Reviews for Vocational Training in NYC

Vocational Training in NYC are rated 4.4 stars based on 79 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Holiday Greens Workshop

    I really enjoyed this class. Teacher was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this class
  • Event Planning Like a Pro: Conferences & Meetings

    The class was as advertised, a crash course of the bird's eye view of event planning. Our instructor also provided a GREAT tool to break event planing down into micro manageable steps. I feel confident planning anything! (maybe except a wedding for now).
  • Event Planning Like a Pro: Conferences & Meetings

    Review was very helpful.
  • I really enjoyed this class and the instructor was funny and super informative! I would highly recommend taking this class and purchasing the "Pass The New York Notary Public Exam Second Edition" book off of Amazon for practice!
  • Notary Public Seminar: Prepare for the NYS Test

    The class was great. My only problem was that I could not find the class when I got to the school. The information was not provided in the email and when I got to the school the staff did not know where to direct me. I would suggest for the future that the class location is listed in initial email.
  • Brett was a great teacher! He provided all the necessary material to be more than well prepared for the notary exam. Definitely would recommend this course and him as an instructor!
  • When evaluating new staff candidates as well as freelance professionals, one of the first things we take into consideration is that person's legitimate, industry-specific education. A certificate from E.L.I. tells us they are on the right track.
  • I am finding the Event Leadership Institute a great resource and look forward to more great programming.
  • I was working towards my CMP certification and needed to get a large number of education credits in a short period of time. Your website worked perfectly for this...I really liked how each course was "pre approved" by the CIC and indicated how many credits it was wort
  • Brett Cassidy was great at explaining everything to us.
  • Brett Cassidy was a great instructor. I would take the class again but hopefully I pass the notary public test and I don't have to. Thank you Brett for a great class and for answering all of our questions.

    Lots of fun. Ken very well prepared with materials. Many helpful project options taught.
  • Event Planning

    This class was informative and the discussion lively -- Nicole is a great teacher with vast experience in the Event Planning field! I would definitely recommend the class, particularly if you're thinking about working as an Event Planner: try this class first to examine the pros/cons of working in this business area from an expert!
  • Notary Public

    I actually really enjoyed this class! The teacher, Brett Cassidy, was great. He was funny and brought in personal stories to make the information easier to remember and more relevant. Everything was well organized and went seamlessly. I received course information well before the class start date and knew exactly where to go on the first day. I would recommend this class to anyone!
  • This class took you from the creation of an idea, all the way through to presenting it to a client. A really good, quick overview of the process. Very hands on!
  • Event Planning

    Great instructor, With lot of experience in this field!!
