    I took the Woodworking Introduction class with instructor David Hecker and had a really great…read moreexperience. This was exactly what I needed to get familiar with a professional woodshop and all the essential tools. The class accomplished its main goal perfectly: giving beginners hands-on experience with the equipment in a safe, structured way. Over two Saturday afternoon sessions (3.5 hours each), we made a simple candle holder while rotating through practically every major tool in the shop. We used the sliding compound miter saw, jointer, planer, table saw, band saw, router, and various sanders. While the project itself wasn't particularly exciting, it was clearly designed to maximize tool exposure rather than create a masterpiece. David was an excellent instructor who prioritized safety above all else and patiently answered every question. The class size of about 10 people felt just right for getting individual attention. The woodshop itself is impressive with a fantastic selection of professional-grade tools. Parking was easy and the classroom was simple to locate. At around $150 per person, it's not cheap, but felt reasonable considering you're getting access to thousands of dollars worth of equipment and quality instruction. Just expect to get covered in sawdust! We had plenty of time to complete our project without feeling rushed. This class is perfect for complete beginners who want to learn woodworking basics in a supportive environment. It's specifically designed as a safety prerequisite for their more advanced classes where you can tackle more interesting projects. If you're thinking about woodworking as a hobby or just want to try it out, this is an ideal starting point. I'm definitely planning to take more classes here.

With that in mind, I was presented two options for industry-leading knowledge providers...and I chose Product School. Why? Because from the moment I engaged with the PS team, I was presented with timely, accurate, and relevant information pertaining my anticipated role and how they could assist me in being better prepared. At no point did anyone there "guarantee" me anything - which was much appreciated on my part. The financial admissions process was straightforward through a third-party lender and I was admitted into the upcoming course within a few days. A flurry of emails went out within a few minutes of acceptance and on-boarding was completed digitally in minutes. Now to the important stuff - how was the actual course? In short, it was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate to be surrounded by incredibly capable and engaged fellow learners and led by Rocky Sharma as an instructor. During the five days we covered all of the basic level skills required to understand the PM role and Rocky routinely placed us into learning groups to validate our theoretical concepts. If this were a course that lasted another week, I'd gladly make the time. I feel a lot better prepared now for my upcoming interview as a Product Manager and am looking forward to seeing how and where my new alum network goes in life. It's been a great week and I would recommend this course to a lot of folks considering starting a company, all the way to the potential product manager role!

    I am stingy in review, so I'll put 4.5 round up to 5…read more I did a thorough research in the area for Korean learning. I have a busy schedule at home and at work so committing to a weekly in-class session on weekends or weeknights is almost impossible. I wouldn't be able to catch up on homework in addition of my business travels. Besides, a lot of local schools are for younger children. For adults, a lot of them are tailored to college enrolled students or business travel. Very few are made for recreational study, and offered in-person classes. 1. Flexibility - zoom classes Luckily, Adroit College offers online zoom classes mix with in-person sessions, which solves half my problems! I can call in zoom anywhere in the world. My quizzes and assignments are handed in online. Most class work and notes are shared in Google classroom. If you miss a class ? there is the zoom recording where you can rewind the dialogue many times! This helps studying in my own time. Flexibility is the key! 2 Focus on fundamental Dr. Koo is a traditional teacher. If you believe most teaching these days says 애 and 에 are the same pronunciation, you will definitely get a different perspective here. Dr.Koo is solid in her knowledge. She is flexible in her teaching but meticulous in her standard. There are many online courses preaching the easy way out, which ignores small differences because people will 'understand'; but I find that knowing the fundamental of words , pronunciations and expansion of some simplified forms of writing, helps expanding my gramma structure and easily pickup new gramma without coerce myself remembering all these rules. They are indeed very systematic if you understand the basic. Thanks to Dr.Koo 3. Friendly , small classes I must admit the progress is rather slow with a bunch of easy-going learners like us. You need to be discipline and review your course every week. Homework is not heavy. Quizzes are take-home style. You work on your own pace which is perfect for my circumstances as a mother of 3. If you are expecting spoon feed highly stressed get it done style, this won't be for you. My classmates ask a lot of questions and so do I. I try to practice a few lines of causal conversation every class randomly to my teacher or classmates. In other Korean schools, you will not have these opportunities.. Their focus is to rush through the curriculum so you get your exam or TOPIK1 soon. Learning is rather secondary in those Korean schools. I find here is friendly and teachers are patience. 4. Anything bad? yes, that's where the .5 is. The school is not as nice as you see in De Anza college. The cultural activities are not as vast as some of other ones. That's mainly due to the smaller enrollment and smaller Korean community here compare to SoCal (Irvine, OC). It is a chicken and egg question. I believe when the reputation grows again , there will be more participants and after class activities will be more fun. I look forward to this day! Overall, I highly recommend Adroit if you truly want to learn Korean differ from traditional schooling. They offer kpop, conversation only, and many special classes fitting for your learning goal. This is not a dry boring school where my kids will deter from learning their mother tongue. Come for a trial class and you'll be the judge !

However, the instructors at Adroit have been accommodating, thoughtful and helpful. They really take the time needed to making sure the student understands new concepts before rushing forward. Thanks to them, I did not give up and have since learned so much. Since Adroit only teaches Korean, the student has many more focused opportunities to learn about Korean culture through events around Korean holidays and supplemental courses. Virtual learning was already set up prior to COVID-19 to help those of us who had to travel for work and couldn't be in class in person, so when lockdowns hit, no classes were missed. In fact, more classes were added, such as Korean cooking, TOPIK review and K-Pop Songs, which helped pass time during lockdown tremendously. Overall, my experiences with Adroit College have been nothing but positive. I highly recommend this institution to anyone learning Korean language and culture.

The class size was nice and small which allowed for individualized attention. There's hands on lessons and practice which keeps the class engaging. The instructor was upbeat, attentive and smiling throughout. We each received a manual and a certificate of completion at the end of the course. They also offer snacks, coffee, tea and water throughout training to help keep you awake. I walked away with valuable knowledge of beginning excel and they also offer a help line if I ever need assistance. I can also come back and re-take the class for no charge if there is room in the class. Someone in my class said they offer 50% discount for those who are unemployed. For approximately $250 a class, 50% would be a heck of a deal.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I was with this course: it flew by; the instructor was awesome (patient, thorough, patient, knowledgeable, patient); the material she covered was exactly what I needed to know with no fluff; and the examples/practice lessons were relevant and actually fun (did I say fun? who knew making pretty graphs would be cool?) I no longer fear numbers, sums, charts, lists, printing spreadsheets, or being asked to fix formatting nightmares. I learned that F keys are useful for more than holding your pen on the keyboard, and to embrace the words 'function,' 'formula,' and the "auto sum" key. Did I mention that they let you retake any course as many times as you want, for free, no time restrictions? Observations: * The place is really clean * The staff is very polite and helpful * Debby Brown, my instructor (and former 4th grade teacher) was totally awesome * The classrooms seat no more than 15 people (from what I could tell), so classes are small * The bathroom is clean (hey, it matters) * They use Microsoft 2007 (but also offer 2003), and the computer stations are clearly maintained: keyboards, chairs, and tables were spotless (what is nastier than a funky keyboard?) * Parking is plentiful I will be back. Thanks Debby!! :)
