Even if your course covers the same units, in addition to extra units not covered in their course, you will not get credit for it. On top of that, advisors will ensure they take as long as possible to respond to you. And who knows, they may not have responded at all if I didn't contact another staff member, as it makes them look bad when they are CC'd on the email. It's really sad that people can be so careless about programs that only operate once a year considering that the timeline can push back my education and chance at a career. Especially considering that I unexpectedly had to relocate to this state due to military orders and despite that, I prepared well in advance. I spent months preparing for this including taking & paying for the ACT (I only took the SAT in high school), gathering my transcripts, sending them over, and talking to academic advisors and program advisors, only for them to wait for the absolute last minute, literal DAYS before the program deadline for sonography to tell me that my transfer credits would not be accepted despite the course covering not only the same units, but even more advanced units than offered here. I'm so glad I took my time, money, and motivation to Troy University who accepted the same course that Trenholm denied, along with nearly all of my transfer credits. I also got set up with a program advisor and academic advisor who streamlined my process and helped me with everything I needed. I actually get mad whenever I hear Trenholm being advertised on the radio or billboards, because how do you have the time for that when you can't even dedicate a second of your time to help your students? Also, everyone knows Alabama needs more medical staff, especially more competent ones. Crazy to see how casual they are about this program, especially considering the next closest one is at minimum 1.5 hours away from Montgomery.

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.
