Testimonials

I chose WVEA’s graduate courses because they are self-paced and there is a quick turnaround time between completing the course and the transcript being available. I had encouraged my WVEA colleagues to take these courses for their license renewal and I had heard positive things about the classes from those who had already taken courses from VESi.
—Adena M.

Self-pacing was ideal. I started the course before a vacation and picked right up where I left off when I returned.
—Jennifer V. (Advanced Classroom Management)

I am very grateful for the opportunity to further my education through VESi! It couldn’t have been a better experience for me. The challenge and rigor was just right, the course was pertinent to my situation, and registration and submission of the course was a breeze.
—Laurie A. (Course: Behavior is Language)

I thought the course was great. It was rigorous and I got a lot out of it. Loved the nugget and the unit on fractions.
—Liz W. (Course: Teaching Elementary Math Conceptually)
