I have more faith in Erwin than I do PTEC. I went up to PTEC for SkillsUSA a while back and placed 3rd in regionals (which is from Tampa area to Coral Springs or so apparently). My school, SCTI, held the top 8 places. When I went to states, the first two places were also from SCTI (both kids in my classes actually), 3rd place IIRC belonged to Erwin. The only studying/preparation we did was a last minute hour long quick run through.

When you hear me claim of "ex-GM engineer" and "incredibly credible source", its because of my teacher from SCTI. PTEC itself didnt look too bad at all, but I'm not sure how good the teachers there are nor am I sure (more importantly) how much the kids that go there actually care to learn.
