Best Decision Ever!

Choosing a career as a College Consultant (IEC) is one of the smartest choices I've made.

As a former teacher, this was the next right step!

Having been in education for many years, I knew it was time for something new. I now enjoy my students one on one, have complete flexibility in my schedule and make a life changing impact of the students and parents. I only wish I'd done it sooner.

My only regret is not starting sooner.

The course was informative and helpful. Sherri made sure I understood each step of the process in our weekly meetings and I only wish I'd found this program earlier.
