: : : : : : : They do have a website, www.tartanpublishing.com and they have a good report from the BBB. But I just know if I should go with an at-home course or check into a local college.
: : : : : : : Thank you!
: : : : : : I am taking that course right now. I have had no trouble with it as far. I am now waiting to take my final test. Thanks

: : : : Renee, I too am having the same problem my chapters 9 & 10 are identical-what did you do? Also how did you contact Tartan? No one called me back when I called the company-help!
: : : : Thanks. Michelle
: : : I saw the ad in my newspaper this morning. It sounded a little hokey to me, so I decided to look Tartan Publishing up on the internet and came across this posting. I have a question that hopefully someone can answer: Once you've taken their course, what if anything do they offer to assist you in getting a job?
: I just finished and received my certification I can answer some of your questions just email me. if you email me
I also paid to take the course for MT and due to circumstances out of my control was not able to get to it as soon as I got it. Now I find when I go on to the web site that the whole thing has gone out of business! What is everyone doing? Is there a law suit or anything? I can't even get an e-mail to go through.
Thanks. Lori
