Normally, whenever I attend work-related training off site the facility is your standard office building with classrooms. That is about it. No amenities aside from the required bathrooms. Training Umbrella takes hospitality to an unprecedented level. Never before have I attended a training course and been privy to the assortment of complimentary items they offer. Every morning there is free breakfast food (cinnamon rolls, bagels, breads, cakes, bagels). You can get your fill of unlimited coffee, tea, or sodas from the fridge. There is a microwave and a toaster if you need them as well. A basket of salty and sweet snacks is always stocked on the counter. Not only that, but every afternoon the desk clerk bakes fresh chocolate chip cookies and brings them into the classroom. It's almost surreal.

You will not have to worry about that here because they are excellent and attending to the needs of students.

If you're a fan of any kind of Americana string band music: old-time, celtic, bluegrass,…read morepsycho-slam grass, folk, singer/songwriter, etc., then take it upon yourself to get acquainted with the Americana Music Academy. Disclaimer: I've been on the Board of Directors in the past, have taught there on rare occasion and am an ardent supporter of their mission which is bringing affordable music education and music therapy to the community. Based out of an old three story house on Mass Street, it's sort of a throwback to another time. An ancient structure that regularly hosts lessons, jam sessions, workshops and general music fun. If you're into the music scene and looking to hook up with other like-minded musicians, this is a great place to start. If they're not already on the teaching staff then the folks there can suggest who you should know. A small organization with a shoe-string budget and few resources, they do a terrific job bringing a lot of joy to the community. I'd suggest you may want to pay them a serious visit if you have a guitar, fiddle, mandolin or banjo laying around collecting dust and want to open your mind and heart to the wonderful art that is making music with others.

I also love their seminary school. The classes offered is perfect for people who need to work during the day time but love to earn a MA degrees. This type of class offered on Mon-Thur evening from 5:30PM-9:30PM. They have some weekend modular classes which allow you just attend 1 weekend class time, and do the homework on your own path within given reasonable time frame. They have so many practical majors (please check out their website) I wish I can take all of them, but my personal favorite is their Biblical Counseling class. It teaches you both basic theology and very practical counseling methods according 100% on God's Words without humanistic base secular psychology influence. Some examples of Biblical Counseling classes are: Crisis Counseling, Family Counseling, Addictions Counseling, Counseling Women...etcs. Professors share real cases stories (but use anonymous names for people or church involved) and students can learn from the hands-on analysis for counseling. I also enjoyed their their theology classes. Professors encourage students to ask questions (and there is no dumb questions) and discuss their thoughts according to God's Words. I have been student here and enjoyed every single class from all my professors. They are kind, patient, helpful, have a listening heart, knowledgeable, scholar, servant heart, and also serve in churches with real-hand on experience to share with students. They also have radio station in Kansas Ctiy area. Tune in FM 88.5 to listen to their Christian music and daily short preaching while driving to work or home. If you are interested in their programs, email or call their Admission office, they can send you a package so you can have more ideas of what classes are offered. Yes, they also offer credit or sit-in-non-credit-auditing class for personal enrichment. Love it, I move from Indiana to Kansas just for attending this school.
