There seem to be a lot of good things about this program but there was also enough to cause me…read moreconcern that I did not decide to take my child there. 1. I wasn't given full information about prices until I had signed a contract and 2. I was privately concerned about the male "business partner" who helps out at the school. This was just my intuition (which sadly has been right in the past.) I could be wrong. I was told he could step in "if something happened to [Kate]". By this statement I thought she meant if she had a heart attack or was hospitalized or something like that. I came to learn from other parents that Kate would sometimes leave and he would be the only one at the facility (with full unsupervised access to children). This was not my understanding of his role as described during the school tour. Also, I was never introduced to one teacher who was regularly going to be my child's caretaker (and was not a parent getting a discount for helping out.) Finally, when a parent did complain about concerns regarding this man and his contact with their daughter, the response from Kate was immediate denial and defensiveness (to include sending a hostile letter to the military commander of one of the parents, complaining about the parents). Meanwhile, she is required to report allegations (concerns) about improper child touching (child abuse/grooming.) Even if nothing was amiss, the structure (or lack thereof) and response of the individual responsible for keeping children safe, was subpar. As a Better Homes and Garden's article says: Going With Your Gut, it's better to stay away and risk embarrassment than to turn out wrong ("If you 'have a bad feeling' don't ignore it...keep your child away.") I recommend you ask questions, go with your gut, and perhaps require as a condition of your payment that as a parent you can make unannounced visits at any time.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON TRAINING FROM THIS COMPANY! I purchased the pre-licensing…read morecourse, and the quality was a grave disappointment. Throughout the video lessons, Mr. Royse takes great care to talk bout himself but shares little of value in regard to real estate. For chapters 1-7, which cover general real estate practice, it was relatively easy to utilize Real Estate Prep Agent on YouTube and cross reference topics until I had a thorough understanding of the subjects covered. However, chapter 8 is the only chapter on Alaska Real Estate Law. The law represents a separate exam that only includes only 40 questions, thereby making a thorough understanding of the concepts therein paramount. After watching Mr. Royse's 20 hour and 40 hour class lectures over chapter 8, I learned little more than he likes to conduct training in Hawaii so that he can write off his trips while drinking. That's all fun and games, but it doesn't provide much in the way of understanding the Alaska Real Estate Commission's statutes and regulations. Since I had no way to cross reference the law covered in chapter 8 as I had with the previous chapter's contents, I relied heavily on the six practice tests provided in the curriculum to help me interpret and apply the law. After continuously feeling very confused and then failing my first law exam ($100 down the drain), I spent an entire eight hour Sunday trying to compare the chapter 8 tests to nail down my confusion. Well... I found NINE questions with incorrect and conflicting answers on the answer keys... and these are only the ones I found with my novice knowledge. It is no wonder I was so confused trying to first interpret the law one way and then shortly thereafter reteaching myself the same concept again with another "correct" but incorrect answer. When I brought this issue to Royse and Associates, they were extremely dismissive and acted like the defect was my issue and that I was the only person who has ever had a problem with their reputable company. Well, when I finally got them to go through the test questions I had identified, they verified that they were indeed INCORRECT... in fact, one of the questions didn't even have the correct answer listed on the printable test I was using to study. What a crock! That meant I was studying nine concepts that I now knew of with conflicting application. In a chapter that doesn't cover much, that is a big deal. Royse and Associates dismissed that though. Royse himself wrote a snooty response about how there are literally 2,400 questions that could have been on the law portion of that exam, and that nine typos in his practice tests are not a big deal. I disagree. Nine incorrect questions (again... that I know of) over one, small chapter represent nine concepts misapplied. He also didn't seem concerned about combing back through his material in its entirety to identify other incorrectly provided test answers. As a result, I trashed all of his material as none of it could be trusted as accurate, and I went online to read the law (the version he included in his manual was not even the most recent version) and study it alone. Surprisingly, I passed my exam the very first time utilizing this approach. So... not only was the training provided by Royse and Associates not very helpful in preparing me to take my pre-licensing exam, it was absolutely detrimental to passing the Alaska Law portion of that exam. Therefore, I would highly recommend looking for a training provider with a demonstrated commitment to excellence and one that stands by their "product." Unfortunately, Mr. Royse seems concerned only with preserving his own veneer of perceived professional acumen and very dismissive of his complete incompetence and inaccurate curriculum. I certainly won't be giving him or his team anymore of my hard earned money!

It's cheap, tasty, and full of ever changing options. I recently completed a training at the BP Energy Center (see review) and they gave us meal cards with 15 dollars a day to the cafeteria. And let me tell you, I never spent my full 15 a day. I could get soup, sandwich, salad, and a drink, all for under 15. The SETUP: Grilled Sandwich Station: Here one will find burger options with choice of sweet potato or regular fries. There was a different special here in addition to the chicken tenders, veggie burgers, bacon cheeseburgers, and beyond. The Potato Bar Section: Every day I was there I could choose between a Yukon gold or sweet potato. The toppings WERE ON POINT. So many options like butter, sugar, cheese (shredded and nacho), broccoli, bacon, scallions, and the list goes on. The Question Mark Section (as I decided to name it): A section that changes every day. I saw it contain tasty looking pizzas (at least 8 varieties), Chinese food, and yummy gyros. I'll be making my back to this place for lunch if I'm in Anchorage during the day. Easy choice.
