Graduate School USA Reviews & Testimonials

The course was great. The instructor ensured to make the course engaging and informative

The content was excellent. I enjoyed the instructor's personalities and professionalism. They both possessed a lot of knowledge on the subject and kept us engaged.

Nice, thorough case study for us to dig into.

I am completing the course with a better understanding of being an auditor and conducting auditing operations. I would recommend this course to others who are new to auditing, especially those coming from peripheral groups like inspectors general.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided a good mix of academic content with professional stories/experiences for the different topics.

The instructor was great. He presented the information in a way that all students could understand. During the course, there were a few questions asked for clarification. He provided real-life examples that students could relate to. He also adjusted terminology so students could understand the information (ie, Charge Paragraph to Finding Paragraph). I would like to commend our instructor on his teaching method and would encourage others to take this course.

This course was very instructive for all phases of the audit process and gave me the tools I needed to further develop in all areas of a performance audit. The class content was very thorough regarding objectives, establishing causes, and the overall development of the audit plan. The instructor was very informative and respectful in answering student questions. He additionally shared how his relevant experience applied to the lessons taught in the class.

Very knowledgeable and detailed. The course really set the pace for performance auditing with the case scenarios. Finding Point sheet was my takeaway.

The instructor was fantastic! Real-life experience and application for examples. Great discussions. I'd enjoy taking additional courses from this instructor. I'm already telling my colleagues to also take this course.

Very knowledgeable and energetic instructor; related real-life experiences to the course information

The class content and coursebook are a great overview of Federal Staffing and Placement. It was a great experience. It all starts with the instructor, who was lively, enthusiastic, and fun.

Great instructor. Lots of accessible information. I loved the real-world examples.

Good class. The instructor is caring and tries to engage everyone during class.

This class was probably one of the single most helpful classes I've taken for travel that I feel is going to help me to assist my travelers better in the future. The Instructor (Bob Simon) was very well-versed in all aspects of Travel and had a wealth of personal experiences and knowledge that supplemented my understanding of some of the more complex issues. I would recommend this class and, especially this instructor, to anyone needing a refresher or for those who are just now starting to learn about Government Travel.

It was a great class. I really enjoyed the different leadership style assessments.

Great subject expert, easily related the class to our work projects.

This provides a good background for federal budget. The history creates a background framework for the information. I really enjoy learning it.

Recommend training for new employees who are involved in the financial piece and a refresher for other folks. Different levels of experience spark conversation and learning. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was able to handle all questions and concerns. Understood and acknowledged that some areas were defined by organizational SOPs.

Great instructor

Very engaging.

Definitely a great class for budget refresher.

The instructor was good. The information was very helpful.

Very informative and useful for future use.

The instructor explained everything and also asked if we understood the material and class content. Very informative and thorough.

Very knowledgeable and provided good examples.

Information is extremely pertinent; I even believe that if supervisors took this course (or even a pared-down session), it would eliminate a lot of the issues that occur. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about the subject and provided great case examples, helpful insight, and feedback when dealing with complaints.

The instructor's work examples she encountered were very helpful.

This was a great introduction to program management, and I can already see how I can apply the concepts to my work. The instructor was engaged and thoughtful throughout the course. It was the perfect length of time for an introduction. The delivery on Zoom was perfect for me, as I prefer online courses.

The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his content.

Ms. Ingram's lecture on change management was presented in a mixed media format which I find very helpful and engaging. The graphics and short videos that were shared really helped to solidify the lessons. At the end of this class, I had an entire change management toolkit that I intend to put to use immediately.

She is informative, and I like the subject.
