“I liked the way they taught me. I would like to see the program come to Pinehouse again someday!”
“The class was a success! I enjoyed being with my trainer. He was easy to understand and was so clear about teaching us until things were understood. Keep sending him to various locations and please send him back to Pinehouse! Others are wanting to take this program. I learned lots about myself and about tourism.”
