Austin Free-Net (or AFN) is a nonprofit where you can really get to know your community!…read more The center provides computers and digital literacy classes to the underserved, as well as an IT program. There are a number of labs around the city in community centers, the M Station, Trinity, and the ARCH, to name a few. The staff at AFN are amazing!!! They really want you to come in and help them in the way that YOU want to contribute, unlike other volunteer gigs. As a trainer, I supervised labs, taught basic computer navigation skills and helped clients complete resumes, search for jobs and other resources, and apply for state benefits. In the office, I did research, put together events and public relations campaigns, and edited class curriculum. I also lent my hand in the IT dungeon, where all the nerds hang out. I would definitely recommend AFN as a place to volunteer. As the saying goes, if teach a man to use the computer, then he can use it to get a job. Here, you can actually do that.

The owner of this "establishment" Nicki Davey is the most rude and angry person you will ever want…read moreto meet. She went on a HUGE tirade against me for asking what restaurants in the area do not allow dine-in but are still doing to-go. She described me as selfish for accommodating my housemates, one of which is very high risk for complications if they catch covid, and the other works at a school where they will not let you work if anyone you have been around shows any signs of sickness, and they would have to get a covid test before they could go back to work. She would not stop attacking me, even after I explained and asked her politely to stop, it was quite disturbing to see, and I would not suggest anyone use her services for any reason. I also noticed that she has a complaint filed against her and her company with the BBB.

First off, this place is very hard to locate. So keep your eyes peeled. Its literally off Lamar and…read more183, but more ON 183, not so much on Lamar. Second, I paid for this class for my fiancé and I tried several times to contact the instructor to let her know this class was not for me, called her several times and sent several emails and she never returned my call or answered my emails. She did get my message though as my fiancé said she asked him about it to confirm. Docking a star there as I would have appreciated confirmation straight from her. My fiancé learned a lot and felt the class helped him. The class is small, at 15 or so. The instructor kept the class engaged; she will ask you to participate but she also has videos to accompany her instruction. She keeps you very informed about alternative transportation in the Austin Area should you need some sort of DD.

Mike Shenk and his team of tutors are top notch! Mike is very careful about the tutors he hires as…read morethey all have advanced degrees and proven success in their profession. Mike's also very careful about matching his tutors with students as these tutors come into the student's home each week -- which makes the experience much more custom and personalized for the child. Over time, these tutors can become role models -- and even life coaches -- for the child. Learning Cycle Tutors has a great reputation in my community and track record of providing results for students. In fact, I see them recommended my parents on our HOA's Facebook page often. I highly recommend them.

He's always on time, really knows his stuff (all adult tutors with degrees), helps my daughter tremendously (she finally started passing STAAR tests!), is easy to talk to, and the billing is a cinch! We also needed a chemistry tutor this year and Cheryl was equally wonderful! The best thing is that they come to my house...so no extra after school driving & I can keep working on my stuff without having to pack everything up and sit in my car waiting. I would definitely give them 10 stars if I could. We're planning on staying with this company for the duration of my daughter's high school career.

Pro- learning in a classroom with the ability to ask questions or work through things you were…read morestruggling with. Pro/Con- it is (4) 9 hour days in a row. It is intense. It worked for me with my work schedule and how I learn but is a lot. Pro- Phillip the instructor was extremely knowledgeable, relatable and kind. I even connected with him after I passed the test and he was cheering me on then too! Pro/con- you learn way more information than you actually need for the test. You go into formulas and graphs and diagrams. All of it is extremely helpful information on how to do my job, but a lot of it was not on the test so I spent time studying and cramming things that I didnt need to know. Pro-They give you all of the study materials that you need. You do not need to buy additional books or study guides. It has a ton of practice tests and quizzes and really guides you where to look on the areas you need to focus on. A bit of background: I do projects and work in leadership but my title is nowhere near "project manager." I was learning all of the terms and formulas and all of it from scratch. It was a lot to learn in four days but that worked for me and my work/learning style. Overall, I would strongly recommend!

I took Project Management Academy's (PMA) PMP boot camp course in Norfolk, VA in November 2022…read more The course was well laid out, and was a good introduction to Project Management and what to expect when going through the certification process. PMA provided post-boot camp resources including reference material, and access to practice exams. The practice exams were difficult, and really challenged me. By the time I took the exam, I was thoroughly prepared and found the exam easy, and passed on my first attempt. What provided the most value for me was my course Facilitator, Mr. Jackson. Not only did he do a great job during the course, but he provided me assistance months after my course. He sent me additional preparation tools, reviewed my PMP application, and encouraged me when I became wary. One of my co-workers attended the course before I did, and although she had a different facilitator, her experience was very similar. Needless to say, I would highly recommend going with PMA if pursuing PMP certification.

I want the owners and staff that I appreciate their help and courtesy. The office suite is always immaculate - the pictures accurately portray how the area looks every day. I have witnessed that all who come through the door of OTA are greeted with the same courtesy and professionalism that I have experienced. In respect to the education, I have learned so much. I have had five different instructors and each has also been so helpful and professional. Years ago I tried to get learn how to trade - it was a train wreck. With OTA, I feel that if I start to veer off the tracks, someone is available through student support or education counselors who can steer me to an authority on my situation. One cannot ask for more than that.
