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

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.

Richard Victor Mendez, Jr.

STVT San Antonio, Combination Welding Graduate

I heard about STVT with commercials when I was just sitting down one night. I heard a commercial about it – saw that they offered the dental assisting program – saw that it was just a few months instead of, you know, years and that’s something that really did interest me.
