My son has been a student for an online course for 3 months now and is having the hardest time getting help with his issues.
No instructors have bothered to reach out to him and help explain his struggles.
He is very confused with the material he is learning now and is very far behind on his studies. We are very upset with this school and I will expect someone to correct our situation.

This is a great program based on the NAPRA Competencies and CPTEA outcomes. Great instructors, lots of flexibility and easy going atmosphere for learning that still pushes you the ways you need to be challenged.
