He handled the lighting for our eight-hour documentary shoot efficiently and helped create the look we were after. I was impressed with his work ethic: he even stayed to help return the house we used as our set back to its original condition. It's encouraging to see graduates who aren't only technically prepared but also dependable and adaptable. I will absolutely hire NFI graduates again!

The only reason this school exists; is the State of Tennessee Real Estate Commission REQUIRES…read moreapplicants to obtain "training" prior to taking the exams. The Real Estate Commission, composed mostly of Real estate licensees (77% by law), has taken on the task of feeding these "real estate schools" a massive stream of cash vis a vis Commission requirements. There is ZERO, ZERO, ZERO instructional design to this course. They have no idea what understanding, content, testing, reinforcement, or retention are. They don't know what the first rule of learning is. The have never heard of ADDIE, and the highest level of technology utilized in this course - is a credit card point of sale terminal. This is government level COMPLIANCE; it has nothing to do with training. I did not need to pay $375 for someone to read a book to me (anyone who needs someone to read a book to them, cannot pass this test anyway) - that is simply NOT "training." This is, at best, a misguided fleece job by the Tennessee State Real Estate Commission to pump money into the schools THEY APPROVE. I am fully capable of reading a book and taking a test. Have you actually seen a detailed syllabus? What is the approval process by the state other than a compliance of TIME of study? Seriously? The state mandates that an applicant receive 60 hours of training, but don't demand course content actually train students - come on. I wa told that 85% of CLI students pass on the first attempt. 1). THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE based on the class I attended. 2). Get ANY statement of pass ratio in writing - but I personally guarantee they will not give it to you, which means.. 3) Any training course that isn't guaranteed, is exactly that!!! Any student that would pay $375 for a training course and then fail the course without the ability to be retrained for taking the test again - at no additional charge - is appropriate. One of the instructors actually made fun of handicapped persons in class while "teaching" a subject. The instructor said hurtful things about mental health care. These people should be setting a professional tone for the future employees of an industry - not ifosterin / facilitating discrimination. This is a money machine; nothing more and nothing less. It was a waste.

When I heard School of Rock had an adult program, I was ecstatic. Sure, $320 a month isn't cheap,…read morebut breaking it down into a weekly lesson and a band rehearsal actually amortizes pretty well. I walked into my trial lesson fully intending to sign up. I wanted private instruction to help me move past the intermediate plateau--learning the fretboard deeply rather than just robotically regurgitating tabs. Unfortunately, the trial was highly disorganized. While the instructor was a skilled player, he ran a complex exercise that didn't match the baseline I had explicitly laid out. Instead of pivoting when I clearly struggled, we just burned through the clock. Worst of all, we spent zero time on what is supposed to be the core School of Rock curriculum: breaking down specific song parts to learn the technicals. Just as we were finally about to start, he ended the lesson early. Assuming the trial lesson was meant to mirror a regular lesson, I was shorted a significant chunk of the advertised time. This place seems excellent for beginners, and I'd highly recommend it for kids. But the onboarding for adults needs work. When I gave honest, non-harsh feedback to the studio manager about my experience, the response was a rigid ultimatum: no further trials, but I could pay $65 for an extra lesson or just commit to a full month to "see how it feels." I might still roll the dice on a month because the performance-based concept is incredibly cool, but hitting a warm lead with a low-effort cash grab after a provably bad first impression isn't great salesmanship. It feels like a massive risk to drop that much cash on a "maybe."

This school ROCKS! We have been members here ever since we moved last year. The instructors are…read moretop-notch and my kids are learning a lot and growing as musicians. I like the safe and nurturing environment for my kids as well. The owner is very hands on and because she is a mom I know she gets it. I like that she treats my kids like her own and runs a tight ship. The only blip was when she hired a GM from another music program who was rude and just didn't get it but they fixed that issue quickly and the program is moving forward once again. I would highly recommend taking your kids to any of the Schools of Rock here in this area - they are top notch in every way and I love the shows.

¡Bevin es la mejor!…read more Bevin has been absolutely instrumental in my progress learning Spanish. She is incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, which makes such a difference when tackling a new language. But what really sets her apart is her energy--she's always positive, encouraging, and absolutely hilarious. She makes every class fun and engaging, which keeps me motivated and excited to keep learning. She knows how to challenge us without making things feel overwhelming, and she creates an environment where mistakes are just part of the learning process. On top of that, Speak Spanish Nashville has been such a great resource, offering so many ways to practice outside of class.

When I first walked into Online Trading Academy, I didn't know what to expect. I was greeted with a…read morebunch of smiling and warming faces. After sitting through the half-day class, I learned that I didn't know much about the markets. This school really put it into perspective for me. I had no idea about most of the things that money managers do to cheat you out of money. After seeing how it works and learning a few other things I didn't know, I decided to come to the 3-day orientation. Wow!! Talk about not knowing anything. I thought I learned something from the half-day class, this 3-day orientation was a lot more. At this point I knew I had found something that not many people would come into contact with. Sure there are programs and other things you can do to learn about the markets, but none of those programs had an actual campus...and 48 of them worldwide. I decided this was for me and became a student. It has taught me so much about how the financial markets work and I now can say that I am a trader. Great education, great atmosphere, great instructors, and great people all around.

So, it goes like this... You listen to their weekly, uplifting (infomercial) radio show which…read moremotivates you to try the free one day class. You arrive and are greeted by warm, friendly "counselors" who make you and the other attendees feel like part of a wonderful family. The class is lead by a strong motivational speaker who tells stories of how he used to work for an investment firm that made its clients tons of money while at the same time, he was just getting by. He leaves the firm, signs up for an OTA course and bam, now he makes tons of money and has secured his family's legacy. No actual useful trading information is shared during the 6 hour class but it is motivational and fun and there are breaks and refreshments. Several hours before the class (infomercial) is over, a flyer is passed out which invites you to take the first step towards financial freedom by signing up for the three day class. The price is $300 but the speaker stresses that the fee is there to weed out the people who aren't serious and end up not showing up after reserving limited class space AND it's totally refundable if you ultimately decide not to sign up after the three days. Cool. Before attending the three day class, you fill out a questionnaire that details your goals and motivation o join OTA. Your counselor will call you a few days later to discuss this information with you. The three day class is lead by a wonderful motivational speaker who flew in from Los Angles. The guy is great. He's articulate, funny and certainly seems to be an investment expert as he explains and demonstrates the patented OTA method. He even trades live and makes money while allowing select students to help make decisions with his money. Was that real? There's no way to tell but again, it was fun, entertaining and motivating. The class breaks for the free included lunch (sub sandwiches) and students are called in for personal meetings with their counselors. The end of day one leaves you very motivated and though you can't pinpoint having gain any real knowledge about trading, you are confident and excited. The second day of the three day class is more of the same until mid day when a new flyer is passed out. This time it's serious. There are three packages for sale and the prices range from 22k to 59k. Soon after, students are pulled out of class for private, closed door discussions with their "counselors" who lean in pretty hard to obtain a down payment with the promise that if you lay down at least 1000 today, they can probably offer a "scholarship" which would reduce the cost a few k. I told my guy that I had planned to finish the three days before I committed to such an investment which did not go over well at all. He was visibly not happy with me. The rest of the day was pretty uncomfortable as signees we hailed and applauded and those who left were quietly termed "quitters". When the class was over my counselor called me into his office one more time. At this point I was so overwhelmed by the motivational peer pressure I conceded and handed over a thousand dollar down payment. The following morning I woke with a clear head and realizing that 22k (or even 17k with the so called scholarship) was an insane price for a 5 day... yeah, five day class so I drove to class early and told my guy I wasn't taking the course. He had the nerve to say, "okay... let me go get a quitter form." The "quitter" form was actually a refund form and to their credit, OTA did refund my entire $1300 after I returned all the classroom literature which was required. Later I did some research and found that their patented techniques aren't really that unique and there are plenty of educational videos and teachers who use the same basic principles. It's not magic and you don't have to lose $17k before you even make your first trade. Also there's no excuse for their peer pressure based sales technique to get your money. That is just creepy.
