>> WCTC for me was a really good experience that's a very challenging program,
the sciences especially.
The other regiments that happened within the program in surgical technology,
we have lab techniques that we have to be able to pass, and you have three opportunities
to take each one of these proficiency exams or skills tests.
If you can't pass it in three attempts, then you have to step out of the program for a year,
basically, until there, and hope there's an opening to step back in,
and then start over and try again.
But I will tell you that from the anatomy and the other sciences that we have to take --
microbiology and things of that nature --
I've compared them with friends of mine who are actually taking them at four-year universities,
and we compare notes, and the classes that I were taking were actually considered harder
by the students at a four-year institution than what they were taking themselves.
So the education here is really high quality, and they really do prepare all the students
who make it through the program to be ready to go right into the field and work right away.
