Negative Experiences
A few reviewers have mentioned minor drawbacks or issues they encountered, such as difficulty with CEUs for one class, which was promptly resolved by the Executive Director. Another reviewer mentioned an unpleasant experience with staff, but ultimately had their issue resolved by Ajay Dahiya, the Executive Director. However, these negative experiences are vastly outnumbered by the overwhelmingly positive reviews.
