    Anonymous review on 8/25/2015
    The instructor was wonderful, but the school was very brusque and unfriendly, offering contradictory information about what materials you need, what they make available to students and makeup policy. Warning: there is no makeup policy at all if you have to miss a class, which is unfortunate as the classes are quite expensive.
