Their certification programs give you the creative freedom to become the planner, designer, coordinator, or business owner YOU desire to be. I also love the fact that they’re accredited by the BBB and ILEA-approved. Having this credibility influenced my decision to enroll, alongside QC’s reliable reputation.
