The programs offered at PTEC are primarily designed to prepare students for entry into the job market or to give students the opportunity to improve skills and prepare for advancement in their current employment. An incoming student who has previously attended another accredited postsecondary institution may provide an official transcript for credit evaluation. Acceptance of credit completed at another institution will be appropriately awarded, provided they occurred during the past three (3) years. A student must present an official transcript from an accredited postsecondary institution and have the credits accepted toward the current program prior to enrollment in order to determine appropriate length of program.

Additionally, credit may be given for work experience after evaluation of skills documentation. Documentation of work experience that occurred during the past three (3) years must be done prior to enrollment.

Students may transfer between programs within PTEC after consultation with a counselor and completion of a new registration form. Guidance recommendations may include computerized assessments, shadowing, and/or an instructor interview to help the student make the appropriate choice.
