    The training is very good...................the rest.................well..................many lies have been told, and no answers given to inquiries about those lies.

    Plan on substandard meals, and a place to stay with low morale staff that cares less of you because you are from "SRT." Like I said the trainings good, and that's all. I don't recommend it.

    Didnt attend their school, but sat in the orientation class. Women have a rough time finding trainers. Youll have a hell of a wait waiting for a female trainer. If you can tolerate having a male trainer, great.

    Reference SRT;
    1. you are put up in a hotel that has a non working closed restaurant (an old red lobster), you can frequent neighborhood restaurants though if you pay, for your own meals. The voucher system we will provide you with to eat is a lie.
    2. a working hotel bar where you can't even have a single beer on your time off per SRT's rules,
    3. a swimming pool that is full of cloudy water and brown dirty inner edge tiles that you can't swim in because 'replacement' parts are on order,
    4. a hot tub that does work,
    5. breakfast consists of oatmeal-hardboiled eggs-biscuits-orange juice-coffee every day (there's no variation),
    6. dinner is food that I am unsure where it comes from, buts its in trays with sterno flames under it every night.
    7. The only good meal is lunch that is ordered from one of the local restaurants take out everyday (except weekends). On weekends you get the stanky in house food-again.
    8. This appears to be an old Holiday Inn that was only kept up as needed to be kept up.
    9. All of the fire hose cabinets on each floor have NO fire hoses in them, for your safety. Housekeeping doesn't care about you, unless you care about them.
    10. The employees that serve meals for dinner make sure there is enough left over, for them to take home some of the food you are paying to eat. Tonight was seasoned rice, nasty meatballs, chicken nuggets, bean & carrots warmed, curly fries. More food was brought out because we were allowed more than one item apiece tonight, for some reason. I saw hot dogs, and chicken fingers for a refill.
    11. Recruiters will tell you that you will receive food vouchers, for local area restaurant(s) you can frequent for meals when you get here-NONE are provided.
    12. The hotel changed owners last month, and no morale exists with the employees that are all paid $8.00hr.
    13. There is a hotel shuttle that you are nto allowed to use, for 'personal errands.' If you need items you can walk a quarter mile to Walmart, etc., taxi it, or find a ride from a fellow student.
    14. Forgot, the hotel wifi is slower than dial-up. Remember dial up?

    The good; the instructors provided by the college-that's all that's good. They are top notch with lots of experience.

    The misunderstood: some students have been told to get their permits before they arrive-and do (a total waste of $$$), others have not, and get them here while in the course.
