Erin Gannon –
This online correspondence course was a great learning opportunity. The curriculum was very straight forward and easy to work through. The staff was very friendly, responsive and always such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this school for sewing machine repair, they offer many different repair classes, more of which I will be taking. Such a wonderful learning experience.
