“I just completed my course! I am happy and satisfied. The experience, program, materials and incredible success coach who did not let me quit. During this time life happened and I wanted to give up but, she did not let me. She believed in me and because of my success coach, I am glad to say I completed the course. Your success coach is there to help if you are having trouble with material or understanding. I would highly recommend MedCerts, they plan out everything for you so, you know how much time you have for each lesson. I am thinking of coming back for another course.”
