  7. Shay – BOERNE ISD (verified owner)

    I wish the presenter would not have simply restated what the book already said. It was stated you need to purchase the book for this course, which I did, and read, but then all she did was reiterate exactly what the book said. It did not keep my interest and was difficult to complete because of it.

  8. Stephanie – BOERNE ISD (verified owner)

    I liked that I could complete it at my own pace.

  9. RIZWANA – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

    Great training! Yes!
