Peterbilt Technician Institute graduates 75th class

The Peterbilt Technician Institute (PTI) program recently celebrated the graduation ceremony of its 75th class of students.

The 11 newly-certified diesel technicians join a growing list of PTI graduates currently in the workplace at Peterbilt service locations across North America. All PTI students complete a comprehensive 12-week training program led by dedicated Peterbilt instructors with a blend of hands-on and online learning using the latest tools and techniques to diagnose, repair and maintain Peterbilt’s products.

Each PTI student earns 13 Peterbilt certifications as well as certifications for both the PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines as they prepare for a career in the diesel industry. PTI is a collaborative program with Universal Technical Institute.
