Testimonials
"I have been meaning to write you and tell you how much I enjoyed the laser course. Barbara and Leon were not only extremely thorough and encouraging, they were there for each student. They made me feel so at ease while learning the various laser equipment, with their sense of humor and their ability to keep us interested. They also brought us guest speakers that helped us understand how lasers work from a different perspective."
-Sincerely,Joyce Mayo, Graduate
"Hi Barbara and Leon, I simply want to thank you for ALL the information you provided and taught. Your energy and enthusiasm to teach is addicting and many will benefit from your knowledge. Sometimes, you think you know it all but then find out you simply don't know enough. Your classes have helped me understand the basics and beyond. I feel confident and love the fact that you taught beyond being conservative. I like stretching the limit because that is where you get the result. .... and just want to say, "THANK YOU" for being honest and sharing your mishaps. Not many people would be willing to admit or share that information at this day and age..... You are true teachers...."
