| I’ve been so fortunate to complete my studies at CTC. I have been blessed with extremely dedicated and knowledgeable teachers who not only helped me grow professionally, but have also enabled personal reflection that has helped me deepen my faith. The content taught was relevant to my experiences in the workplace but also personally rewarding. I am extremely grateful to all the lecturers that I have had the pleasure of working with.
