The ECA program is designed very well. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge in a short period of time. The instructor has rich experience in both field work and in her instruction, which is heuristic, lively, and exciting. The flexible schedule, skilled instructors and practical curriculum have given me the opportunity to learn the skills that employers need.
