Testimonials

“This was a very informative course – one to help refresh the ‘basics’ since I took the certification exam and obtained certification back in 2008! The ability to interact despite being a virtual course was valuable…and I learned a lot from the questions and answers, especially from fellow professionals in totally different fields than mine! I would definitely recommend this course to all certified professionals as a refresher.” – CBCP, USA
