Good teachers, embarrassing back end operations
With one exception I found the teachers to be fairly good and the knowledge imparted relevant and in depth. The school’s back end though is absolutely pathetic. Good luck if you ever need help w student financial aid, grades not being posted, them changing your class schedule around last minute etc etc etc. I graduated over 3 months ago and still cannot get a copy of my diploma despite numerous times reaching out. I had to reach out to the financial services 20 times and finally contact the head of campus to learn the person I had been working w had quit over a month earlier and nobody said anything and the link on the student portal still directed you to their contact info. Absurd. I would NOT reccomend this school to anyone, waaaay too expensive to have to be constantly chasing them, poorly functioning tech and embarrassing practices. The running gag was it may be called TriOs but it was FAILos much more often…

I, personally, regret attending this School
I realize the people that read this need to understand that I am 'only one voice', but take it from me, I completely REGRET attending this institution. I enrolled in the Addiction Worker course (2023), initially very excited about the prospect of investing time and money to learn how to advocate for these people that have been marginalized. I had found the curriculum (in words, textbooks, etc.) helpful, but, in short, the delivery was extremely sub-par - often, literally, sitting in class, and hearing the instructor read every slide ... no comments, etc. ... just reading. The level of professionalism was, also, sub-par - far too many instances to count, where the management of the people and those that were in-class, was, to be frank, unprofessional. I felt the subject-matter was not respected (across the board) and was often glossed over with very little attention to the fact that these subjects need the attention and respect they deserve (namely, sexual assault, drug overdose/death, etc.). Aside from all of this, the way in which there was little to no preparation for the internship - and a policy that there could not be any helps to aside in finding PAID internships (!). As a Family-man, the only, the ONLY reason why I enrolled in this course was to support my Family and to have a bright future for them ... this school, it's philosophies, handling of the material, policies, etc. ALL pale in comparison to what it says it does for you (taken from their website): "We specialize in hands-on education and training to have you job-ready ... Join the triOS community and let us help you build a brighter and more rewarding future." Do NOT enroll in any programs at this school. Don't waste your time and money!
