MEET OUR INSTRUCTORS

Well presented. I was worried about being bored, but was not ever during this class. He is so nice, so knowledgeable and so encouraging! I could not ask for a better instructor.

Mr. Parker was an excellent instructor he kept the class very fun and exciting while still fully covering everything. I felt great going into the final exam knowing that he had done such a great job teaching.

Bill was a very informed instructor made a lengthy subject seem short and conveyed information very well. Very concise, showed a great understanding of the material. Explained everything clearly.
