"The COBRA Training & Certification Program is providing my staff with an excellent foundation for understanding and applying COBRA''''s complex and often confusing regulations. It is amazing how many times, as I was studying through the material, that a question raised by one of the staff was the very issue I read the day before. Having completed the material, I am much better prepared to answer the inquiries of our clients and their COBRA participants." - Dana Hofseth

" I truly enjoyed being able to take the Training & Certification Program right at my own computer! My schedule is very busy and it was nice being able to study and test on my timeline and not someone else''''s. Thank you for providing this service!" - Sandra Wilcox
