Now, for an establishment whose main purpose is to be a testing facility for professional…read moredesignations, continuing education, and other proctored exams, this place is awesome. Well, awesome on a relative scale at least. I mean, this is a place for testing. Already you go in here expecting your old elementary school teacher (you know, the one that gave you nightmares!), a compliance officer straight out of The Office (the British one, sorry America), and a computer/fax machine from Office Space. What else have we come to expect? Well, thankfully, the building is very nice, and the waiting room (while feeling a bit like a doctor's office) is small enough to feel cozy without that horrible sterile feeling. What makes it though is the staff. Every time I go in (it seems every few months), I'm greeted by a very cheery staff who are always extremely helpful. And the computers just work. This is a big plus. Anytime I've had a question during the exam, the staff have been very attentive. They also provide nice, disposable ear plugs for people who can't stand the white noise. And sometimes, if you've been in there for a long exam (4 hours or so), sometimes when you come out, they'll say something like "you know, I just couldn't help it, you were in there for so long, and I just had to look... congratulations." That part might not be legal, if that's the case, then I'm just making this up. In any case, thank you for being a human, us test takers appreciate it.

I was put at ease by Paula who took me to the testing area and made me feel extremely comfortable right before my test started. What is a big process to get checked in was done seamlessly. Needless to say, I would give 10 stars if I could.

No one needs to sign up with an employment agency to find minimum wage work, so they can stay poor literally anyone I know who has used employment agencies are using them because employment agencies should have clout in the industry and the area they are located in, to find people better paying long-term jobs.

A seasoned professional, who not only pushes you to step out of your comfortable zone, he is positive, motivating and listens to you complain [only a lil bit], but pushes you to get past the voice in your head to give up. It's been a long time, since I've done any type of weight training. I use to be in the gym a lot in my 20's/30's, burn out kicked in and I stopped going all together. It was time to make a change. Fast forward to 2021, in just a few short weeks [six to be exact] - I am slowly seeing some results in my body. Super motivating. Thank you for making me feel proud even of my smallest achievements. Your positive attitude has really kept me going. I've enjoyed the training, and am very grateful for your support.
