I've seen people without hope gain a new vision for life, kids who were just surviving now taking on life with purpose and possibility and marriages transformed. It's an honor to volunteer an help others get the change they say they want in life. If it weren't for these trainings I can honestly say I wouldn't be alive today! Thanks GAP Community for giving me a new lease on life!

Four years ago I said "yes" to a transformational training that rocked my world! I wasn't clear on…read moremy vision for my life before but that training gave me a context for exploring my vision. Over the past several years, I have stepped into new levels of clarity for my passions, vision and who I am and who I want to be. As a result of Gap Community, freedom and abundance are not just words, they are a way of living that has dynamically affected my family and friendships in a positive way.

The interview over the phone was fantastic. Her credentials are amazing. The plus is she refunded…read more$550 of the $1450 (first payment of 3). She did have a visit at our house, and multiple emails. During our interview (my initial call to her) I explained in detail why I wanted to hire a college counselor. I needed someone who would follow up, and follow through, with my child. I wanted to step away from that part of searching for schools. CONS: *Maria would send emails, but not follow up. He wouldn't respond. I wrote her saying that my son is much better through direct contact, not email. I asked if she would follow up. She said, "I cannot make him read emails." *Maria didn't know much about the CA State system. We visited Cal Poly and realized that we had been given incorrect info. *She asked the same things about volunteering, hobbies, and school size over and over, even though my child gave her the information. *when she came to our house, her file seemed like it was for a totally different student. She had med/large school (he checked off small). She asked about volunteering (we had already told her he had 100s of volunteer hours). After she left, my child no longer wanted to work with her. *Before asking for money back, I asked for an SAT tutor in the area. She didn't have a recommendation. *THE BIGGEST CON: while working with Maria, my son put ZERO colleges on his list. So, for $900, this was not a good result. We finally went to his school counselor and had a zoom meeting. She scheduled another zoom 2 weeks later, and sent my child a few bullet points in an email for him to work on before the next meeting. He had 2 colleges by the next meeting. More colleges in 2 weeks, than a few months before. I highly recommend speaking with your school counselor before hiring someone. We found out that he will get into his first 3 choices (one being Cal Poly). This was by going directly through Cal Poly's site to see how they weigh college courses. The grades average into the GPA for required courses. Great if your school doesn't have AP. His high school counselor guided him through in a handful of meetings.

This is a convenient place to renew your BLS certification. I have used them in 2024, and again in…read more2026. It has been so easy both times. You complete the online skills section first, and then go in person to test hands-on skills with the mannequins. If you know what you're doing, you can get in and out in 10-20 minutes! I highly recommend this business. Inside the office is clean and quiet - there's only 2 stations, and when I did my training I was the only person there. Highly recommend using Safety Training Seminars for your BLS/CPR.

The worst customer service ever! Not sure why other sites show mostly 5 star reviews, and somehow…read morethe low-1 star ones seem to "disappear"??? Don't use them for "training", they suck- telephone operators don't have a clue what they're doing, nobody returns phone calls, phones go unanswered- worst of all, you take the training online, show up to the site to do the skills training part, and their computer/manikins are inoperable, won't work, cannot turn on- and I waited close to an hour there and nobody was able to help. So inconvenient! Took time off work, and now delayed getting my certificate. Lacking professionalism.

I decided to work with a speaking coach because my opportunities to speak publicly were increasing,…read moreand I realized that in our "always recorded" culture, I could only gain by learning to speak more articulately and with more confidence. I loved working with Jonathan! He is an authentic and kind supporter, but also helpfully targeted and direct in his feedback. As a result of our work together, I now bring much more of my authentic self into my speaking engagements. However, our work together has gone past standing on a stage: Jonathan has given me tools to be more myself in all aspects of my professional life. I would recommend WholeSpeak to people who are deeply passionate about the work they do, and care about positively impacting others and the world around them.

I've learned so much from this program! Tracie was my instructor and she really taught us how to…read morethink like health care professionals. She taught us to always keep the patient's perspective and life experience in mind and always maintain dignity and empathy for them. We had lots of reviews of readings and practicing skills with classmates. I am very curious and have lots of questions. I was able to get feedback and input when ever I needed it throughout the process. We had plenty of study material for review for the exam. By the time we had our exam I felt ready, and passed! All of the requirements to become a certified nurse was arranged by Roxanne. We had 80 hours in person experience in a facility assisting CNA's. All the paper work and arrangements were taken care of making the process straight forward and smooth. I had a great experience with North Bay CNA and even completed a Home Health Aid course with them after. If you are looking to start a career in health care, I highly recomend North Bay CNA!

Tiny Talkers, the Swain Center, and all their therapists have been such a blessing for our two…read morechildren. Our eldest was diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech at two and a half, after speech delays and severe lack of care from our primary care doctor. When she started Tiny Talkers at two and a half years old, she had no words that were consistent and intelligible by strangers. Tiny Talkers, and others at the Swain Center worked closely with her, and got results within a few months. They gave her an individualized learning plan that was tailored to her strengths and needs, and equally importantly, gave us as parents the tools and training to be effective therapists at home. Through lot's of hard work, our eldest is now at effectively age appropriate speech development, under a year later. They were able to accomplish this under the spectre of the pandemic no-less, with thoughtful, appropriate and responsible use of both teletherapy and modified in-person therapy sessions. It's hard to express how appreciative I am of their services; as we approach the Christmas season, it's remarkable to think that last Christmas our daughter wasn't talking, and this year she is so abuzz about Christmas and Santa and all the presents she's hoping for. It is the best Christmas present a parent could hope for.

I give the Swain Center one star because their customer service is horrible. It is a shame, as the…read morespeech therapists are absolutely phenomenal. The accountant (Stephanie) is one of the rudest people I have ever met, and her been a nightmare to work with. When I voiced my concerns to the owner (Dr. Swain) I received no response, which helps me understand why the level of customer service is where it is at. Again, I want to stress that the speech therapists are wonderful, and very good at what they do. If it wasn't for that, I would have definitely taken my business elsewhere.
