What Makes PGI Different?
PGI isn’t a traditional trade school — it’s a direct path into a skilled career. Our programs are built with one goal in mind: preparing you to succeed in the power generation industry as quickly, confidently, and effectively as possible. Here’s what sets us apart:
Accelerated 8-Week Training — Not 2 Years in a Classroom
Why spend years earning a credential when you can start your career in weeks?
PGI’s Field Service Technician program is designed to get motivated students into the workforce faster, without sacrificing the depth or quality of your training.
Earn While You Train — Not the Other Way Around
Instead of taking on student debt or paying expensive tuition, PGI students get paid to train. Our model allows you to build skills and financial stability at the same time, making career training accessible to more people.
Hands-On Learning With Real Equipment
Every day is a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on work that mirrors what you’ll see on the job. We train the way the industry works:
Live, in-field generators
Real service scenarios
