Students Testimonials
My son has been going here for over a year. The staff has been spectacular. The receptionist was very helpful when I called looking for information. They have been professional with trying to get these kids through school.
This is a great school to attend. That is my HONEST opinion. There are amazing and knowledgeable instructors here. I've completed the Automotive program already and am now in the Welding program.
A great place with great instructors. From the front office to the classroom, the staff is nice and friendly. When I walk through the front entrance, someone is always ready to help and make sure I get what I need.
Amazing school with a family-type vibe and atmosphere. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a good trade and wanting to do something different in life. ~ Sincerely, thank you Tidewater Tech.
My grandson is in his third week of a 21 week course to earn his A&P certificate. He loves it and despite his concerns, the instructors and people go above and beyond to do what is necessary for him to graduate.
Aviation Maintenance isn't for everyone but if you're interested then don't hesitate to come and give it a try. Great atmosphere as well as great people trying to help as many people towards success as possible.
AIM's advisory help is top notch. I felt encouraged and understood from the moment I spoke with my admissions representative. I was sincerely guided academically and personally all the way to graduation.
Definitely a great program. If you put in 100% you will get 100%. This is not a "lazy" kind of school, you have to work for your grade. If this is what you like you will have no problem and classes will be a breeze!
The online learning staff and instructors were absolutely amazing. Very hands on! As an online student, I had access to everything on campus, including events, the library, student services and career services.
My daughter went to Centura College. She loved her instructors and the school! Now, she has a good job in the healthcare industry, makes good money, and is planning to pursue her RN starting next year.
Great staff and instructors. They really want to see you succeed. I recommend this school to anyone who is trying to find a career that could eventually result in retirement.
The campus is clean and well-stocked with supplies, the environment is positive, and the teachers are very considerate and passionate. They communicate very well if you respond. I am overly appreciative of my teachers from 2022–2023.

Why Choose Us?
We do things differently at our college and that’s why we get different results. As professionals, we believe success is a habit and not a destination. Students who learn the same successful habits that have been applied by many people who have come before them, often find themselves repeating and exceeding these same levels of success.
