Alpha Beta Kappa is the only honor Society in the arts, sciences, trades, business, technical and general studies disciplines. Alpha Beta Kappa places chapters in nationally accredited institutions which have demonstrated high standards over a period of several years in the education and training of students in numerous fields, trades and occupations that are essential to modern society.

In 2003, PCI Health Training Center established itself as a local chapter of the Alpha Beta Kappa National Honor Society. When an individual is elected to membership in this honor fraternity, it sets him or her apart as an example of personal integrity and excellence. The major purpose of the Society is to encourage and recognize superior student academic achievement, character and leadership.
