What Students are Saying

If it hadn’t been for the online courses that PTC has to offer, I wouldn’t have been able to start when I did and I wouldn’t be as far along in my degree as I am now.

Piedmont Technical College
Abigail Hershberger

Even though I have class deadlines, learning online allows me to work at my own pace, and it’s more flexible for people like me who work full time and have a busy schedule. I would definitely recommend online classes to prospective students especially those who want to attend college but have personal life obligations at work and home.

Spartanburg Community College

One of the challenges I faced with picking a college was finding a program that worked with my schedule. As a fulltime firefighter, I knew I would struggle with being able to take classes. TCL offers a flexible schedule and I was able to complete 90 percent of my classes online.

Technical College of the Lowcountry
Ross Vezin

In my online classes, I met people who were both my age and older, so it helped me adjust to the variety of students.

Abby Pilgrim

I took the online classes so I could be with my children when they get out of school. I have never taken any classes online because I am a hands on learner, but I found that I was able to do the work on my own time when I was not busy. I would definitely recommend this type of class to other students.
