I wanted to be able to study on my lunch break, on the couch, at my parents' house when I visit them, etc. I wanted access to a mentor when I needed it, at my own convenience—and that's what I got! I got real feedback, just like I would in an in-person classroom. I also needed the flexible payments that I worked into my budget. Not to mention, I loved the associations partnered with QC. As an event and wedding planner, you're absolutely going to benefit from that!
