“Words from Cassidy”
The program is well formatted and developed so that anyone can study and learn the information. It’s self paced so that you can go as fast as you want without the pressure of having a deadline. Additionally, the simulator portions are really good at helping to reinforce the material that you learn from section to section.
Thanks to the Power4Vets program, I was able to successfully get my dream job in my dream location!
