YTI Career Institute offers Business, Culinary, Medical and Technology courses including: Business Administration, Computer Systems Specialist, Culinary Arts / Restaurant Management, Medical Assistant, Massage Therapy Practitioner, Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology, Motorsports Technology and more.

YTI Career Institute History

YTI is a private post-secondary institution of higher education serving south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The Institute offers degree programs, as well as programs leading to professional certifications and diplomas. YTI was established in 1967, when local businessmen in York, Pennsylvania, started a co-educational institution to train entry-level draftsmen in response to the expressed needs of area industries. The initial location of the Institute was on Richland Avenue in York. The first program was in Design Drafting Technology.

In 1979, the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (now known as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools & Colleges of Technology) granted its initial accreditation to the institution. In 1981, the Institute moved to West King Street in downtown York. It began offering a program in Electronics Technology in 1984. One year later, it moved to a location on Whiteford Road in Springettsbury Township, a nearby suburb.

In 1985, the Institute expanded its program offerings with its initial business programs. The Institute developed these programs as a result of market research showing the York area had viable employment needs in these fields. In 1987, the Pennsylvania Department of Education authorized YTI to award the Associate in Specialized Technology and Associate in Specialized Business degrees.

In the fall of 1992, the Institute leased additional classroom facilities at the Cyber Center on Pennsylvania Ave in York, and began offering a diploma program in Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Technology at the site. In the face of continually increasing enrollments and new program offerings, the Institute purchased 13 acres on Williams Road in Springettsbury Township and broke ground in the summer of 1994 for a new 60,000 square foot facility.

In July 1995, the Institute moved into its new campus and more technology programs were added.

At the beginning of 1999, another Associate in Specialized Business Degree program in Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management was introduced and in 2000, the Institute began offering a diploma program in Pastry Arts. The majority of the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management program and Pastry Arts program were offered at the Culinary Arts Center of Lancaster County Career and Technology located in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.

Due to the success of the culinary programs, YTI decided to purchase a 52,000 square-foot facility located at 3050 Hempland Road, Lancaster, PA, to accommodate its growing student population. Also, the new location provides the opportunity to add additional programs. In the fall of 2003, YTI closed the Mt. Joy locations and opened the Lancaster campus.

Due to strong market demands, the allied health division was created and started its first program, Medical Assistant in July 2004. Also in July 2004, the Public Safety & Security Administration (since renamed Criminal Justice & First Response) program began at the Lancaster campus. The Medical Office Assistant program started its first students in October 2004. Medical Coding was added in October 2005 and Dental Assisting in October 2006.

In 2006, the school changed its name to YTI Career Institute. Also in 2006, YTI purchased the Computer Learning Network schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg.

The Computer Learning Network was incorporated in Pennsylvania as the Computer Learning Center, Inc. in March of 1982, and the first classes began in July of 1982. In June of 1987, the Computer Learning Center, Inc. was purchased by Continental Training Services of Indianapolis, Indiana. Shortly thereafter, the name of the school was officially changed to Computer Learning Network. In February 1988, the school was granted approval to operate a branch campus in Altoona, Pennsylvania. In June 1992, the Altoona facility was approved as a free-standing private career school. On November 12, 1992, the school was purchased by officers of the school under the corporate name of CLN Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a Computer Learning Network.

Medical programs were added to the school's menu of programs in 1994. In 2000 the Massage Therapy Practitioner program was added.

Due to the success of the motorcycle program, YTI decided to open the Motorcycle Technology Center, a 15,000 square foot facility located at 52 Grumbacher Road to accommodate its growing Motorcycle Technology program.

YTI has grown significantly from its small beginnings some 39 years ago and now serves a population of approximately 1000 students at the York campus, 600 students at the Lancaster campus, 200 students at the Altoona campus, and 400 at the Mechanicsburg campus. The YTI schools remain committed to its mission of serving the career and personal goals of students and meeting the employment needs of business in the local region.

ACCREDITATION/CERTIFICATION INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

Accreditation is a voluntary process which may be undertaken by schools to demonstrate compliance with specific standards designed to indicate a level of education quality. SBC is institutionally accredited (accredited in total) by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (DOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). This indicates that SBC substantially meets or exceeds the stated criteria of education quality established by ACICS, and approved by the DOE and CHEA. This recognition of institutional accreditation by ACICS entitles SBC to offer Title IV Financial Assistance to students who qualify.

An additional form of accreditation that a school may undertake to obtain is a specific, individual accreditation of certain programs (programmatic accreditation). Institutional accreditation is not the same as or a substitution for programmatic accreditation. Although programmatic accreditation is not required for employment in many cases, the existence of programmatic accreditation is a further indication that a program meets the standards of the profession, and may therefore indirectly enhance employment opportunities. Also, in some cases, programmatic accreditation will allow the graduates of the accredited program to sit for some credentialing exams immediately upon graduation without any requirement of work experience.

The American Institute of Alternative Medicine | AIAM

About The American Institute of Alternative Medicine (AIAM)

The American Institute of Alternative Medicine (AIAM), formerly Massage Away, Inc. School of Therapy, was founded in September 1994. The school was an outgrowth of Massage Away, Inc., central Ohio’s largest therapeutic clinic that started in 1990. The therapeutic massage clinic’s consistent growth, overwhelming customer demands for their services, and the inability to find quality massage therapists led to the creation of Massage Away, Inc. School of Therapy.

The Licensed Massage Therapy Program opened with 14 students, and has since graduated over 700 students, with approximately 200 students currently enrolled in the basic program. The Tui Na Program opened in 2002 with 2 students and has graduated 4 students. There are 4 Tui Na students currently enrolled. The Professional Master's Level Acupuncture Program opened in 2002 with 11 students and has graduated its first class of seven students. There are 22 students currently enrolled.

In December 1997, American Institute of Alternative Medicine purchased and moved into their new building in North Columbus and 12,000 square feet were added in 2000. Their facility includes six lecture/labs, a spa training room, a student clinic with 12 treatment rooms, a retail area selling student books, supplies and therapeutic products, a library, kitchen, student and instructor lounges and administrative offices. They have a committed staff of 45.

In 2000, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT) accredited the school. AIAM was also approved for financial aid with the U. S. Department of Education and for the training of veterans, eligible dependents, reservists and the Ohio National Guard.

The new millennium brought in a new interest and direction for the school. In February 2001, owners Helen Yee and Diane Sater, along with instructor Lou Peters, participated in an extensive study trip to China where they studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tui Na at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This educational experience confirmed the need to expand the program offerings to include both eastern and western philosophies.

In April 200l, David Wang was hired to develop the acupuncture program curriculum. His 20 years of experience in TCM, along with his extensive experience teaching and practicing western and Chinese medicine in China provided the acupuncture program's sound foundation. A Tui Na program was developed in 2001 providing students the option of learning an eastern form of bodywork. Both programs opened to students in 2002.

The school made history in July 2001, when AIAM was honored with a visit by Dr. Haizhou Xie, renowned Traditional Chinese Medical doctor. In China, Dr. Xie is hailed as a National Living Treasure. Dr. Wang is a protégé of Dr. Xie. Dr. Xie was bestowed the Honorary Presidency of the school at a reception attended by physicians, practicing acupuncturists and students. A China tour and China study tour is led by AIAM each year.

American Institute of Alternative Medicine’s name was officially changed to the American Institute of Alternative Medicine (AIAM) in 2002. AIAM better reflects their mission. In addition, a Board of Directors was elected.

In August 2007, AIAM's Professional Master's Level Acupuncture Program was recognized with five years of accreditation by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). ACAOM is the US Department of Education recognized accrediting agency for the approval of programs preparing acupuncture and Oriental medicine practitioners.
