Your hard work pays off! I arrived a discouraged job seeker with a bit of despair and left a confident Tour Manager graduate with super knowledge and life scenarios to guide my career. Thanks tons!!! Dorothy Bax, Canada

Wow, what to say?! From the moment I saw the info on journeywomen.com right through today, I've been so pleased with you all, and this course. Not only do I feel that as a student, I was extremely well served by this class(and will continue to be once the class is over), but as a service provider doing photo and video work, I couldn't ask for better people to work with. It's been a real joy spending time with you all this past week. Thank you so much for your care, service, attention, information, & wisdom. Sandi Wheaton, Canada

How do you say thank you or maybe thank you is not enough. I really enjoyed what you represent. You had us work as a team and face our fears like public speaking, etc. I learned lots of new things. Thank you. Gum Mpwo, Texas

I came here with high expectations and the course exceeded them. Your experience in teaching this course made for practical, thoughtful course work and exercises. I was very impressed at how you modeled what you taught by starting and ending each segment on time-much appreciated! I don't know what is in store for me, but I certainly feel prepared. Thanks for giving us a great experience. Malcolm White, North Carolina

I cannot express how much this course has meant to me. I have been looking to do this for at least 3 years and now it has happened. Thank you very much for this experience and I plan to run with this certification. Kim Moriarty, Vermont
