Get In, Get Out, Get a Better Job

Not independently wealthy? Neither are we. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reach your career goals. Accelerated training certificates—offered in areas as varied as bookkeeping and pharmacy technician—mean you can become job-ready in one to three months. Or enroll in individual professional classes so you can position yourself for a promotion.

I have a background in accounts payable and a degree in business management. I saw that TMCC EPIC had a bookkeeping course and I wanted to update my skills. I’m so happy I took it! Everything made so much sense the way the instructor Donna Kamen taught it. Thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to seek a new job.

Take Time for Yourself

What have you dreamed of doing? Become a novelist, play the guitar or venture into the Nevada outback with the help of our talented instructors. Feed your soul; the yard work can wait another day.

The Power Tools for Women was so fun and practical. I loved getting familiar with the tools and making my own picture frame.
