Greater Altoona Career & Technology Center in Blair County

Nice school...learning!

Always loved going to school here, I went here when I was in high school for Administrative Office Specialist, now currently the Medical Assistant adult program. The staff is excellent and I feel that this school prepared me more for life than regular high school. Definitely recommend going to school here, and price is reasonable to go, if you are looking for a fast pace program and be on the job into the next year, this is the place to go. Wouldnt go or trust no other place this much. They also offer clinical certified medical assistant (Ccmaexam through the NHA there, and I highly recommend.

Fun

A tremendous School and a tremendous value for starting a first or second career in fields that are in demand in Blair County. Great teaching.

Very nice facility but could get lost

I did not enjoy coming here for 2 years it sucked some Instructors where nice but some where not so pleasant to deal with at all i hope to not go back thank you covid for getting me out for the rest of the year so I wouldnt have to deal with that place 😊

Great services at the cosmetology Mrs Wakeland is amazing super friendly & the class is wonderful

My son just completed the Adult Education Program for Auto Tech.Great teachers and school~

Disappointing experience. Overloaded students with “busy work” of pointlessly repeating the same assignments because of lack of course planning. Very disheartening to hear your instructor repeat “ I don’t know how to teach that”, makes you wonder what your tution is going towards. Especially when all the equipment you train with is either expired or broken. Constant backstabbing and undermining between the instructors. No purpose to having the secretary, Mrs Hedgedus. all she does is make photo copies and stocks candy, poorly. Again a waste of student funding. Most of the instructors have an attitude for not knowing what they teach poorly or are just outright wrong. But don’t worry, if you can’t keep up your grades up, they push you through anyway. At least until graduation to collect your tuition, and then flunk you out. And I say this as someone who passed the course with honors, but witnessed women run out in tears due to this dishonest practice. Save your money and time and go to a real college. Hospital generally don’t higher practical nurses.

Extremely nice school, the greeters are amazingly helpful just like the teachers. The class rooms are nice and clean for the jobs and lessons that are needed to be preformed. A lot of classes are offered here it is worth to check it out.
