I went to PTI…got a great base IT education along with a good idea what each aspect of the IT industry is like. Not sure what the faculty is like now but from what I’ve seen/heard there was a big shake-up. My class was the first to go through the Oakdale campus upon its grand opening, our faculty was top notch and easy to work with although most students became very unforgiving in terms of maturity issues, I didn’t lose any sleep when they dropped out. It was like losers from Moon 13th grade blow-off session with a few exceptions, the people who actually cared and wanted to learn.
Also, don’t get too caught up in the cert.'s . I know a few “All-Stars” that had their CCNA’s/MSCE’s before we graduated ended up installing point-of-sale machines then eventually getting out of IT all together after school, therein being a big waste of time and money. It was like a big contest to see who could get the most cert’s for their resume/portfolio…not the right mindset to have.
