This was very informational and I learned a lot.
I think this continuation of training is great to enhance our knowledge on our jobs.
I think this is a great tool for new agents to ensure that what is already being trained by the Directors of Admissions is backed-up by authority. Very good!
Nice to see this as a requirement for new and old representatives. It puts the focus back where it needs be.
I was skeptical about having to take this training course. Being an agent for the last 10yrs, I thought this would be "too easy" for me, but I found it very helpful! It was nice to refresh what I already knew and I must say I did learn a few new things as well. I believe the course and what it spoke about was put together in a great way and I believe this will be a very useful tool in training new reps. Thanks for a great experience!
I feel I learned alot. I think it is really good to have this knowledge and to have a way to organize the information and keep it handy.
I really think this was a great course. It opened my eyes to many regulations that I did not know were even in place.
Well organized. Easy to follow. Quizzes along the way provide formative evaluation and feedback.
Thank you. I appreciated the opportunity to participate and brush up on my knowledge.
This course was an exceptional experience and learning tool. I have learned many new things like how to be better organized, and to ask questions and I think I will be a better school director because of it.
