I enrolled in ToT about five years ago and pursued other work outside of education for awhile. When I turned back to the world of teaching and got a job at a local charter network, I was told that I should transfer to another program (for reasons unknown to me.) I got a transfer request form and submitted it to ToT. That same day, I was told by the prospective ACP at an info session that I was too close to getting my certification and that I should stay enrolled in ToT. I sent ToT an email that day and also called them. When I called them, I spoke to a man named Jeremy who told me that my transfer request had been successfully cancelled. The next day, I got an email from another program advisor named Shelly-Ann saying that my transfer request had been completed, and as such, I had been removed from the ToT program. I called again and sent more emails after hearing this and was told that if I wanted to re-enroll with ToT, I would have to start the entire process of getting certified all over again. At no point in the process of doing all of this did ToT reach out and advise me the same way the representative from the prospective ACP did about my status. Now I am about $3000 out and needing to basically start from scratch with another ACP. Poor organization and no consideration to circumstance, just canned emails and stupid procedures that exist to cover this organization's backside. They've also been close to losing their accreditation many times. Find somewhere else. Only 2 stars because my field supervisor was a wonderful woman.

I started this program in September, and I noticed that when they requested my transcripts, I had my school send them the same day by email. It took them 2 weeks to get them. Meanwhile, they were sending me messages, asking for the transcripts. The enrollment advisors were professional and helpful for the most part. I studied a total of 5 practice tests. Four of them with Mometrix, and one with Pearson. I asked one advisor if any of the practice material would be on the actual test, and she told me that the Pearson practice test was supposed to be close to the actual Visual Arts test that I would take...but it WAS NOT! I was able to score 95 and above on all the practice material, but none of the questions that I studied was on the real test. The questions on the subject material was totally different from what I was studying. I basically had to guess the best answer on at least 90% of the test. I studied hard, and put a lot of time towards studying for the past 2 months. I haven't seen my scores, but I knew when I was taking the test that I would fail. There is no way that I'm staying in this program.

Google luck. This company has changed so much over the last 5 years. i recommend looking at all options.
