School Notes:
- Pinnacle Career Institute has been delivering quality educational programs since 1953 when it first opened its doors as Electronics Institute, a technical college in Missouri. Mr. Jeffrey C. Freeman and Scott F. Freeman purchased the school on June 2, 1992, and began the process of diversifying the programs available on the campus. With the addition of programs in Massage Therapy, Medical Assistant, Business Office Administrator and Medical Office Assistant, the school changed its name in September 2002 to more accurately reflect the diverse educational programs - Pinnacle Career Institute.
- As a vocational school, Pinnacle Career Institute has been adapting to the times and the needs of our students. To this end, we began offering Associate degrees in 1987 to better assist students in reaching their career goals. We have also been very successful with career placement, as many employers hire Pinnacle Career Institute graduates.
- Pinnacle Career Institute has been training students to reach the "pinnacle" of their career opportunities since 1953. We do so by offering programs in competitive industries. We train our students to be successful in the areas of Business, Electronics, Medical, Massage Therapy, Personal Training and Computer Technology in Kansas and Missouri (as well as online).
- We offer two convenient campus locations (including one of the premier training colleges in Kansas City, MO and one of the best colleges in Lawrence, KS) and a unique online experience through which students can receive the training that will prepare them for great careers.
- Pinnacle Career Institute in Kansas City is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. Pinnacle Career Institute is approved by the VA to participate in a variety of federally funded education programs.
