[CALIBK12] Fresno Pacific University starts second online cohort

[Marcia Krause]

Ditto from another satisfied customer! As Darla said, I prefer the  
face-to-face sessions, but then I'm a hands-on - talk-it-out-type  
person. We did have some online classes which were great. Nothing we  
did or learned went unused in my position as an LMT (T-L). The FPU  
program is well worth the time, effort, and $$! A quality program!
