What People Are Saying About This Course

“The class was everything and more. I learned so much and have been trying to use the skills to keep them fresh. Being able to watch the videos over until you get the concept is so helpful. I didn't use the discussion box much but you always responded quickly and could work out what I needed to do to fix the problem.” Kim H.

“I found the course easy to follow and really liked Marie's style. I learned a great deal and have added many new techniques to my toolkit. I will be using what I learned every day!” Susan G.
