Trident Technical College

You are on your own if you attend online. It takes entirely too long to get questions answered. My instructor is currently out of the country with limited internet and cell access. Why take the job if you're not going to be there to teach? The online environment is all over the place and difficult to flow through. You are given your assignments, and reading material and told to ask classmates questions if you need help. I don't recommend it to anyone who is new to a subject. Only if you are taking... Read More remedial or refresher classes. Or even classes directly for employers and the local job market, that's it.

I would recommend not attending this institution. You will 100% be teaching yourself. The seven week courses are insane. I started with an introductory science class that left me with hundreds of definitions and concepts to memorize within 4-5 days at a clip. All of your quizzes need to be 100’s or they become zeros. This course was made out to be much more difficult than it needed to be. Trident sets students up for failure. I would expect this level of difficulty in a higher level science course,... Read More but not an introductory class. For someone who has not been in school for over seven years I would recommend an 095 class or attend an institution that does not present like a grad school. This is not an institute you want to attend if you have a family and work full time. I truly felt the lectures and material did not reflect the exams. Avoid this school if you want to succeed. There are so many other schools worth your money, time, and dedication.

Do NOT attend Trident Technical College outside of looking to ONLY do undergrad classes in order to transfer. The Nursing program is unfortunately full of instructors who have no idea what nursing is today. In addition they do not teach valid material for practical application or to assist with ensuring students are prepared for exams. Since the move to online for COVID restrictions, the teachers rarely respond to email and when they do, it's to tell you to find it yourself. Their common answer is... Read More for the student to read their book. You will be required to teach yourself and there is no assistance or compassion for any of the students. They like to use words like, "dedication, drive, self-starter" and others to dress it up but in a nutshell, you teach yourself the entire program. Choose a different school! You'll be grateful you did. I spoke with a friend who is nurse practitioner and is on the Nursing Board at MUSC. My friend stated Trident Tech makes their program way more difficult than it should and recommended another school but we decided to go this route anyways. It was a mistake. Choose your path but Trident Tech should not be the one for you.
