This course was a good reminder about the importance of documentation.

- Keith Autry LMT Carlsbad, NM

Good course material (understandable) and good "flow" to the text. Thank you for offering such diverse topics!

- Linneah Dalmus, LMT

This course was definitely designed with the needs of the busy person in mind! I was able to earn the credits necessary for my license renewal on my own time, without the stress of making it to a class on time. I will definitely use HP! again in the future and will recommend it to my fellow co-workers!
