"I selected this class because I provide training to my agency. After attending the training, I have transitioned from talking about how something is done to actually doing it. Instead of going strictly by the layout of a PowerPoint presentation, I now focus more on the attendee's needs which are centralized around specified training objectives. I will be suggesting that all the members of the training task force attend this class!"
