I finished the 300-hour professional certification and the short-term course too. Meeting people from different backgrounds was my main reason for signing up. I felt pretty neutral about the whole thing. As someone who learns best on their own, the structure worked fine for me. It did what it said it would, nothing more, nothing less. The materials were decent and easy to get through. I can’t complain too much, but I wasn’t blown away either. It’s a solid enough option if you’re self-motivated and just need the certificate.
