Courses are very informative given by industrial experts who give you an idea of what's the latest in the industry. After completion of the course, the staff continue with their never-ending support and do their best to help prepare you for the interviews, and help with resume and cover letter writing. Overall I had an excellent experience at NACPT and would recommend it for anyone looking for a career change.
