Graduate Stories

What our graduates are saying.

CTI gave me the skills and confidence I needed. I passed the NCLEX-PN on my first attempt and started working within a month of graduation.

Graduate — LPN Program
Now working at a Brevard County hospital

In 6 weeks I went from no healthcare experience to a certified CNA with a job offer. The instructors actually cared if you succeeded.

Graduate — CNA Program
Employed at a Palm Bay nursing facility

The hands-on welding lab is the real deal. I came in knowing nothing and left with pipe welding skills that got me hired immediately.
