    The school offers a condensed teaching schedule that really drives the core topics of your trade home. They are quick and efficient with your time there with very little downtime. With the strict deadlines and the heavy course loads you will find your self, more times than not, busy during the entire school day. The classes stay on the smaller side always keeping the ration of instructors to students 1:22 or lower. In my current program, the ration lowers the further in the program you get. All the instructors are well knowledgeable and are able to break down the difficult to learn topics into easily understandable bite-size chunks. They do this as well as keeping an expedited timeline meaning that studying at home will be a must to achieve high marks.

    In the Electrical program, I have instructors that will answer most of my question that I needed in order to understand. We always do hands on training and go to sites to experience the electrical field whether it'll be industrial, residential, or even commercial. This Vocational school have great staff members that can guide to what you need on financial aid, housing, employment, or even benefits. Of course there are scholarships at this school and can be obtained if you attend Perry Technical.
    I am currently an electrical student at the Perry Technical Institute and have enjoyed every moment of this school's program! I'm not sure how other programs are at this vocational school, but I can tell you that the electrical program is a great one to pursue. From my understanding, this school is well known across the country and is rated one of the best vocational trading schools in the nation. Furthermore, from personal experience I believe it is, indeed, a fantastic school.
