"Yesterday I spoke with Tina-Supervisor of the DUI program, and she was extremely helpful to me about my questions and her instructions were direct, and clear. Tina's professionalism and knowledge gave me motivation, security, and the confidence to 'jump right into the DUI program' without hesitation! Thank you so much, Tina. I look forward to what I will learn from this program and you!"
