"THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. And yes I meant to shout. I am deeply indebted to you for your course. Jill would probably not have been willing to work with me like this if it was not for the excellent background ROS gave me."   Wendy Keller

"Things went well last week, and [a national service] has offered me a position working from home. I didn't expect the job hunting process to go this smoothly. In the interview, I was told that several ROS graduates have applied recently with their office and they were interested in knowing more about ROS. Thanks again for the encouragement and for providing an excellent training experience."   Catherine V.

"I got a JOB! I came back from being out of town today to e-mail saying that I got a job that I applied for. It is part-time in the evenings and weekends just as I wanted, and it is doing rehabilitation reports for a physical therapist. I can't begin to thank you for all the patience and guidance over the past few months." Angie O
