“This program is a great opportunity to get into a solid trade, ahead of the game, with the knowledge you need to excel in the field. I have learned more and leveled up a lot since Forsyth Tech. but would not have gotten here without the foundation provided by the school and the dedicated instructors who teach what you need to succeed. Shoutout to Dr. Woods, Roby Lambert, Mr. Mabe. I knew nothing about welding when I enrolled, now I run my own welding and fabrication company here in Nashville, TN. Thank you!”
