Amber's Story

“The instructors have time to give to be able to work with you one on one if you need it. They are very approachable and helpful which really fosters that environment where you don’t feel afraid to ask a question or intimidated by what you don’t know instead you feel encouraged to step out and try new things. Even after a year on the production track my mindset has changed”
