Certification Student Experiences

Jump On It!

Adeha F.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. If you are lucky enough to be able to take it early in your career, JUMP ON IT! I came across it late in my career, but even so, it has clearly extended the time I will be able to do what I love and fed my excitement and enthusiasm about what I do. Not to mention it made me more effective! Nearly 30 years of CEU studies. This was the best by far.

Great Teacher!
