE THE BEST OF IT. MY CAR WAS USED AS A PROJECT CAR FOR A REFINISH AND I WAS CHARGED 420 DOLLARS THAT PENNCO TECH HAS BEEN ATTACKING MY CREDIT SCORE FOR. ALL THE WHILE THE PEOPLE OR PERSONS RUNNING THE PLACE HAS ABOUT FOUR 7 SERIES BMWS WELL OVER 100K EACH. STAY AWAY FROM PENNCO TECH.

I have absolutely love my experience with Pennco Tech! They are second to none, and the people who work there show you exactly why they are the top technical school in the area. Their dedication to the student body shows in everything that they do, and their curriculum puts you in a great position to learn from skilled pros who can help put you in a position to be hired quickly. Awesome school!

I love Pennco Tech! The Air Condition Heating Program at Pennco Tech School in Bristol is the best. The instructors are very knowledgeable and they care about the students. I recommend Pennco Tech Bristol if you are interested in a career in HVAC. Awesome school!!!

I enjoyed my experience at Pennco Tech! I joined the Electrician program in hopes of continuing the growth of my own business. My handyman background was lacking in the electrical department until my instructors helped me thrive. Mr. Spickler was a great asset in helping my professional growth. I utilized the Career Services department to help in development of my resume and Matt was excellent in offering advice on my next step forward. I would highly recommend Pennco Tech to anyone looking to get involved in a trade.

Pennco has an employee base that cares a lot about finding their students the best jobs that are available. They follow up with you on your resume and building interviews/relations with employers.

Update: I came here for the Pharmacy Tech program
at the Bristol location. It was a mistake. I left after 2 weeks.
The class was like high school. Not only was it like high school, I was being bothered and pestered by ignorant kids in that class, and NOTHING was done against them, no warning, no consequence . I came to that school minding my own business , bothering nobody, but I was the one being bothered and pestered nonstop. They have a policy manual on page 8 that states they will take action over people like that but they didnt want to lose their money. I reported an incident in relation to me and the directors have been dodging my complaints. I just submit a signed complaint form with the Department of education. They are currently waiting for this school to respond. If there is no response, I am looking into talking to lawyers. This "school" is lacking all types of discipline. Why would I stay there in that environment,. I felt like it was the Babysitters Club in that class. It wasn't indepedent learning. If you have brains and want to get into the pharmacy field, I suggest you go to Temple University's pharmacy program because what I went through at this school was A JOKE!

pennco is a fun light hearted environment that is easy to work in. i went through the electrical course which was a simple six months. the front office is very involved in trying to get you jobs starting as soon as you get into your last term. overall i am happy with my choice to come to this school and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start work in a trade.

I was promised a lot here as a student and found out that it was a bunch of lies and very over priced considering a degree at a college costs less and goes further.

Pennco Tech is an amazing school to attend, the staff is very caring and very helpful. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested in going to school for MAA.

Pennco Tech is a great school. I am about to graduate from the Auto Tech program. The teachers there are very knowledgeable. I d like to mention Mr. Homza. He makes complicated things very clear and understandable. The teachers and staff were always there for me when I needed help. I recommend Pennco Tech Bristol to anyone who wants a career in the Auto Tech field.
