Nontraditional students aren’t necessarily so nontraditional anymore, especially here at Pinnacle Career Institute.     Usually, nontraditional students are 25 years or older.  Sometimes they work full or part time jobs, and often have families.  Here at PCI, the majority of our students are considered nontraditional.    If you fall under this category, a career college is the right choice for you.  At Pinnacle, you only take one class per mod (module).  This way, you can focus on one subject at a time rather than juggling 5 classes at once.     We take the time to work with every student, no matter what life throws at them. Our goals are the same as yours: we want you to succeed and graduate. We are here to support you throughout school and will go above and beyond to help.    You are *never *too old to change your life! Now is the time to invest in yourself and your future.     Cori Fricke [Previous](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/how-to-stay-motivated) [**](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog) [Next](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/why-you-should-become-a-medical-assistant) ### NEWSLETTER ### CATEGORIES - [#Pinnaclecareerinstitute (69)](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/tag/pinnaclecareerinstitute) - [PCI (39)](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/tag/pci) - [#tradeschoolcareers (37)](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/tag/tradeschoolcareers) - [#HVACtradeschool (32)](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/tag/hvactradeschool) ### Latest posts [Missouri Fast Track Grant | Affordable Career Training at PCI](https://blog.pcitraining.edu/blog/missouri-fast-track-grant-affordable-trade-training-at-pci) **1-Oct-2024 [Can You Work While Attending Trade School?
