Southeast Technical College Reviews

Southeast Technical College is the smart way to start a career. Throughout my journey at STC, there were many instructors and advisors who were more than eager to help me stay on the right track for graduation and degree requirements. Many programs here are accelerated and fast-paced but I never felt overwhelmed or fell behind because of the support I had from my instructors and classmates. In addition, there are many ways to become involved on campus. Joining SGA on campus allowed me to meet new friends and develop leadership skills. I also became an active member for my program's student organization and developed more important skills and relationships. Overall, my fun and dynamic experience at STC has allowed me to grow into a productive student and has prepared me for my career.

Late last summer my family moved from Arizona to Northwest Iowa. I had to make fast college career decisions due to the move. Southeast Tech did an amazing job getting me accepted and enrolled into the classes I needed on a last minute basis. I've appreciated the education and dedication of my professors to prepare me for my career in Diesel Technology. This spring, in the middle of the semester, I was diagnosed with cancer. Once again, the people at Southeast Tech did a phenomenal job helping me through this difficult time. They were very accommodating and helped me to finish my semester on time. It has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience attending Southeast Technical Institute. I would recommend this school to everyone.

The best decision I ever made. Going back to college is very hard especially if you are out of school for awhile, has a job and has a family to take care of. LPN program was very strict but it helps, prepare and shape you to be confident with your knowledge and nursing skills when you’re already in practice as an LPN. They have 100% passing for the LPN program and has a 100% career placement. They have the LPN-RN program if wanting to advance in nursing career. As a working mom, I couldn’t imagine doing a different career path than what I did to get my RN. It saves you a lot of money, time and gives you assurance for a job security after graduation.
