Brittany Kaseoru
Our industry is designed so that our integrity is in our own hands, this training is one that raises the bar for all of us. My CDT training covered a lot of this but I felt like we really blew by so much of it. This training went into depth, we really dug into the topics.
Misrak
It was what I was missing. This training covers a very wide range of subjects, and I have learned a lot. Everything seems to fall in place for me, and all that I am doing makes sense. I am credible.
