I took the Engineering Technician course in 2019 and was part of Cohort 12. TCI has got to be the…read morebest school that I have ever attended in my life. The staff and instructors actually care about their students so if you feel lost they are always there to help you out. The Engineering Technician course took about 4 months to complete. It really is an accelerated type of course that teaches you the basic fundamentals of being an engineering technician taking you through so many lessons such as mechanics, electrical, automation, pneumatics, troubleshooting, blueprint reading, just to name a few. They really take you through so many subjects and it is up to you to figure out which subject you want to focus on. When you find out you let your staff and instructors know... they will lead you in the right direction I guarantee it. With this certification you can literally go to any industry and any related position to the course. It really is up to you whether you want to be an engineering technician developing medical devices or an electro-mechanical technician ensuring a production line is running... the possibilities are endless! Anyways, the Engineering Technician program is meant to give you a hell of a jumpstart in your career and I really am thankful for who I have met and worked with along the way whether they be students, staff, or instructors. I still take classes here and there ever since 2019 because that is just how good this trade school is. TCI FOREVER

Never stop learning…read more I visited recently to support a few interns that are with my company. The program they completed was 600 hours. The college provides hands on training and job placement which is excellent for people looking for opportunities when they come up by being prepared for the job market. This fun yet rigorous learning environment gives the students knowledge for everyday use. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this option for people seeking to enter the engineering workforce or for someone looking to learn something new.

Warning! If you get Professor Holly you should switch to the other Professor ASAP. Overall the…read morecurriculum and CNA experience itself was mostly up to date for the state exam, but Holly did not have answers for many questions that myself and other students asked. She even gave us false information and when I provided her with the right answer she gave me attitude in front of the whole class, only to be corrected by the headmaster the next day and not apologize to me. Under different circumstances I wouldn't care much to have to deal with Holly treating us like middle schoolers the entire course, but I paid over $2,000 for this course; in the least they could have competent professors.

I took the 21 weekday CNA training program with Ms. Lauren. Lauren is an amazing instructor who was…read morevery helpful in every way. She has had tons of experience working in the field, so you know you're in good hands! The theory portion of the class was fast and somewhat vague at times but it all made sense once we got to the skilled nursing facility for our clinicals. My instructor was on the floor with us everyday during clinicals. The first day was a bit overwhelming but over time, I felt very comfortable interacting with patients and performing skills. By the end of the clinicals, my classmates and I felt more than prepared for our test. We were lucky that our state exam was scheduled the day after we officially finished the course. Everyone in my class passed!! Shoutout Ms. Lauren for being the best instructor!! This was such a great program and I would highly reccommend it to anyone looking to get certified or gain hands on experience/hours for PA/NP/Med School etc.!!

But downsides is there's a huge loan you must pay and some courses you take they can improve on hands on teaching as a lot of it is to much book work. The bummer part is if the course is not for you your still Forced to pay back the loan. It's still a solid school Depdning what career you go for.

Completely unprofessional, you don't learn anything. Linda Berry also will not help you with placement. Very useless. They're not here to help you! They just want your money. They do not prepare you to take the NHA exam to get certified either. For your money they just give you a "school diploma", which is worthless. This school lets anyone join and pass. You'll have people come 2 times a month & pass. Literally a joke. Go to PIMA or anywhereeee else.

This is the absolute worst experience and school I have ever subjected myself to. Having attended…read moreother schools for California licenses, I would have never thought a school could be so bad. I should have known when the office workers changed so abruptly that the school was ill managed. Very little in class prep, no explanation of the process or what the steps are within the curriculum, basically you will receive a binder and you are on your own. I recommend going to Golden State or do your research for one that focuses on the student. All they care about is signing you up, getting your credit card and they will try to sell more and more products. Other schools will provide 24 hour access to practice tests, this company wants you to go into the school because they are afraid someone will steal their tests. They will provide online access to study materials, but for a short period of time so they can sell you more. Save your money and find a better school!

Palomar College Cabinet and Furniture Technology is one of the top woodworking schools in the…read morecountry. They offer classes and degrees for everything from wood carving and wood turning to cabinet and furniture making. They also have one of the best Guitar Making Technology certificate programs consisting of 9 classes and 26 units. The facilities and instructors are amazing. I love that each class is project-based, so you end each semester with an heirloom quality piece of woodwork. Palomar College CFT has their own lumber mill, and they partner with the city to turn tree waste into unique and usable lumber. That makes it the only place in the world where you can get specialty woods like Torrey Pine, and it's only available to students in the woodworking classes. The CFT100-Woodworking Fundamentals class is the pre-requisite for most of the other classes. Students usually build a pendulum or mantel clock for that class while learning woodworking basics along the way. I took CFT100 as a beginner and learned a ton, but even seasoned woodworkers have said that class is worth taking and learning the "right" way to do things. I can't say enough good things about the people running this program, from the instructors and teaching assistants to the fellow students, they are a joy to work with and learn from.

Pretty fun I did a year and was very fun and a very great learning experience great time.read more

That pricing makes the program completely out of reach for many middle-class families. At nearly $4,000 a month, especially in Orange County where families are already struggling just to cover rent and basic expenses, it feels pretty outrageous. I really hope your team reconsiders the cost of the program or offers more affordable options for working families. Programs like this should be accessible to more kids, not just families with extremely high incomes.

The school is very good and secure, but it follows a modified 4x4 block schedule that divides the…read moreschool year into 2 semesters. Students take 4 courses during the first semester, and the other four during the second semester. It sounds better than it works. If your child is planning on taking AP classes, he/she may get AP classes in fall and forget the material by the time she has to take AP tests in spring. This sheduling also means less time spent on each subject comparing to the schools with a regular schedule. Students are rushed to get all material covered. If you missed a day or two, it's very difficult to catch up. In regular schools, students take six, seven, or eight periods a day throughout the entire school year, and take their AP tests in spring.
