Testimonials
"The academic content and length of this program is reasonable due to the extremely varied background experiences of each BMET student. Some students have zero experience in some/several of the subjects taught here, while others like myself have not been in school for years. The way this course was set up did a wonderful job of dusting off academic cobwebs and getting us reasonably up-to-speed, on the same page, and provided a foundation for our own continuing educational endeavors moving forward."Applies Towards the Following Certificates or Course Series
