I've heard it said that the Ron Clark Academy is like "Disneyland for teachers." That seems like an…read moreaccurate assessment. I was fortunate to do the two day training at RCA. It was an amazing experience. The training was upbeat, fun, energetic and emotional. I learned a lot. Some of the perks of the two day training were free coffee in the morning from a local coffee truck, a late night party that included a local cover band and dancers, drinks and food, lunch both days, snacks and popsicles from a local company. I love that the training, key note speakers and current and former students focused a lot on engaging teaching and race. I loved RCA's inclusion of local businesses and artists. If you have the opportunity to visit and become "slide certified" do it!

There's plenty of parking available in this lot since there's a parking deck. I got lucky and caught beautiful fall weather today, so I didn't mind the walk from the deck. The entrance to the suite is on the main level with Iron Age, and the pathway adjacent to Iron Age will lead you to ATG. The location is pretty zen and relaxing for those to need a more peaceful environment before taking a exams. Masks are required for entry! Upon entry, I was greeted by a staff member, and was promptly checked-in to take my exam. You'll need two forms of identification (I used my driver's license and debit card.) They have lockers you can lock your personal things in, and they are pretty large so could fit a handbag. I opted not to bring any personal items with me though, so I had a huge locker for my keys and 2 IDs. Remember your locker number and the staff will unlock after your exam. The facility was clean and surprisingly comfortable. I would wear something warm if you tend to get cold because they definitely had the air running. I think it depends on the exam you're taking, but I was provided a dry-erase board, marker, and calculator. Staff enters upon the end of each exam to sanitize and prepare for the next proctored exam, so there's a lot of traffic noise. I didn't notice until after I passed my exam that there was a giant jar of earplugs available at the entrance of the exam room. I thought it was a jar of candy (Halloween thoughts LOL) or else I definitely would have benefited from them lol. I also think you will instantly get the results of your exam depending on what exam you're taking, but for me I was able to know immediately. Staff will hand you your results and sign you out. The entire process was a breeze and stress free. *if you have disabilities you can apply for testing accommodations with the agency you are testing with! Majority of the time you will need to provide medical documentation and do so 2 - 3 weeks in advance.

At 10 am there were at least 15 people there to take their exams and no one was at this business. One guy had driven to hours given this was the closest site to him open on a Saturday. It's now 10:30 am and the business remains closed. We all call and no one answers the phone. Finally at 11 am a young woman shows up and simply says there was a scheduling problem. She does not offer an apology. By the time I get registered for my exam, it's 11:30. I ask if I get a 5 min break as told by my program. She tells me there are no breaks for my 3 hour exam. After the halfway mark, the computer tells me I can take a 5 min break if I choose to. I take the break and have to get her to log me back into the system after the break. I complete and end the exam 8 minutes early and waited for the screen to tell me if I passed. Nothing. I ask her why my pass/fail did not appear on the screen and she tells me the policy for this exam is they will email me and let me know. Rather than argue with her, I review my exam information and they state I should get my score immediately after the exam. Needless to say, I would not recommend anyone to use this testing site. They are unprofessional and uninformed. While several of us were still in testing mode, the door to the testing room was left open for More than -0 minutes leaving us to deal with the noise from the center. This business should be closed. Avoid. If I have to take my exam over, I would drive an extra 45 minutes to avoid testing at this location.

But unlike those who are swift to think this is a "competitor" to the National Honor Society or a scam, I researched what it is. Turns out, folks comparing the two are ill-informed. NSHS is about a lifetime membership and being connected to scholarships. It's fashioned more like a professional organization where you can connect with others. It's not a checkmark on the college application. So it may be very valuable for some, not useful for others. Marketing? yup! Just like the college brochures and email you get- that's how they reach potential members. Some comparison data is here: https://blog.collegevine.com/nhs-vs-nshss-whats-the-difference/

It is fashioned differently with that of a networking body. They offer post high school to college resources, and college to career resources. They have networks abroad to other universities. It's primarily awarded to academic achievements and you can choose to pay join or decline. If your high school student is accepted to NHS there is no need to apply to this program. This is for other students who missed their deadlines to get into NHS or just wants the networking perks. Look at the pros and cons of both and decide before purchasing. I like the program and it acknowledges my son's stellar high school performance. Well worth the purchase. Thank you.

After 10 years putting on weight while trying different programs (Beachbody, Jenny Craig, Clean...)…read moreand consuming "healthy lifestyle" books, my willpower was gone. I started to think I needed to make peace with the fact I would be overweight for the rest of my life - what a depressing thought! One family reunion made me re-think that, and I vowed to make one less try. As a typical business consultant, I researched lots of local experts and started interviewing. The last thing I needed was a nutritionist, but there were so many reviews on Sheryl that I asked for a chat. Sheryl was immediately up for the challenge and spent 1hr on the phone explaining her approach to my particular case (completely different from all I had tried on my own). When she said she's available 24x7, I knew I had the right 'partner' to help me. I started going to Sheryl 5 months ago, and lost 90% of my target weight loss. My family and co-workers are astonished (and thinking I've been dying at the gym, but exercising will be my next focus!). When I look back 4 months ago, I can't believe where I am now. It was hard as hell, but now I can't think about living any other way except healthy. Reality is that weight loss was just one of the positive benefits Sheryl helped me with - she somehow changed my mind around and put me back in charge of my life. I do LOVE having lost the weight, but the most amazing thing is getting my confidence back and making healthy choices in relationships, career, family, work, eating etc. Sheryl was a miracle in my life!

The first workshop I attended was an intro to Adobe Illustrator. We had people of many different professional backgrounds in attendance. Although the class was beginner, they also answered the questions of those with a little more experience. When the presenter did not know the answer, the group may have chimed in to help. (Did I ever mention I love Atlanta) The most recent workshop I attended was the Transferable Skills workshop led by Nita Penn. This session was amazing! It was interactive, relevant, high energy, and applicable to our everyday lives. Nita was well prepared, fun, energetic, and inspiring. A lot of times we take workshops that work on our hard skills and it was nice that General Assembly scheduled something to help us learn about soft skills and how they can be transferable and applicable in various situations. I hope to see Nita continue to lead workshops at this location. I can guarantee that as she starts doing more workshops on various topics I will for sure be there with my friends! I am looking forward to building my personal and professional portfolio and am thankful for the opportunities that General Assembly is providing at such a reasonable cost.

This school is completely unprofessional. The teacher for the medical assisting course is not…read morecertified, the manager says he is a doctor one day, and a physician's assistant the next. They teach you medical terminology in 30 minutes, telling you to study on your own the rest, and the teacher only lectures for 1 hour, out of a 5 hr day, spending the rest of the time talking about religion, making fun of students, or outside of the class on his cell phone, that is if he shows up. There were only 4 students in the medical assisting course when I came, the manager promising others were enrolling who never actually came. In my opinion this school is VERY bootleg and I advise you to stay away. Also, no matter how horrible their service is, or how much they lie to you, they will NEVER give you your money back, not even a cent.

The instructors were always making sure you understood what they were teaching you before moving on to another subject. Radiumsoft was an amazing experience for me. The instructors are excellent, the SQL Server DBA program is fantastic. I can't say anything negative about this school. I was more than prepared for my first job as a SQL Server DBA. Great institute for teaching and preparing students for the world outside of the Radiumsoft bubble. Innovative and cutting edge. Radiumsoft instructors are extremely accessible and helpful, something not to be found at a any other school. The education was great and prepares students for jobs.
