A useful overview of using the website. I’m mostly familiar with the interface from other offerings I’ve accessed, and your specific content is reasonably intuitive. So initially I skipped it. But glad I now took the time, as the later lessons did help me with my mental organization of material.

I am beyond impressed! I asked which 'course' to take first, for B.A.T. and this was the recommendation. This 'intro' is comprehensive and informative, well-organized and answers the over-whelming question, of 'where do I start?'! WOW - everything is laid out for your particular interests...and the order of recommended study is like a university curriculum laid out in front of me! AWESOME JOB, Grisha and team! THANK YOU! Can't wait to add this 'academy' to my continued learning. WOW!

I found the Diamond Membership Orientation very informative especially due to the fact that there are specific classes I wanted to take due to a situation in my own home. Additionally, I even learned a few things I didn’t know just in the orientation and that was a great feeling for what was to come. I’ve been a dog owner for many years and thought I knew a lot about dogs until now! I’m definitely hungry for knowledge! Thank you

To be honest, I just dove into the courses, searching for keywords and got fascinated by the amount of matches and the high quality of the courses. To recommend it to others, I thought let's have a look into the orientation course to get the best out of it and now I'm even more stoked about all the features. It's a brilliant overview and as perfectly structured as the whole academy. ;)

What a thorough orientation to the Diamond Membership! I really wish I had access to this when I was first starting out as a trainer. I particularly value the course recommendations for particular focus areas/audiences. Excellent job with helping give a “roadmap” for people like me who have a hard time prioritizing what to do first because we just want to do it all…now!
