Colonel Jesse Boulden is the real deal... part drill sergeant, part motivational speaker, part dad‑joke champion. By day three, we were marching in formation, eating like champions, and saying 'yes sir!' like pros. I came home with more confidence, a louder voice, and way better posture. If you want a place that pushes you to become a man--this is it. 5/5, would absolutely let Colonel Boulden yell at me again!

My step mom passed away January 19th, just before the semester started. I thought I could stay…read morefocused but I was struggling, even with work and life in general. Tried to get a tutor, they scheduled me with a girl who was tutoring for her first time. She couldn't answer anything on my homework right, this rendering me with no help to pass this class. So I drop the class to avoid taking an academic hit...decided to seek God and come back the next semester stronger. I even sent the school proof of my stepmoms passing. They confirmed. So when I returned to retake the class for the new semester, would you believe they are charging me double what the class is worth. In 2018 I reported fearing for my life because I was in a domestic violence situation. I told my psych teacher, he wanted nothing to do with it. He tried to send me to an office on the other side of the school and this man was circling the parking lots looking for me. When I took English here, I was able to prove their system wasn't receiving the assignment I sent, and they failed me out of that class because this issue occurred specifically on the final paper. That teacher ignored my emails and I lost my FAFSA support for the year. This school is by far the biggest let down I've ever heard of. May God have mercy on all your souls, and I hope you're never punished for mourning. I hope no one ever treats you all like you're treating me. And to the rest of you, go to school literally anywhere else.

My daughter had scholarship money , VA money and Pell yet they still said she owed money. My husband went and paid the balance up for only a week later for her to be taken back after break to be told she needed to pay 500 more to get back into her room. She got another noticed 3 days ago saying she owes 1500 before she can return after spring break . There was still no breakdown of where her aid and VA money was applied. Also when we did the tour we were told that the meal plan was included in the dorm cost.In actuality, it is a additional charge that is forced on them.They don't have a choice to buy their own food. Today we got to my daughter's dorm a little later than check out due to having to stop to care for my asthmatic baby and traffic . We got her stuff out in less than an hour yet an RA rudely approached us stating that her account will be charged for late fees. They tell them if they stay during a break it's 25-50 / day despite the fact that they have already been charged tuition. She told us for less than an hour past check out it would be 600 .what kind of math is that?I told her why we were late get her she made a face as if she had zero concern . I guess she wouldn't care with the fact that she has occupied an RA position and 2 other campus jobs despite my daughter and others being told that there aren't jobs available . With Pell they are supposed to be offered work study jobs if they apply which she did and still hadn't got place yet this RA has 3 jobs make it make sense.Oh and the campus safety is a joke within the last 8mths they have had a shooting ,a lock down after a threat, as well as drug searches including findings of drugs in one of the rooms today.If you want to throw money away and not know where is going by all means go to TJC. I myself know there are Junior colleges and colleges with less cost that are cheaper and actually explained without hidden fees .Also my daughter had good grades and due to this was eligible to fast track yet grades with her and other including athletes don't matter. In fact, some athletes were told to give up time for academics in order to keep athletic scholarships. Like you are supposed to want students excelling in academics . On the other hand you can be failing and stay here with no worries as long as you are willing to pay all the random fees .So much for good grades and hard work paying off. Have money or parents who do. SO BACKWARDS,BY THE WAY, THIS IS A BRIEF PART OF THE ISSUES WE'VE EXPERIENCED .

Highly Recommend! Ready for my CDL A Test…read more I am just getting ready to test out next week for my CDL A license, and I feel incredibly prepared, thanks entirely to the staff here. My instructors were all exceptionally caring and patient throughout the entire process, which makes a huge difference when you're learning to handle such large equipment. I received a lot of valuable drive time and yard time, with a huge emphasis on working on my crucial back up skills. That dedicated practice built my confidence immensely. A special shout-out to Instructor Bill--he is truly amazing! He was excellent at keeping us focused and "on our toes," ensuring we were attentive to every detail needed for the test and future career. If you want thorough training that ensures you know your stuff, this is the place to go. Thank you for making me test-ready!

Due to the quality instruction, I not only easily passed the 5 exams I needed to take for my certification, my own knowledge of crane operation has greatly increased thanks to the instructors ample patience and taking the time to answer the constant barrage of questions from me. Whether you're new to cranes or bring your own experience to the table but want to learn more than you already do, they're very accessible and happy to share their knowledge. I'm 50. Been out of any kind of schooling for quite awhile. They were able to teach me. Ha ha! They also have a few different cranes out back in their craneyard that you get plenty of time on. And the ladies in the front are so helpful too. Really, a great experience.

This school sucks, the students don't want to be there, the staff don't want to be there.

Go up there during class time and ask a student, any of them will tell you the same thing I'm writing.

2 1/2 stars. I graduated from Remington in 2010 with a certificate in Billing and Coding. The…read moreteachers were fantastic and most of my classmates were great. That's about where it ends though? You don't have any set program. When you get in you learn whatever they're teaching that month. Which means the person who joined one month after you is going to learn something you never did the month after you graduate. I know it's a 9 month program and they need to rush information into you, but I feel there should be something set so you learn the main things you need to know for the field! Like during my last month we actually learned about coding and some computer stuff..! The people who left before then or started after probably never had an 'hands on training' before graduating. To add to the other review, the main guy running the place at the time only seemed to care about cramming anyone he could into the school and not really giving two shakes on what happened to them or if they were really meant for the program. I know schools needs to meet a minimum, but I could only see dollar signs in his eyes and nothing more. Also, kind of adding onto my first paragraph, with so many students graduating EVERY MONTH, that means there's at least 10-30 people every month entering the job field at entry level. That's a lot of competition and unless you know someone or get damn lucky you're going to be hard press finding anything that isn't minimum hours. Also, don't trust them when it comes to 'helping' you look for jobs. They send you Craigslist, Monster, etc links that you're already looking at! And randomly throw in a few links that have nothing to do with your field.. or the medical field for that matter. I think in the almost year they were sending me emails only 1-2 emails contained any job offers from direct companies that were asking for graduates from the school and ones similar. (So you have an actual shot!) Pretty much, this school is good if you want to learn a new skill (well, get a basic idea for one with how the program is set up), but don't put all your hope into getting a better life. Like with most colleges, you'll be hard pressed. I just think with this one you'll be even more so since so many graduate each month and not just once a year. Things might have changed since I graduated, but from what I've heard it hasn't. Just be careful and have a back-up plan. (I got lucky and a friend put in a good word at her job for me. I'm not doing exactly what the program 'taught' me, but it's close enough to get something in the field later on. I hope anyone entering the program has the same luck.)
