Bellingham Technical College Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 234 reviews
I achieved an Office Assistant Certificate from BTC in 1998. The program included: basic math and English, written and oral communication, accounting, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and FrontPage, Internet research, typing and 10-key, resume writing and interviewing. I felt the program did an excellent job preparing me to start my career as an Administrative Assistant. The teachers presented clearly and answered questions. The facility was clean and functional. I used the library for research. The cafeteria was nice. BTC held Job Fairs and other events to help students get in front of potential employers before the end of the course. I was able to get a Pell Grant to cover tuition and books. College is a lot of work but this was a very hands-on and focused curriculum to get me prepared for work. I was satisfied with the outcome and am looking to go back to BTC in the near future to pursue my Associates (transfer) Degree in Business as a next step towards my Bachelors.
I am currently attending Bellingham Technical College, which offers great programs and is known for its informal courses taught by exceptional teachers. Unfortunately, I had to endure a four-year wait for the vet tech program, which was quite disappointing. During my time here, I encountered a mix of easy and challenging courses. Among them, the online courses stood out as the most effective and enjoyable for me.
BTC was a life saver for me.
I enrolled full time in the Construction and Management, 2 year program. I received a two quarters Worker ReTraining Scholarship. Then I applied for and received a Work Source Scholarship. I also receive a Women in Non-Traditional Trades Scholarship. I was accepted into Phi Theta Kappa, and was a Student Council Director.
Upon graduation I was accepted as an apprentice into the International Carpenters Training Program and build freeway bridges, college buildings, and even worked at a couple military bases and a refinery after bring vetted for high security work detail. I eventually graduated the Union training program and became a Journeyman Union Carpenter.
I went on to start my own sole proprietor business and have a solid, sustainable living.
I encourage women to train in non-traditional jobs to attain financial self sufficiency.
