An instructor I had heard great things about was teaching in Seattle, so I decided to retake there. The Seattle center is a warm, friendly place, with the usual endless coffee, lunch, and snacks. The classroom has the modern technology that you need as a trader. Everything about this trip was great, other than the clouds constantly obscuring the mountains.... I have been trading for about a year now using OTA's strategies, and they really do work. To succeed, you need a good trading plan, and weeks or months of practice. The cost of OTA classes seems high to some people, but you are really paying for the equivalent of a college degree in a new career. Some people end up trading full-time, which really means 10-20 hours a week, or just doing this to improve their portfolio performance. Like any other career, what you achieve is a reflection of what you invest. I'm very glad I decided to hook up with OTA when I did. It has changed my life.

As an instructor for Online Trading Academy, the Seattle (Bellevue) campus is a very special place…read more We just finished a Core Strategy class last week in this center. The class was very well prepared by their dedicated Student Support Specialist, Franklin. I have instructed well over 100 classes in this course, and the students in this class were very motivated to learn, and some of the friendliest people, just like all Seattle classes... E-mails were sent before the start of class to lead students through the pre-class preparations, and it showed once class began. Everyone in this center puts the students needs first and foremost, and it shows. The students realize that there is a lot of hard work involved in learning the mechanics of the markets and that to truly be successful in the financial markets Risk Management needs to be at the top of the priority list. The company could be named "The Online Risk Management and Probability Academy" because that's what is taught in great detail from the very first hour of class. A good example of the focus on student learning is the commitment of the owner. After some internet and computer challenges during class, the center has committed to repairing the network and purchasing new computers for student use! How awesome is this? The campus is located in a quiet professional complex, with a stream and wildlife on all side for peaceful walks during lunch..... which they provide every day! Seattle is an awesome center and will soon have the best IT and computer resources in the business! You couldn't pick a better location to learn in, or teach in...

I went to this school many years ago. I was left unimpressed. It was difficult to get a job because…read morewe didn't have the same knowledge that Lake Washington had. 22 classes is not enough instruction time to adequately prepare for a profession. I finally found a job as a dental assistant making $12.00 an hour, while my friends who graduated from Lake Wa. Were making more. At the time NDAA was NOT accredited, whereas Lake Wa is. Now that I have been in the field of orthodontics for 16 years, I would be very apprehensive when hiring someone from this school. Not that these students can't be taught, but they are not receiving the same education as other programs. If I were a student I would look for a Dr. to train, believe me, they are out these. This will save you 6K.

I find the prices to be reasonable. I absolutely love that I can complete the "classroom" portion of the training online, on my own timeline and in the comfort of my own home. When it comes to scheduling the "hands on" portion, I found the online scheduling to be easy to use and there's a ton of range options and dates to choose from. Training with Michael Cox is always a pleasure. He's very knowledgeable and has an easy going personality that makes anyone feel comfortable, regardless of their previous firearm experience. It's obvious that safety is his top priority, and that helping you understand and learn what you need to know is his close second priority. If you're looking to enhance your shooting ability, to learn the basics, or to complete your qualifications for PI work, I highly recommend Safe Insight and Mr. Cox. You will NOT be disappointed!! P.S. There is NOT a range at this location!! Mr. Cox utilizes various ranges in the area. The Lynnwood address is classroom only.

*** Review for 3-day beginner motorcycle permit course ***…read more Let me begin by saying that Sherry Jennings and Sean Grimm are absolutely excellent instructors; you can really tell they care about keeping you safe. Sherry's enthusiasm and passion for motorcycling and teaching were amazing. She has a very vibrant way of teaching that easily holds your attention. Both Sherry and Sean were super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. They WANT you to succeed and they're beyond great at what they do. That being said, it would be nice if the class sizes could be smaller. Our class was 16 riders. On the range, we had both instructors present, but I felt like if there had been fewer riders, there would have been more room for individualized help and feedback. I want to be very clear that this is a critique of the WMST class itself and NOT a fault of the instructors in any way--the instructors truly did their absolute best to help everyone and spent extra time with the people who needed it most while still being attentive to everyone. Having more time on the range would also be helpful for nailing skills down. The bikes seemed to be well-maintained (take with a grain of salt since I only rode two). I liked that we got to pick what style of bike we wanted to ride. I felt extremely lucky with my classmates; everyone was super kind and supportive of each other, which was awesome! Honestly, a big highlight of this experience for me was the other wonderful people taking the course alongside me--to say they were great would be an understatement. *** End of review, advice below *** I have literally zero experience with motorcycles and was lucky enough to pass my permit exams first try. FOR ALL MY FELLOW COMPLETE BEGINNERS, PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE!! This is a whole new skill you're learning and you absolutely need to set yourself up for success! *Your course includes the Champ U NEW RIDER online course, at the BARE MINIMUM you need to complete the portions outlined in the email. But don't stop there. COMPLETE THE WHOLE ENTIRE ONLINE COURSE **BEFORE** YOUR IN-PERSON COURSE! You really need to set yourself up for success with the book learning, especially if you don't have access to practice with a motorcycle. Even if you have previous experience, I would still recommend completing the entire online course because you want any misconceptions corrected before they possibly hurt you. The online course covers a lot of great stuff, there's really no reason not to do it (it's free!). Plan ahead and start it early because it takes a while to get through everything, but this is a lifelong skill and I promise you it's totally worth it! *ENGAGE IN CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS!!! PAY ATTENTION DURING CLASSROOM PORTIONS! Show the instructors that you are listening by engaging with the discussions! IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK! The instructors are super friendly and are more than happy to explain anything you're wondering about. *Watch videos of the permit test on YouTube so you know what to expect *Take deep breaths and try to relax! Watch what everyone else is doing and see how everybody is making mistakes. IT'S OK! That's part of learning! It helps your confidence when you realize that pretty much everyone else is struggling and learning too! If you don't pass the first time, don't beat yourself up. This is difficult and there's a LOT to process. You can know what you need to do and still panic under the pressure of a test. Just do your best and don't give up. Stay safe!

A friend wanted to get his motorcycle license so I decided to take the class with him. We took the…read more3 day "Learn to Ride" class with WMST in Auburn. This class is the first of two classes to get the motorcycle endorsement. Passing the Learn to Ride class gives you the permit, allowing you to legally ride and practice riding for six months but with some restrictions (not riding with other passengers or at night among other things). Passing the returning rider course gives you the actual endorsement that does not have any restrictions. The Auburn classroom location is next to the Johnny Rocket's and across the Dave & Buster's at the Outlet Collection Mall. Day 1 was on Friday evening and consisted of a couple of hours of learning safety rules, myths vs facts, tips, and laws of riding motorcycles in the classroom. Day 2 started off on the range where we rode the motorcycles provided by the class and learned the basics of riding. In the afternoon, we went back to the classroom to learn the rest of the material and then took the written test. Day 3 was on the range where we continued practicing our riding abilities and then ended with the riding exam. The written exam consisted of 50 multiple choice questions (mostly common sense questions) and you need an 80% to pass. The riding exam consisted of 5 riding exercises to test basic riding abilities. Now onto the class itself: it is meant for beginners and those with no motorcycle riding experience, but the instructors moved quickly and skipped a couple of things that I thought would've been important to tell students in case they have no knowledge about motorcycles. Extremely simple things like how to know if a bike is too big for you, how to shift gears, and how to properly hold the handles without getting wrist pain. I learned a good amount of the basics from asking other riders because our instructors didn't teach us for whatever reason. It's a class where they let you go and figure things out on your own and they jump in when you need it. I like that but I'd also appreciate knowing how to do some things to help accelerate our learning. At some points the instructor was more interested in telling jokes than actually teaching the class which wasn't ideal. I never planned on buying a motorcycle or riding one on the road, but I wanted to try something new and this was an educational class that got me out of my comfort zone. I passed both exams which I'm happy about but the class itself wasn't the best experience. The instructors were interesting characters but not the best educators. Some other things I wish I would've known: - You can use hiking boots as your riding boots. This would've prevented me from buying motorcycle boots just for the course that I won't use again. - They have helmets that you can borrow if you don't have one. Again, I bought a helmet just for the course. - Read the motorcycle operating manual before the class so terminology is not new to you if you're not familiar with riding.
