Pennco Tech does not use Distance Education, or online learning, as a primary delivery method for any of its course content in any Program/Course offered by the school. We will ONLY use online training for your lecture material in cases of inclement weather and/or pandemic issues. Pennco Tech uses Microsoft Teams as its delivery system for online classes when used. If you do not own a computer that has a camera and microphone, the Education Department will offer you the opportunity to sign out a school-owned laptop, and your Instructor will train your class on how to use Microsoft Teams for those times it may be needed, as discussed above. Course descriptions may be found at the back of the catalog. 34
