Rude, rude, rude! Why would I give someone my money who treats me like crap? I jumped through hoops…read morein order to take a certification class, only to have it postponed a week prior to starting. Upon expressing my frustration, and then my intent to posts reviews about the interaction I had with the CO-OWNER, of all people (maybe that's why he thought he could just treat me like that), these are the emails I received from Bruce: This a response to the owners response: he wants me to feel badly about someone who had a heart attack- someone I don't know- instead of realizing we had a business agreement and feelings don't factor into business. Why the course was postponed is no concern of mine. The fact that I paid for the class MORE THAN A MONTH before it began and I didn't get what I was promised is the problem. Instead, this man continually tries to belittle me and make me look bad (he says I registered for the class less than a week before it began. I've included my email receipt so you can see what a liar he is). He's obsessed with trying to make me feel badly about a health situation his friend/employee is going through, and apparently he wanted me to mention this in my initial email. When I failed to do so and focused solely on our actual business transaction he took it as a lack of empathy and still continues to bring it up in EVERY correspondence (I don't think all 3 emails I posted are showing- he sent 4 so if they do appear I'll add the 4th). It's too bad he had a heart attack, but the fact that they didn't have anyone to step in or take over teaching a certification program for adults, who all have busy lives, is bad business. Period. As for the rest, Bruce's emails speak for themselves. If you want to give your hard earned money to people like this, have at it. There are way too many other programs out there who will treat you with respect and dignity, regardless of the situation. AND who know how to conduct business.

I can't imagine taking such a good sewing machine as well as my Serger anywhere else. They use a certified Bernina tech so you can drop off your machine at the store and pick it up when it is done, about a one week turn around. I planned mine for when I had an out of town trip planned so I wouldn't even miss it. I bought both of my machines from Studio Bernina when it was still located in a Boulder. More convenient for me but really the current location is fine too. Just plan to head out there when it's not too early or late in the day if you are using Arapahoe. I also bought both my worktables from the store, nicely customized for each machine. Nice set up if you have some spare space, especially when doing big or complicated projects. I also took some classes from Susan and some of her staff at the old location when I bought the machines. Extremely productive classes and very professional teachers. I believe some of the long time staff is still at the Studio. Many of the class topics are very advanced techniques beyond me but I've seen some incredible finished products on display.

My son and I had a bad experience with Colorado Driving Institute - CDI at 2850 Iris Ave # I2 in…read moreBoulder for driving tests. I feel this business has some unethical practices that need to be revealed, and stopped. In summer of 2022, my son took a driving test at CDI. The instructor Ed came back , said that my son made a long list of mistakes and failed the test. I asked Ed to repeat some of the details so I could write them down, he refused, and said he didn't have the time. He then said these to me and my son: "You can retake the test, but I'm not sure you can pass. " "I recommend you take this 2-hour driving lesson; after the lesson you are pretty much guaranteed to pass the test ." The test result came as a surprise because my son had a lot more practice than his older siblings back when they were taking the tests and they passed the test on the first try. I was expecting him to pass the test w/o issue. But given the fact that the instructor brought up so many issues, I thought perhaps the boy got nervous and totally messed up the test. I paid and signed up for the driving lesson. On our way home, my son was in tears saying that he disagreed with most of the issues the instructor brought up but he didn't get an opportunity to explain, or ask questions on his conclusions. He then took the lesson, and his impression about the lesson was that it didn't really offer anything new for him to learn. Took another test again with this same instructor Ed. After the test, Ed told us that my son failed the test again, and the issue was at one point his following distance was not long enough. Ed again recommended repeating the 2-hr driving lesson. I asked him for a copy of the piece of paper he used to record issues during the test; he refused and said the business doesn't do paper any more, and I'll get an email on the detailed issues found. But I never received any such emails for this test, or the prior. I decided not to take the lesson as I don't see the value of redoing the same driving lesson again just to fix the single issue on following distance. While I was waiting there during my son's test, I talked to a student who just failed the test with the instructor Ed. To my surprise his test took almost an hour while typically it'd only take around 15 minutes. Later my son took the test else where and passed on the first try with them. According to him, that experience was a lot easier than the prior 2 tests he took with Ed the instructor at CDI. The impression I'm getting is that CDI, and especially Ed the instructor, seems to be very much after driving lesson revenue. They go out of their way to make students fail. The DMV granted them the authority to provide an essential service of conducting driving tests for students. They conveniently abuse this power and turn it into their profit stream. I think their practices are unethical and must stop. DMV used to offer such service free of additional charge to the parents. Now parents will have to pay additional charge to the driving schools for such services. And again pay for repeated tests to some of these greedy businesses who prey on students. Does DMV reimbursement these parents? If not, do they get some kind of tax refund now that DMV is providing less service? Send your complaints against this business to this email at DMV. I was told by the lady at DMV that they treat complaints seriously and they do investigate and audit these businesses. dor_dmvcommunications@state.co.us

Everyone at RefactorU was great - the instructors, administrators, community engagement planners -…read morethey are all wonderful. RefactorU throws a lot of information at you in a short time, but in a really well-structured way so that you actually have time to learn it all, and learn it all well. I'm astounded by how much I learned, and how dedicated the instructors were to supporting our experience: from TAs who come in on the weekends to offer help, to being responsive when not-totally-kosher sexist jokes were being made in class (hey, it's the tech industry, right?). They organize events with employers and recruiters to help you make connections. They know they only succeed when their students succeed, and they are all about that. My only complaint is that, being as successful as they are, they have been growing a lot, and for my personal learning style, our class was too big. We had 33 people, so there were quite a few of us sharing the instructors' attention. It was also often a very loud work environment (33 people in one room), which for me usually meant having to choose between leaving and going somewhere quiet to get work done, or being in a room where I have access to help from instructors and classmates. Overall, I'm glad I went and really impressed by what they accomplish as a school. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
