This was a great course!

I am very thankful for this opportunity. The class was conducted one-on-one, and I truly appreciate both my instructor and the Graduate School for making this possible. The most valuable aspect of the training was its personalized focus—it was tailored specifically to my current situation, which made it highly relevant and immediately applicable. In the past, I’ve taken training from the Graduate School and other providers, but the material often catered to large agencies like the Department of Defense. This time, however, the instruction was centered on my needs, which made a significant difference.

My experience in the Introduction to Supervision course was exceptional! The small class size provided the opportunity for detailed discussions, personalized guidance, and ample chances to ask questions. The interactive activities, particularly the role plays, were invaluable in helping me practice the concepts and build confidence in my leadership abilities. I am especially grateful to Mrs. Collins for her dedication throughout the week, ensuring every participant fully understood all the concepts.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Instructor provided excellent delivery of the course material and provided work experience examples.

I loved Beth's approach on classification and enjoyed her expansion of its topic each day. It has helped me to feel more stronger in my role, and my thought process in classification. It can be tiring, with the information overload, but Beth made it refreshing and fun. Overall, it was a good foundation to jumpstart for when I do classify positions.

Arlene's upbeat and friendly personality, coupled with her professionalism and vast knowledge, created a highly productive learning environment which I found easy to learn from.
