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.
I am overall satisfied with being a student here! I haven't started classes yet but all communication has been clear and I've had full support from the school in the process.
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.
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.
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.

Difficult. Difficult to get hold of an advisor, difficult to get your classes, and some instructors (electricians programs) were difficult to deal with. Your grades will go down based on whether or not you are liked and worthy. I tried to adjust myself, be more understanding, do an a better job and it did not matter. Grades are based NOT on merit, but on unfair predeterminations completely made up by your instructor, before they even know who you are. I got my degree. I stuck it out and in the end the instructor had been waiting (its a cohort and you stay with the same people throughout) to just mess with me one final time. My final grades were not close to my performance, or the grades posted to Canvas. This was a constant occurrence. He was harder on me, made up curricula on the whim and prevented/pulled me off of projects. It keep me from finishing some tasks. I'm tuff as nails and survived, but it is just ridiculous that I have to go to the dean for this.
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.
The staff is extremely helpful and willing to take the time to assist you with your needs. Smaller classrooms means more one on one with your instructor. Free tutoring is also available to all students. It seems most students are on a mission for a career but are willing to reach out a hand to help others succeed as well.
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.
The teachers here are extremely helpful and engaging. The only thing this school wants from you is to succeed.
I have had a great experience attending BTC. I particularly want to say that the Accessibility Resources Department is outstanding. I am so grateful that I've had the opportunity to attend Bellingham Technical College.
I've been attending Bellingham Technical College for about two years now. I love it here - especially the science department, which is where I primarily take my classes. The majority of the professors I've learned from care greatly about their students' success and spend a great deal of effort on their course materials. The hands-on experience of the technical college comes through even in humanities classes and provides an excellent method of learning in science classes. I can't wait to begin my program (surgery technology) in this upcoming fall quarter.
Teachers really care that you know your stuff and make it fun. By the end you have friends for life in your cohort and are more than ready to jump into your field.
