Southern Technical College - Auburndale — Attraction in Auburndale

Would not recommend, the teachers are good and the faculty is nice. The organization needs a good amount of work as they fail to inform you of many important aspects of the program. It wasn’t until the last month that we were informed after our 180 hr externship we must complete 250 additional hours of ojt before the year is out in order to get your permanent certification or else the one you get from completing your externship (temporary) will expire the next year. This is not very helpful to an individual who came to further their knowledge and is working for themselves which was expressed In onboarding, at which time this information should have been shared.

Campus is cool ,clean, and quick. The most helpful people to me were the librarian, the GED lady and some of my professors. I say that because the librarian was always willing to help with class assignments and my resume and didn't make me feel dumb and the GED lady always kept it real about the work field and what I needed to be successful even though I wasn't in her class. I felt comfortable coming to her about how I can continue my education because I always hear her talking to her students and approaching other students too. My professors were tough but they gave me the info I needed to pass my...
