Testimonials

"This was the right choice for me to stay on track and help guide my studying! In-person would have been great but I like the flexibility of the online class.

I really enjoyed the group setting. I feel like it helped me stay on track with my studying. Going over all the resources was helpful because there was so much and it was easy to overlook/miss …. Also, I did pass the test! So overall, very happy about everything :)."  —  Jessica Jones, RJ Schinner Co, Spring 2022

"I strongly feel that this course and the instructor set me up for success in being able to pass the exam."  —  Kristen Forseth - LiveWire/Harley-Davidson, Spring 2022
