Class Description
I don't give the highest ratings unless they're earned. This class could not have been better. Navin was well prepared, and the pace was excellent. The facility and and equipment were also top notch. I am pleased that I have the option to retake (audit) the course for a year but I feel that the material was presented in a way that made it easily retainable.
After the May class date, this class will be offered again in October. Please contact us if you’d like to be notified when the later class is posted.
