I came with an established chant and the instructors did a great job of breaking me down and helping me rebuild to a more professional type of bid-call. I liked how instructors worked with each student individually at the levels each of us were at. I loved the camaraderie in the classroom and working with such a diverse group of people. I recommend WCA for anyone wanting to succeed in this profession.”
