    "The class is in your face engagement. The instructor knows how to bring real teaching issues to the class room and force you to sink or swim your way to success. A few laughs here and there and reassurance of a solid foundation from which to lean on long after class is dismissed, really made this class worth every penny. "

    "This is not simply a checkmark in the box type of course. Josh delivers high quality instructor training and you will leave a much better and more qualified instructor once completed."
