Took a Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exam here. The Proctors were friendly and…read moreprofessional, but unfortunately they do not get the support they need from the IT and Admin staff in order to offer these exams in a timely manner. The first time I took the exam, the Proctor spent an hour trying to get in contact with a member of FCPS's IT staff to get the license for the software needed to take my exam. This delay definitely took me off my game, and may have been a contributing factor to my failing of the exam by one question. For my retake, it was discovered while I was waiting for the exam that PC used to proctor the exam had not been updated, and would take until after 9pm at night to finish updating. Luckily, the Proctor was willing to come in on her off day so that I could take the exam before my certification deadline. In addition, scheduling the exams were a massive pain, with the admin staff in charge of registration often transferring my call to a person not in the office, resulting in having to play phone tag for over an hour in order to get the exam scheduled each time. Although the Proctors were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, the lack of support from the rest of FCPS's Adult and Community Education staff proved to be extremely detrimental to my experience, which is why I must give them a 2 star review. Until this situation changes, I can not recommend FCPS's ACE program to anyone.

I started LearningRX skeptically. The distinction between this and other brain training methods…read morewasn't completely obvious to me. The training was diffficult but we were committed to the effort. The impact on my 12 year old and his scholastic performance was both subtle and profound. It put him in a position where we could press him for A's rather than be in a negotiation over remedial accommodations.

Absolutely fantastic course. My wife and I took the 2-day weekend course introduction to welding. I…read morewanted to get educated on the safety aspects of welding as well as the basics of the four types of welding that were taught. I had no welding experience prior to going, nor did my wife. At the end of the weekend. I felt extremely confident in both the safety aspects and in doing proper welds. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and as much as I hate to admit it, my wife's welds were better than mine. I highly recommend this course to anybody who's interested in welding as a hobby or welding for basic repairs. Fisher is an incredible wealth of knowledge, we were amazed at his depth of knowledge on the various aspects of welding. If you've ever been curious in learning how to weld, I would say that this is a small price to pay for an incredible amount of learning. I give Fisher six out of five stars!!!!!

Steve (the owner), Matt (the main hand), and the team did a wonderful job over the two day weekend class they offered. You can chose to learn whatever type of welding you want. My son and I chose Stick welding for its practical, around the house purposes. It's tougher than it looks. Steve has been welding for 50+ years. He has the hands of a welding god. I will admit that even though my son had previous experience in welding, I did show progressive improvement over the two days. And trust me, two days is good enough. Your hands hurt at the end of day two. The class is self paced. They show you a technique and then you work on that technique for the remaining 3 hour session. There are 4, three hour sessions. There is no beat down. It's all constructive feedback and they understand that it takes time. We had about 12 students in the class that were from NC, WV, & eastern Prince William County and a few locals including us. Some students chose the class where you get a feel for all four types of welding's. My son and I chose only Stick Welding and did only that. I shared some closing thoughts and recommendations to work in to the next class, which they immediately addressed. My son and I feel that even though the class is over, we could probably pop in any day and ask for help or guidance and these folks would help. That's how it is in Central VA. Good people. Steve and team, well done. Keep up the good work. I hope to come up with a reason to visit.
