My instructor was great being able to put scenarios into real-world instances that related to my specific situation. I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived and the ability to sit as a group outside the classroom to discuss our situations and our goals was extremely valuable. I learned a lot and felt it was important that my goals by attending this course were met. Great job Lumify Work team.
