Southern Technical College – Sanford, Sanford | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I went and graduated from stc for welding. The program was a mess and calling is disorganized would be an understatement. I constantly blew up the student surveys and talked with the instructors. Nothing ever changed and was constantly given the escuse that they hadn’t taught the course before. The following statement should sum of the school. I graduated Feb of 2022, and so did my girlfriend. Yet, neither of us have ever received our degrees. The school has zero issue calling to hound us about whether or not we are in our field to get their placement numbers up. Yet we can’t even get them to send us our degrees we earned. I also ended up owing the VA money because of a paperwork issue that the school messed up on. After going back and forth with the school over the course of a year they still couldn’t get it right. So I opted to pay the money just to get passed this headache. Meeting my girlfriend at this school was the only thing that saved me from regretting attending. However, find a different school elsewhere. This one should be considered the poster child for for-profit school. Take your money and give you the bare minimum in return.

Also, alot of the five star reviews are submitted by the staff. Patsy is the director of course she’s going to give it five stars.

Update – my girlfriend is now my wife of two months! We still never got our degrees but gave up. I still get emails from them updating me on class schedules as though I’m still attending and didn’t graduate 2 years ago, so obviously I still stand behind my review.

When I read the few negative comments about this school, my mind is blown. I have witnessed first hand the student successes. I have spoken to students directly who have graduated and are working in the field. I have spoken to students directly who are currently in school that sing the praises of how much the faculty and staff support the student body when they were down and out and at their lowest point. The teachers push you, the director of education pushes you, the Executive Director pushes you. Sometimes the faculty and staff want to see the student succeed more than the student wants it and the faculty and staff go above and beyond to help these students finish college. The Career Services department at this school is amazing. I have never met anyone like Nancy and Vicki before. They are so willing to give their ALL to help these students get hired. They actually have a free food pantry in their office to make sure hungry students can eat, they have free clothes and I have seen shoes to make sure students can dress properly to interview. They have successfully job placed over 80% of the graduates in every single program. If a student does not graduate, it’s not because of the school. People need to focus on the 100 positive comments, not the 5 or 6 negative comments. Isolated events from mad students should not affect your decision to come to this school. Southern Tech in Sanford, keep doing what you are doing. I am impressed.

I did a goggle review yesterday,I don’t know what happens but someone delete it,so here were going again,Ashley treats me nice in the beginning, but then she’s start asked me,why you want to start now,why takes it so long, all the classes here are in English, cuz I’m hispanic,at the end she said I’m not so sure if you’re ready,what type of answer is that,so I told her ,give all the papers,my diploma and sorry for wasted your time,you’re so negative,instead of pushing people to do it,she’s the opposite, and let’s see if someone delete this review too
