Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot The food managerial and food certification instructor at T.S.T.C. was always ready to guide us through the text-book materials. He would answer all of our questions or concerns, and make sure we were practicing well. Our instructor also made us take practice exercises, showed us training videos, and wrote on the chalk board about the new law requirements. Even so, I got licensed to handle food and was able to manage food guidelines for working at a restaurant, or become a small business owner.
Did enjoy being here Not only is T.S.T.C. a federal fafsa approved school, but they can also work with students to find funding in the corporate and community education (CEU) programs. These programs consist of T.S.T.C.’s lowest fees starting by credit card of $79 for 6 weeks of training online to become an administrative assistant, business manager, physical therapy aid, and an optical assistant. They have over 100 (CEU’s) to choose from online; check-out that website: http://www.ed2go.com/tstcrgv/online_courses.html.
Bang for the buck While in T.S.T.C.’s food managerial and food certificate (CEU) program it cost me $101.00 dollars from my own pocket, and I was able to pay at the time when I held a full-time job as a sheet metal fabricator. So yes, I know that they have convenient low fees that work with any schedule for college students to apply; just click here to see where you can fit in: http://harlingen.tstc.edu/contedu/onlinecourses.aspx.
Tips for prospective students If you’re looking for a short-term career with T.S.T.C.'s programs just browse their online (CEU's), and even pay online by credit card, or learn online at your own pace. Most of these cool short-term careers start at the lowest fees of $79.00 dollars as you get educated online for 6 weeks straight. Or you can attend public classes with longer hours, and more semester training time. They have lots to choose from as in: medical billing, medical coding, business, law, teacher practice, and to become a veterinary assistant I, II, and III, or more to choose from with a low fee of $79.00 dollars, for the 6 weeks short-term careers online. They also have mid-term and long-term careers with semesters as low as 4 semesters, 6 semesters, or even a full 8 semesters.
Great for these types of students T.S.T.C. is great for just about any college student that wants to pursue a career in the short-term, mid-term, or even long-term learning fields. These academic programs consist of the medical field, agriculture, technology and communications, engineering and manufacturing, health and sciences, and transportation and aviation, and more. Here’s a website so you can browse your college education selection, and instructions are given for each criteria: http://harlingen.tstc.edu/Careers/index.aspx

Categories Rating Comments Tips for prospective students TSTC is a great place to start for anyone wanting a higher education. There is many programs offered here that only take two years. If you want to further your education even more than you could easily transfer to a university or just go across the street to the university center, where you can earn a bachelors degree. Its a great place.
Academic Rigor Right now I am just finishing my basics. I don't think the work is too difficult but it does require dedication.
Food and Dining I love the food here. Its doesn't really vary much but its good and cheap.
Clubs and Activities There is actually a good amount of clubs here. They are all diverse and very unique.
