Technical Education Guarantee

In collaboration with the Technical College System of Georgia and other technical colleges in the state, Georgia Piedmont Technical College has established curriculum standards with direct involvement of business and industry. These standards serve as the industry-validated specifications which allow Georgia’s 22 technical colleges to provide a Technical Education Guarantee. The Technical Education Guarantee states that:

“If a graduate from a standard program and his/her employer finds that the graduate is deficient in one or more competencies as defined in the standards, the technical college will retrain the employee at no instructional cost to the employee or the employer.”

This Technical Education Guarantee applies to any Georgia Piedmont Technical College graduate who is employed in the field of his/her training and is in effect for a period of two years after graduation. Georgia Piedmont Technical College graduates or their employers who see a need to inquire or to file a claim under this Guarantee should submit to the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs a written request citing the graduate’s name, student identification number, program of study, and dates of attendance along with a description of the deficiency. The Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs will review the claim and take appropriate action.
