I was reflecting on the best courses I’ve taken and this was hands down one of the best. So applicable to my daily work.

— Ministry of Environment and Parks

I appreciated the tailoring of the workshop materials to our organization, using real-time, current writing examples to analyze and improve. It was readily applicable to my work and very professionally done.”
