I feel like I am finally getting paid my worth.

Seth Davis

ACA prepared me for the job market the way a high school teacher prepares you for college; they gave me a solid foundation of knowledge, taught me what not to do, and consistently reminded me that there was a job out there for me if I was willing to put in the work.

Greg Swan

Initially, the flipped classroom model took some adjusting, but I found that I like absorbing the information prior and then coming to class with questions around the parts I didn’t fully understand. This helped me realize the gaps in knowledge throughout the course.
