NEW I went there early 2022 for the dental assistant course under Mrs. Cotton, paid for by the government. All I can say is that it irks me to think of the time and effort I spent there. The administration has no idea how Ms cotton ran her class, or they were purposefully defrauding the government and students. I walked away no better then if I had watched a few YouTube videos. The teacher was always late and confused, our course was cut by weeks and she rushed through everything barely covering 20% of the material. There was no feed back, no assistance on her part, she didn't care if you did the homework or not, or if you questions. Her attitude was you'll learn once you get hired. We never EVEN opened our book or course materials. On the last day when she literally tried to cram the exam, CPR and the X-rays all in one day, she literally gave the students all the answers to the tests. And of course she did this knowing none of us knew anything that was covered on the test and therefore probably wouldn't pass. They rely on the students passing to get the grant money. I was embarrassed to say I was certified at every office I applied. I went there hopping to better myself and get a job where I could earn a living wage. You do not walk out with the necessary tools to do that or complete in the real world, I would have been better off doing anything else. They are scam artists. read more

I took the Tri-Cities ROP course and I thought it was great and really helpful I would suggest this to anyone who is interested/not interested in this just because it really gives you and idea of what the program is all about. I wasn't sure when I first took it but after being in the class I turned out really liking it and the teachers were great and very understanding with everything. read more

I am disappointed and embarrassed at TriCities ROP w/their lack of advocasy and communication. 1) I called to ask if there is a CNA CEU class scheduled for today/Saturday (there was), yet the girl who answered the phone made NO mention at all about the class' room change! 2) Once at the facility, there was no sign on the door of the old classroom directing students to the new classroom. A simple piece of paper would have done the trick-but no, THAT was too much work or something! Far be it from responsible adults to post some directions on a door of the old classroom. 3) The restrooms were locked. Really ,can't even open ONE restroom? I had to chase down two employees-the first one stated he didn't know if a restroom was open & that maybe one 'over there' was, once I got there it wasn't, and when I went looking for another, the same guy came around the corner & unlocked it after being told to by the other employee! How inconsiderate and embarrassing! He knew I needed to use the restroom-yet even WITH the key he didn't open it. Maybe he was unable to, but he did NOT communicate "I have the key to the restroom but I am unable to open it (based on Policy & Procedure) w/o direction from a Superior. Let's find someone who can help us get what you need." NOPE. 4) Prior to the class meeting there was NO e-mail sent out NOR a Facebook invitation-yet you HAVE a DEDICATED Facebook page. 5) Prior to the class meeting there was no e-mail sent out via an e-mail blast. Yet I assume Tri-Cities employees...have e-mail. "Why yes, we do." THEN WHAT'S THE EXCUSE?! 6) The material was improperly organized. The employee at the photocopying center cannot orient the pages correctly NOR photocopy the correct documents. Why is this person working there, and who hired this person AND the guy w/the key to the restroom, AND the girl at the front desk who answers the phone?! Really, who is their Manager and why are these ppl able to get away w/their non-advocasy attitude in a Public Education setting?! Given the # of devices (computers, iPads, Smartphones, Facebook posts to the home page, FB invitations, Twitter, Instagram, TELEPHONES), as well as adult female employees (who are self-labeled as being 'Communicators' MUCH moreso than men), PAID EMPLOYEES (I might add-with free healthcare and pensions-I WORK in Healthcare and do I have health insurance-nooo, these disoraganized incompetent ppl are getting paid AND get free healthcare AND pensions), and last but not least, a staff that contains ppl who speak a number of languages, what is EVERONE'S excuse for not facilitating communication w/those of us who need CEUs? You CERTAINLY have the facility, staff, food in your tummies, jobs that haven't had a salary cut back to what wages were 8 yrs ago, and the equipment! Embarrassing. Paid adult Government employees reinforcing their incompetence. You should be ashamed and embarrassed, and if this was the private sector, be written up & yelled at for your flat-out incompetence and lack of proper attitude. Embarrassing, truly embarrassing. Please post your response and your interventions below/to your FB page. Note: The ONE good thing is the Instructor Rosie. 5 stars for her. She is an absolute gem, an ideal role model, and civil. read more
