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.
The administration is rather unhelpful and difficult to work with, but some of the instructors are amazing. It is a well-respected school in the area.
I loved all the great staff and how much they all really wanted me to achieve my dreams and graduate
I have experienced nothing but respectful and kind people to help guide me though the beginning of starting at this school.
I like the campus and the inclusiveness of students. They create many events to keep the students involved and up-to-date on current activities. The professors always go above and beyond to help their students. Location has a lot of opportunity for jobs if students need to work while in school. BTC has an amazing running start program to help students transition from high school to college with ease. The academic advisors are always caring and super helpful when you are undecided on which program you would like to pursue.
Bellingham technical College has been a amazing experience for me and I live close to the college so it’s in walking distance and the instructors are amazing and I’m learning so much.
Bellingham Technical College offers a wide range of programs to provide the student experience to head straight into the working world. Some programs are better than others, so make sure to do your research.
Bellingham is a great town to live in with an array of outdoor adventures to be had, Mt. Baker nearby, and great places to eat and drink.
The campus is safe and comfrotable. There is a trail that heads to the beach right out of the parking lot for a nice place to take a break.

Great programs, some of the best technical programs in the state! I would highly recommend it. They are all set to get you working right away with skills in your chosen field. Most professors are knowledgeable and skilled.
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.

Some instructors do it better. My math class was choppy and not easy to navigate. Psychology was a great online class, the instructor for that was great.
Enjoyed the staff and the classes. Would love if there was a bigger variety of language classes offered.
Taking online classes can be stressful but at Bellingham technical college teachers are very helpful at providing resources and set you up for success. They are quick to respond if you are having trouble completing an assignment or just need help finding something. Making online learning a positive experience.
I love the small class sizes, and that BTC is integrated with the local business community and can help me get a good local job after graduation.
The staff is so helpful and encouraging. I had so many questions when I started my college experience 20 years after I graduated from high school.From the counselors to the financial aid staff I have been so impressed with there knowledge and help. I have met many other classmates of all ages I never feel out of place. The diversity of ages, stages and experiences is a wonderful thing about BTC. My education that I have received so far has advanced my career. I-am continuing further in my education and the dean is so involved in the new programs I feel that this is why the school is so successful.
The online classes were easy to navigate, the teachers are helpful and are willing to invest in helping you to understand the material and expectations.
I love it here. Small class sizes and amazing instructors. They seem to always want to care and want you yo succeed. Plus the pricing of the classes are super chepa compared to whatcom 10/10 will keep going here.
This is a very good school with excellent programs! The professors are very good and helpful. My experience there so far is good. I wouldn't pick another technical school to go to. This one is a 15 minute drive from home. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about attending.
