Testimonials
"The class exceeded my expectations. I figured the facilitator would just give out bullet points and leave the rest for us to understand, as this has been my experience. She was very thorough in explaining the information and layout of the book. I loved the professionalism, timing, knowledge, and material provided by the company. Would definitely take another class with Watermark Learning."
"First, I signed up late for the class and didn’t expect the material to be delivered on time. I was pleasantly surprised when all the required material arrived the very next day and I was able to prep for the course before it began. Second, directions to access the virtual sessions were precise and accurate. Third (and the best part), from the beginning to the very end of the class, the experience was GREAT. The instructor was clear, well-paced and explained complex areas in understandable laymen’s terms. She kept the class engaged and encouraged open discussions through each session. I highly recommend this virtual prep class, great value."
