The BTI Difference

We help you find the career that’s the best fit, and provide the necessary support and education to make it happen. Simply put, we know what employers are looking for and tailor our career programs to match the fastest-growing jobs both nationally and locally – this is the BTI difference.

At BTI we believe in a combination of classroom education and hands-on, practical experience. This method encourages you to both learn and apply your knowledge, which we believe is one reason our graduates are employment-ready.

Berks Technical Institute offers a variety of programs that can help you launch your career in as little as 18-24 months.

Knowing exactly what you want to do after high school is tough, but we’ll be with you every step of the way. Once you enroll you become part of our family, and your future is important to us.

Find The Career That Best Fits You

Schedule a visit to our campus (parents are welcome, too) to take advantage of a career assessment tool called Personality Profile: Understanding Yourself and Others. This analysis can help you define your personality traits, gain a better understanding of yourself and choose the career that best suits you. Contact your BTI High School Representative to schedule your free analysis.

Career Services

Our Career Services staff will provide you with the necessary tools, skills and confidence you’ll need to succeed, for your first job and beyond. In fact, we believe in staying connected and offer continuous support throughout your entire career.

Will My Credits Transfer?

While BTI has transfer agreements with select colleges, it is ultimately the decision of the institution accepting the credits.

Advanced Standing

Applicants may request to challenge classes by taking a challenge exam. Applicants can save up to $3,360 if they pass the challenge exam with a score of 85%.

Financial Aid & Scholarships

We help take the mystery out of Financial Aid by exploring all options available to you based on your eligibility. BTI offers five types of scholarships: President’s, Dean’s, Imagine America, Technology and Pennsylvania New Economy Scholarships.
