“My name is Kaycee McCallum, last year in March I accepted a position as the Activity Director of my facility and I needed to find the most convenient way for me to become qualified by the State of Colorado’s standards. I was told I would have to drive 6 hours to Littleton, CO for a 4 day stay for 4 months in a row to take the state approved course to become qualified. So I began to search the Web and I found a Site by Theresa for the same class done at your own pace and at home. I immediately wrote to her. I found some months with my full time job, not much homework got done. But with the course you have 9 months to complete it all. This course saved our facility over $5,000.00 because of the cost of driving, hotel, and food expense. Another great thing was the fact that if I ever had a question or problem; Theresa was just an email away. She always responded very promptly and was willing to assist with any concern I had. I will also be doing MEPAP Part 2 through Theresa’s Home Study.

“The Home Study course that I had the opportunity of taking thru Theresa Thorland was an experience I will never forget. She made the whole process a dream come true for me. The course was laid out in a way that anyone who wanted to, could follow. Theresa was very supportive and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed thru the entire process. If ever I needed her for assistance she was there for me. I am 46 years old, and I managed to achieve a life long dream, and that was to be become a Certified Activity Director. I give Theresa all the praise and glory for her constant support and guidance. I am currently enrolled in the MEPAP II course that Theresa offers as a Home Study because I would want no other to guide me thru this as well.”

I just cannot say enough about Theresa's MEPAP I course. I have been an activities professional for many years and thought that I "knew it all." I was pleasantly surprised with how much I learned during the course! The required textbooks are definitely "keepers." I will definitely keep them on hand for future reference. As for the instruction and the layout of the course, Theresa is super easy to chat with and readily accessible whenever help is needed. I will definitely be recommending this course to my very busy peers! I would not have been able to complete the course if I had to meet with a group in a classroom. I can certainly recommend Theresa's course with a great deal of confidence. Time and money well spent! Thanks so much, Theresa!

I just wanted to write you a letter of thanks for being so easily reached. It was a worry of mine taking long distance class that it would be hard to communicate. I am familiar with long distance classes from college and know how challenging it can be to reach a professor. That was not the case with you. Thank you for being so prompt in returning all my emails and questions. This course was a great experience. The assignments were very relevant to my daily work and I really feel that I gained a lot from your course. At first glance, I thought there was so much information to help me become better at this profession. This was especially true of the practicum assignments. Many of these events won't soon be forgotten by me, our staff here at Medford Leas, and most importantly, the residents. Thanks again.
