I also felt like there were good opportunities to connect with other people in the course, which can be difficult these days in the virtual world. I highly recommend CIEE for all their programs!!!”

    Megan

  • “The CIEE program is interactive, informative, and thorough. It has taught me so much and I am so glad I decided to complete the program. The teacher is professional and engaging and all of the material is targeted and very informational. CIEE did an outstanding job of preparing me before the course, supporting me during and after the course.”

    Melissa

  • “You not only get to learn but can also meet others who are going through it with you. It's a way to meet cool people and even if we're not going to the same location, it's helpful to know you're not alone. It also doesn't hurt that the certification goes with you on your resume as you move forward. Would recommend!”
