FROM THE BEST...

"The instructors are great. They're fun, share lots of real life experience, and give the class a relaxed atmosphere. The "real" scenarios and MCIs were an amazing shift in perspective from the stiff word for word surveys we practiced, to learning to apply it effectively in stressful and dynamic situations"
- Michael, EMR l503B
