Been coming here for months. Tip the students good they work hard! friendly and welcoming owners, overall warm environment. but I was recently put off by the fact that my open weapon carry choices made a student uncomfortable, I 100% support the choice of the owner telling me to not open carry anymore as to look out for their students, but as a responsible gun owner, I felt as if I was looked at as a threat for exercising my rights after months of going in there with my sidearm. I think I'll be moving onto a licensed massage therapist but thanks for the months of wonderful massages!

This school is amazing! The teachers are great, the vibe is awesome and the knowledge is vast. Students are supported in their journey and pushed (with love) outside their comfort zones. I love the self study portion of the A&P and the hands on labs are so valuable. The class size is small and perfect for plenty of 1:1 attention and guidance. I have no doubt I will be a well prepared professional upon graduation. I wouldn't choose to start this career with any other school! Thank you Joe!
