"For the cost vs. value, I cannot complain. The school was very educational and I have no issues acquiring a job with my degree."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Yes. For the cost, you cannot beat this school. I would recommend and have recommended this school. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | As far as I know, their standing in the community is good. I have had no issues when I tell an employer where I attended school when acquiring a job. |
| Program Quality | 6 | TNTC is a great school. The tuition is fair and the teachers are good. |
| Instruction | 6 | The teachers are well above average. They know their stuff when it comes to cars; they are all ex-mechanics themselves. |
| How Difficult | 5 | The course of study is about average, in my opinion. You learn both classroom and hands on. Hands on is obviously much easier. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Definitely more hands on for this program. I think some of the other programs are more book oriented, though, so I guess it depends on the program and on the instructor of the program. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | The options here are great. They offer weekend and evening options, summer offerings, and online options. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | I feel the resources are average or maybe a little better than average. Everything I needed was available on campus. |
| Social Life | 4 | I rated this a little below average, only because there were no sports teams. |
| Placement Services | 1 | The school's job placement and career services assistance in this school are pretty much nonexistent. However, it is not a big concern, as it is not an issue locating the dealerships and putting in an application. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | That is my one complaint; the alumni network and support is lacking to the point that it is nonexistent. |
