Episode Summary

In today’s job market having multimodality will provide you with the most opportunities. So we cross-train students in several skills depending on what their goals are and how far they want to go. 


Close to 90% of our students come from doctors’ offices that are paying for them to get the needed training. Often the office has either just purchased a new machine or needs to retrain staff members. 


Even though we put most of the information about our training classes on our website we find many of our students still want to call and speak with someone. However, when a student is ready to take a class we have adopted software to manage the entire customer journey, from registration and tuition payment to transcript management and review solicitation.
