In my first year I graduated the Accounting Certificate program. It was such a good experience that I decided to keep going! The staff at TSC are so knowledgeable and ready to assist at any given moment. You won’t find that at other schools where you can feel lost and like you’re only a number. I was able to grow personally because of the immense support from everyone. Overall, the best two years of my life!"
