Training that Articulates for College Credit

While most companies and students opt to pursue the AM/IST 1, AM/IST 2 or AAS Degree Programs, a variety of manufacturing-oriented technical short courses are available through the Industrial Maintenance Training Center of PA and its partner schools. Most of these programs articulate to college credit, meaning that if the student successfully completes the course and later decides to pursue a degree program, appropriate credit will be granted without requiring that the course work be repeated.

Below is a partial list of the available courses that may articulate for college credit.
