History

Branford Hall Career Institute was originally founded and incorporated in 1965 by Nelson Bernabucci, a Connecticut state-certified business teacher dedicated to preparing individuals for successful careers. The institution was granted initial approval by the Connecticut Department of Education in 1969 to organize as a one-year proprietary business school offering full-time diploma programs. In 1977, Branford Hall Career Institute was accredited as a business school by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, and in 1993 its jurisdiction transferred to the Department of Higher Education. In March 1993, the ownership of Branford Hall Career Institute was transferred to CEC Partnership, L.P. which has continued the legacy of fostering Branford Hall Career Institute’s development as a leader in career training.

In January 2002, CEC changed its name to Premier Education Group (PEG) and began expanding access to quality technical schools in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Branford Hall Career Institute opened an additional branch campus at 995 Day Hill Road in Windsor, Connecticut, on September 3, 1996. In November 2007, the Southington branch campus opened at 35 North Main Street in Southington, Connecticut.

Since 1979, Branford Hall Career Institute students have benefited from a steady flow of necessary curriculum changes to keep abreast of market demands and associated technological advances. Students continue to conquer the challenges of their programs due to the support of faculty and staff devoted to each student’s academic and professional development. Throughout the years, Branford Hall Career Institute has enjoyed a reputation of quality career training in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut and integrity in its operation.
