After 35 years in this industry, I’ll admit I was nervous at first, but there was no judgment, only support and professionalism every step of the way. Educators are patient, encouraging, and truly wanted to see you succeed. Having multiple highly experienced and established educators review and confirm my work made the entire experience real, structured, and meaningful.
