Great investment. I have cut back on loads from it and have even made gift baskets from it. The book at recipes and cleaning cents, and gifts and looking good on a dime. So my question is, is this the sam ekidn of book? Will I benefit from this book? I just do not want two books that give me the same information. None the less, you guys are great.

Ashworth is awesome and the fact that u can pay as u go is awesome . and the courses are no 'walk in the park' as they say... they give u a great training and make u really work for your grades .. my son is in the high school program and well, he does struggle but the teachers help too and of course we have helped him too .. he plans on taking the heating/ac course after he gets his diploma .. :D .. i agree LAC ..

It is VERY affordable and the payments are easy to make. He will be graduating this year debt free! There are ways around traditional college and still get a great education. Also when you apply for jobs there is an advantage...the fact that you took the initiative to study for yourself at a Distant Learning School. This has opened the door for my daughter who also took some Distance Learning courses as the people who have hired her know she is a self-motivator (she took courses and finished with excellent grades without being in a traditional classroom.) There are many advantages to this and we have had nothing but positives from employers who have always hired my daughter simply because she has proved she can do a job without constant supervision! Rose,
