TESTIMONIALS

“This course is great as either a first-time student or a refresher - I had taken a course previously (8 years ago) and learned a lot from this course and the instructors that I did not learn before. The online format and learn-at-your-own-pace design really allows you to soak in the information you need to learn and ultimately use.”
