Generally speaking, Columbus Tech's staff is more pleasant to deal with and is more helpful in comparison to other schools. If you're a student, I recommend coming to Columbus Tech. If you're going to work at Columbus Tech, make sure that you communicate with your boss and you both meet each other's expectations, so you won't have any sudden or negative outcomes.

The material is there if you know how to teach yourself, but the staff and "instructors" here are…read morelittle more than cubicle rats and Yes-men. These people do not have the training or the interest to teach other adult human beings, and it definitely shows. To start the academic year off, Financial Aid and the VA Office failed to communicate properly for weeks, resulting in thousands of dollars being delayed for almost four months. Three of my classes were repeated/dropped due to classes not being held at their scheduled time (ending an hour early), instructors unfamiliar with their own material, or "slideshow teachers" - i.e., adults paid to read a PowerPoint presentation to other literate adults. One class in particular, Interpersonal Relationships & Development, saw three different instructors in one academic year before it ran itself into the ground. My major, Automotive Technology, crashed and burned about two-thirds of the way through, when CTC changed their attendance policy and people realized they'd actually have to show up for class if they wanted to keep their free money. Classroom numbers dwindled rapidly, and the lovely people in my department reacted accordingly - by cramming the remainder of their students into two shop garages and leaving them to fester as they tea-timed in their office. "Team projects" devolved into babysitting gigs, where the most responsible/devoted team member played mommy to a bunch of man-children. The actual class material for the Auto Tech program was barely that, with your $100+ book(s) being paperweights as you fried your eyes in front of a PowerPoint for two hours. Lunchtime trickled by, then you went back to carrying your "team" until someone came in and dismissed everyone for the day - leaving you to clean up the messes of 12+ grown men. There was no guidance, no one there to supervise or, in the least, corral the rowdy teenage students disrupting shop work/behaving unsafely. The salt in the wound came when I was asked, out of nowhere, for $40 to graduate. I was never made aware of any end-of-program fees a year and a half ago, and it really stung to have paid over $1,000 for an education I never actually received, only to be billed for a piece of paper I thought I'd been paying on this whole time.
