★★★★★	★★★★★	★★★★★
"I will tell you, the course is pretty intense. A lot more material than I expected, you guys have done a really good job of putting something pretty detailed together."	"I feel like we're colleagues, so you know it's like a real firm and we work together. And they help us a lot, besides actually taking the course that has helped us a lot in setting the framework."	"I chose 5 stars because there was not a choice for (a) 10-star (rating)! I am doing this after office hours. The biggest problem I have is turning off my brain to go to sleep! :-)."
