     I really enjoyed this class. I admit it has been many years since I was in school and never taken a class online before.  It was a small challenge at first. I made it with a day to spare. I hope I completed everything.

      Dawnya is a fantastic instructor and lady. Her hard work will pay off when many of us go successfully into great businesses.  Loved the business plan work.  I feel I really got an education out of this class.

                    Thank you again Dawnya.

I appreciate all the amount of written and listening material that has been provided for this
on-line class. I have printed all that I could find to print and also ordered (and received) the audio portions of the class.... I find very interesting and informative. I am very happy with my decision to sign-up for this class. You are a wealth of information and thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I've just submitted my last homework assignment, and I must say that this course is worth at least 10 times what I paid for it!!

The course more than met my expectations, it was challenging, and chock-full of information, wit and wisdom! I think perhaps the most unexpected part of the entire experience, was the sense that I was not working by myself.  The way that the course is structured and the content is prepared, I really felt as though this was the closest I could come to a classroom experience, without actually being in the classroom. The level of interaction and reading was perfect.  I believe that this course has given be a firm foundation and wonderful insights for my business.

From start to finish, the entire experience was delightful!

Anyone who is even remotely considering a tea business should take this course!

Warm Regards,

Sheryl

Well, I am coming to the end of this course but only the beginning of my tea journey. The knowledge and resources that I have gained in these last four weeks has been invaluable. Speaking as an educator I found the presentation of the information and the organization of the different learning sections well planned. I liked the fact that there were live links to other sites that I will be able to continue to explore. I enjoyed having some information presented in written form and other information presented in an audio form.

This kept things interesting. I truly enjoyed learning about the history of tea as well as reading the interviews with other successful entrepreneurs. Before I began this course I didn't even know what I needed to know... and now I feel confident and inspired to learn more and get started. Thanks so much.
