I chose the six week instructor LED course that met weekly for a Zoom review with an excellent instructor (Laura Farrell) ! The real life experiences shared, the well made slide deck presentations, and the interactive questions are just some of the best teaching practices used in this course! Also, Heather Manfred was always available by cell to promptly answer any of my questions that came up regarding technicalities with online learning and with the next steps needed after completing the course! I am definitely joining the Manfred Membership Program which includes lots of resources and the NYS approved continuing education hours that I need to continue my growth and success in the industry!
