The Electrical course was exactly what I needed. TCAT could not have provided me with better instructors. Whether it was electrical theory or job placement, Jason and Kyle answered any and all questions that I brought them and even helped me plan out my testing days. The course is self-paced with book work and practical exercises in the lab for hands on learning, fostering an environment in which you get out what you put in. I cannot recommend this course enough for anyone looking to get into the electrical field.

This place is such a joke, especially the HVAC program. The students are required to be there in person, but they spend much of their time without instruction. They’re told to look busy. My student at least spent most of his time reading the textbook over and over again, but most of the students play on their phones because they’re bored. They rarely had any of the materials they needed to complete any hands-on training. Maybe other branches are better, but most of the programs at the Murfreesboro campus are a waste of precious learning time.

Information technology (evening)- I just want to say, I am very proud to graduate from here and I did graduate Early! My teacher was Brandon Davis and he helped me out with the studying and being a great teacher... I advice everyone that wants to learn to come and learn from here and get those certificates!

They don’t pick up the phone ever. I even left 3 messages in the span of 2 weeks, & was never called back. I ended up driving over 40 minutes to visit in person for basic information/questions that could’ve easily been answered over the phone.

I recently completed the nursing program at TCAT Murfreesboro, and while I haven’t taken my NCLEX yet, I wanted to share my personal experience for anyone thinking about joining the program. To be honest, this program is no walk in the park. It’s intense. We had 2 to 3 tests every week, most of them around 100 questions. It takes a lot of discipline and consistency to stay on track, but if you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll graduate with a strong foundation in nursing. Ms. DeBerry, the head of the nursing department, was one of the most supportive people throughout the journey—and she’s incredibly honest. I often had to double-check my average with her, and let me just say: if she tells you you’re in trouble, start digging. She won’t sugarcoat your progress, good or bad. But that honesty is something I respected deeply. Her office was always open, and she made sure we had a wide range of clinical experiences that prepared us for the real world. Now, speaking from my own point of view—as an African living in America—I personally felt discriminated against on several occasions during clinicals. These instructors were not part of the school’s full-time staff, but the experie
