What our Utah students say

"I did get my order [ Infants and Child Care and Principles of Child Development and Learning ] without any problem, and started studying it right away. As soon as I get this current course done I'm getting two more courses to get enough CEUs for my Career Ladder 7. I'm very excited, since I've already picked what I want to do next, and for the next course after that. :-)"

"All of the courses I've done through Care Courses have worked out great and been wonderful. The one "booklet" class I ordered came almost immediately. I really value you're company and will be doing many more courses. I love that they can still be done in book study form as I am a person who learns by reading the course material up to three times to get the "whole picture". I am also impressed with the communication you provide. Thank you "
