Student Feedback: Real Reviews, Real Impact

“I thought the layout of the online course was very well done. It was simplified well and easy to understand. The hands-on portion was a lot of fun! The learning environment felt very relaxed and inviting. The instructors were great and very knowledgeable. – M.G”

“Comparatively to previous foundational courses I’ve taken, APT has been the most comprehensive. I appreciate how it was rooted in evidence base practice and theories. The abundance of supplemental resources and academic resources and articles provide new injectors with a great sense of confidence to practice safely. - T.S”

“Very informative from the videos to articles to PDF's. I loved the way you used different techniques for learning rather than just using one. – K.B”

“The course material was really useful in building that foundation knowledge, and the evidence based articles to provide further information. Deb was great and so insightful. Walked away feeling a lot more confident! – A.N”
