TCAT Murfreesboro is attempting to scam students into paying for and attending an unannounced and unnecessary trimester of school ( four extra months). I am a currently enrolled student at TCAT Murfreesboro in the electrical and plumbing technologies program. From the beginning of my time at the school I have been told that the program would be 12 months long. The official website states that the program is 12 months in length and Student Services has told me the program is 12 months in length. The school is now claiming that the program is 16 months in length because of a mistake that they made on their website. Additionally, the school requested for an extra trimester of financial aid without informing us students until it was to late to cancel it, meaning any student using financial aid will be forced to pay for and attend this final trimester or be forced to pay back financial aid. The cherry atop this pile of trash is the completely incompetent Student Services and the school president Patrick Wade. They have both apparently lied to me and every other student about the true length of the program, our instructor didn’t even know. The schools Student Services have been nothing but a nuisance, every interaction with them has been unpleasant. I do not recommend anyone go to TCAT Murfreesboro they do not care about students or teachers, only how much money they can make off of them.

I am currently about 3 weeks into enrollment for HVAC night course and its honestly amazing the first full week was mostly bookwork safety yknow but during the second and third week we started to get hands on with brazing and soon soldering and such and the classmates are very helpful. Another really big thing I’m really looking forward to is the fact our teacher is getting grants and such for us to be able to get a lot more certifications that most other schools would not offer (thanks Mr.T). Now the only bad thing I can say so far is that there is only one instructor for over 30 students that are dived between 3-4 rooms, now we do have an assistant on Wednesdays and Thursdays and that really helps. We have also already had a meeting where we could talk to the principal and vice principal and they have said that they plan on soon getting another teacher for days and night classes also getting a full time assistant. So the higher ups are definitely willing to listen and hear you out, I don’t know yet how much they’re going to do this was all recent. But yea the school is clean very friendly administrators and many helpful programs and such.
