to dispatcher stress trying to find one to send my people to. Survive and Thrive is
by far the best and the only one that everyone has felt the same about!!

basic enough so I could grasp and also elaborated/adjusted to those with more
experience. All material was covered in appropriate amounts. Great Class!

before"
