What our customers have to say about PeachTree and Richard K. Nongard's Online and Homestudy
continuing education training classes:

> Thanks for the offer of a free course to assess what your courses are like.

> Dear Richard and Paula,
I just want to thank you for writing the most insightful and helpful material I have read in some time: The Perfect-Victim Factor (6 hour online course).  I have just decided to go back into counseling after many years of research and raising a family and was shopping for CEU units online when I found your site. I must stay that the value of your courses, at least as evidenced by the one I just read through (in one sitting!) is far above any of the others I have perused. Well done! I discovered helpful tips for my own growth as well as for my clients. I look forward to spending more time with your thoughts.  ~ Warm Regards, Deborah.

> This book (Psychosexual Disorders - 6 hour online course) was not only educational, it was humorous and entertaining! Thanks! I couldn't put it down.

> I really appreciate your online home study courses. I live in Colorado now, and I'm keeping my Texas LPC current. If it want for your online courses, I wouldn't be able to get my Ethics workshops. Thanks!

> I like the idea of taking courses online. It saves time, gas, and money. Plus, I can take the course anytime I want and not have to wait for a specific date.

> These courses are so wonderful, and much more interesting than conventional read-a-book CEUs that focus on theoretical issues that make no sense whatsoever. Thank you for such a wonderful change of pace!
