The class is educational and the instructor knowledgable. I like the convenience of either taking the course in the mornings for the evenings. There’s open availability almost immediately. They’re willing to work with you. Fantastic all around!

The scheduling was very accommodating. Course was very impactful and not just ‘check a box’ thing. My class per say was very interactive and I believe it was just an occurrence of great individuals, which made this whole experience refreshing. Thanks for everything A Better Choice.

By far the best team for multiple courses required by the state. Everyone is very informative from your initial phone call to inquire about services, thru to the instructors whom are very thorough. Their price point is definitely below the other competitors out there. I would highly recommend using them for a hassle free experience!

Mrs. McKinney was extremely helpful and informative. She connected with us on a personal level which helped the information stick a little better. Her teaching made me confident that I would pass my test, and Better Choice made the whole process quick and simple with the convenience of at-home Zoom classes.
