Program Reviews

Lessons are easy to follow, and it doesn't feel like I'm reading out of a textbook! The way the lessons are worded feels as if a person is talking to me, and it even has an audio feature if reading is not your style of learning. I am very happy with my decision to use USCI as a form of schooling.
