At Porter and Chester in Enfield, CT, our students learn-by-doing. This arms our graduates with a wealth of practical, hands-on experience.
Our instructors have years of experience in the occupations they teach and are carefully selected on the basis of their superior abilities to communicate this experience to others.
The employers of our graduates participate in the development of the curriculum contents. As a result, Porter and Chester's teaching materials reflect the specific needs of actual work situations, not just text book requirements.
