With more than 50 years of experience collaborating with industry to make KPC’s process technology one of the most highly regarded programs in existence, students get cutting-edge academic and experiential experiences from highly qualified faculty. The program is administered from KRC's state-of-the-art Career and Technical Center with simulators and equipment on par with current industry standards.

Since many students can be living throughout Alaska, 48 states, or offshore, KPC offers video streaming of courses, allowing students to view classes from their place of employment at their leisure.

This program is based at the Kenai River Campus. The bulk of the program can be taken online, however a few of the courses have hands-on labs that are taught in a lab intensive method to minimize trips to campus. Many working adults have successfully completed this program. Most of the courses are also offered face-to-face at the Kenai River Campus in Soldotna.
