My experience with NTCC’s Funeral Service program was a phenomenal experience from the start!
My experience with NTCC’s Funeral Service program was a phenomenal experience from the start! Since I was already a licensed funeral director and had been out of Mortuary School for over 10 years, Ms. G was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, patient, and helped guide me on the steps needed to obtain licensure to become an embalmer in Texas.
Mrs. Scott was also very helpful and easy to communicate with when it came to my class schedule. She even offered her guidance and recommendations on how many hours and what classes I needed to take each semester to ensure that I remained a full -time student for FAFSA purposes. The rest of the NTCC FSE staff (Mr. Davis, Mrs. Shurtz, Dr. Lares, Mrs. Toews, and Mr. Schmidt) were also extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to teaching the curriculum associated with funeral directing, embalming, and crematory operations.
The online program allowed me to learn remotely and at my own pace and for this I am extremely grateful! I was able to work full time in a funeral home, serve my apprenticeship, and still was provided with the time I needed away from both school and work.
Lastly, I must commend every individual associated with the NTCC FSE program. They really made it a priority during every class and every semester to let us students know that they cared, prepared us for the NBE’s, and made it a priority that every one of us succeeded! As a result, I was able to pass both my NBE Arts and NBE Science’s on the first try and obtain full licensure 2 months after graduation!
Thank you NTCC!!! You guys are truly the best!!!
