Best Trade School Grand Rapids Near Me

clear as water: Great welding teacher

Madison McCauley: KCTC is an amazing school designed to help students and give them opportunities, but the office ladies… not so much.I and multiple students have discussed our dislike of the two ladies in the office. They’re often rude, unhelpful, and act like we are a nuisance when we come in. If they help you it’s only half-a** and with a lot of sass that often ends up leaving you feeling bad for even talking to them.The school is amazing… I just think this is an issue that needs to be addressed because now I don’t even want to go to the office for help and would rather struggle on my own.

Tyler Passino: I'd recommended that any student who gets the opportunity to go here do so.

Shelley Funk: I went to their annual flower sale where the students sell flowers grown by them. The students are extremely helpful and the prices are great.

Zuriel Jansky: KCTC is a great experience and opportunity for any one who is in High School and would like to do some career exploration. KCTC is the place for you. I went to KCTC in my senior year of High School. I took the Intro To Hospitality course, Mr. Henderson was my instructor. And he was a great instructor all around, both in the bakery and in the kitchen. I am forever grateful for the experiences and opportunities I got to witness and experience during my time at KCTC.

Loki is best anti-hero: Just came from an open house, friendly staff and students!

Al Lenhart: Great CPR class.

Gretchen whitmer sucks: Twelve years ago I went through the computer repair/information technology program back in 2009. I will say that I have the skills to pay the bills but everyone uses a smartphone and not a computer. Present day I paid off my bad debt of a student loan and I am in a job not remotely related to IT. Where can I get a refund for the past 10 years of paying on something that I could of learned for free by watching youtube? In anycase the refund isn't going to happen and Grcc feeds its students blatant lies saying they will find work in their chosen field. It didn't work for me so spend your money wisely.

Jamie Hamming: Career Counselor, Jeff Byrd did an EXCELLENT job with the tour! Great school.

Robert Deford: I went to apply for their welding job training program for the fall of 2015, but was told they had openings for the upcoming class. I had the majority of money for class already, but was hoping to find a weekend job before I started. My GF convinced me to go thru with it though, so I was rushed through the application process a week and a half before their job training program started.First problem I had was that, financial aid took two months to get back with me and, someone failed to enter me into the system correctly, so they had no record of me even taking any classes.Second problem was that, their banking service(Nelnet) never charged me for the classes and, even though I brought this up to numerous staff at the school and to Nelnet themselves, nothing was done about it.THEN, since "I didn't pay" for my tuition, I wasn't supposed to get the certificate of completion for the course and, yet I still freaking got it!!!!Not only that, but it was required that I waste my time going to hour long "lessons" from Mi Works staff. That's 18 hours of practice time that I lost to hear about some BS information that I either knew, didn't care about, or affected me in any way.It's taken them a year to do anything, even though I've told them NUMEROUS TIMES about the issues and, instead of contacting me to resolve the issue, they sent the due tuition straight to collections!
