Your employees driving for JTA Connexion are exceptional. They are really the "First Responders"…read morefor all of us who depend on the Connexion for rides to keep healthy, fed and enjoy life. I cannot safe enough about how responsible and professional they are at doing their job. My quality of life has improved significantly once I started taking JTA. Please thank all of your drivers and let them know they are valued. They deserve more pay and to be treated like the First Responders were during the COVID-19 Pandemic when others were given free coffee, early shopping hours, etc. When there is a natural disaster, who do we call? JTA Connexion. Thank you for this opportunity.

Instructors- There are a couple of decent instructors. The others don't care at all about their…read morejobs or the education of their students. You would be better off taking the classroom days for diesel engine mechanics and underwater welding and just teaching yourself with textbooks online. Other important classes will be substituted with old episodes of Modern Marvels down on YouTube if the instructor doesn't feel like teaching, which is understandable. It probably gets pretty hard teaching all day when you're drinking four lokos out of a Gatorade bottle. Don't worry though, you can fail the final exam 4 times and still graduate. You don't even need to show up sober. Facilities- The deepwater training center at Ocala is an incredible facility and probably exactly what you picture in your head when you imagine dive school. Unfortunately you only spend two weeks there. The rest of the four and a half months is spent in a cramped school under a bridge in a dangerous part of Jacksonville. Hope you have a small class, or else you can look forward to putting three to four people to a cheap folding plastic table. Oh, I almost forgot. Every Friday your dive time/education is cut short so you can walk around the grounds picking up cigarette butts, picking weeds, sweeping floors and mopping. If you dare to think that's the job of the maintenance crew your tuition pays for you can look forward to being rolled back to another class in 30 days, or being used as a free form of labor for several hours after the school day digging holes, doing more cleaning, or any other task the administration doesn't want to pay somebody to do. Dorms/barracks- The school says they model the rooms to prepare students for life offshore. That is a pretty genius way to spend the bare minimum on living space for adults spending over $30k for a lackluster product. You can look forward to living in a cramped cubicle with 4 other grown men. Prepare yourself for the stench of dozens of filthy feet and tons of unwashed underwear. You can also look forward to having your dive/classroom time interrupted if one person in your class fails their daily room inspection. If you want to spend over $30k on a school that provides a subpar product, instructors that belittle their students and talk to them like they are children this is the school for you. If that's not what you're looking for, go to DIT in Seattle. I wish I would have.

I am currently a student at CDA. I will say looking at my choice of school I would not do it again…read moreever. There is an extremely large turnover of instructors, I have only been here 4 months and have seen at least 5 leave and new ones arrive. But dont think thats the only downfall of this institution they do whats cheapest for them the pictures and glamorous clear water shots are not what you will experience. They front their deep water facility at OCALA florida which is where you will spend only 2 weeks of your 5 months there. You will spend your time diving in 20ft of water in the trout river which is extremely dark and murky. Not only will you dive in this but every morning you will get up around 530am to come and swim in the cold water while having instructors yell at you if you have problems fighting the rough current. Of your 30000 dollar tuition you will recieve only 1 week of topside welding and then maybe two months later you will take your underwater welding test. This test gives you 16 tries to get it right with no prior welding practice up to that point. also with your tuition they fund their racing team and their huge propaganda campaign. They will Spam you with ads that if you come here you will instantly regret. If someone offered me my money back to leave this place I would. Do not believe their lies. You will regret ever coming to CDA technical insititute. especially once you spend 5 months living in sub par facilities. They dont care about you only your money. They will lie to you to get you to stay and nothing is ever done

Recruiters that we were told would be coming in and interviewing the kids. One company came in in my son's final month there. We were told someone would help them with their resumes and apply for jobs, give them insight into the field. Never happened. Don't waste your money! I am sure there are better options out there if you're interested in welding. Go straight to the Ironworkers Union. Skip Tulsa!

Was told he would be working with owner to improve his skills because and i quote "Tulsa welding school sucks and any welders that come out of there, can't pass a welding test to get hired". Well as of today he has yet to weld for this company . Used as a grunt to cut pipe EVERY SINGLE DAY. Has not welded once with his new job in 7 months, that he was hired as a WELDER for!!!!!
