What our Graduates are saying

I would like to say to the staff at STVT, thank you so much for all your help. I appreciate it so much. You have no idea what an inspiration and motivation y’all have made on my life and my daughter’s life as well.

STVT Corpus Christi, Dental Assisting Graduate

“This program is a 10-month program. We keep everybody on the same page. We don’t let anybody fall behind. There’s a lot of information being thrown your way, but like I said, we want everybody to be on the same page. We really stress safety, because electricity can do some harm. The torch as well, it burns at degrees I don’t even know, but it’ll burn through metal, so it’ll burn through your skin. Safety is very important for us, especially here in the lab.”

I was helped in so many ways. You know, I couldn’t be more grateful and blessed, you know, to have the staff here at STVT – the students that I was with and my instructors. It couldn’t have been any better.
