"I was working in a field that was going nowhere. I knew that I had nowhere to grow in that field, so I began courses for Medical and Dental Assisting. I can't even tell you how much my life has changed. I got my job in a podiatrist's office before I was even done with the course. I learned so much by taking the classes and working at the same time. I also know that I never would have gotten that job without these courses, and for the first time in a long time I can honestly say that I love my job. One last thing I would like to note is the confidence I gained from completing these courses. I am now looking towards finishing my bachelor's degree online. Because now I know I can do it."

Medical Office Assisting, Career Diploma

"It took me about four months to make the decision to pursue a career in Paralegal Studies. Once I made the decision and enrolled with Ashworth, I immediately felt I'd found the right career for myself. It was hard working full-time managing a restaurant and studying at night, but I finished and learned so much.  Now I have a wonderful full-time job in a worker's compensation firm here in Jacksonville, making much more money than I did in the restaurant business. Now I'm using my brain rather than punishing my body as restaurant jobs tend to do. Thanks to Ashworth College."

Paralegal Studies, Career Diploma

"I enjoyed my Health Care Management program through Ashworth College. What I liked most about this college is that they provided me the flexible schedule to complete my study. I am a full-time employee as well as full time mom. I don't have time to travel to attend evening classes. Ashworth College gave me the opportunity to study on my own time as well as made sure I am consistent with their program. They have great staff that supported and encouraged me every step of the way. They took their time to make sure I understood my homework and best of all they even followed up with me to make sure I completed my homework and returned it on time. Their tuition program is wonderful. They gave me a discount and the flexibility to make monthly payments. I like everything about Ashworth College and I would recommend to anyone, especially those like me who cannot find the time to go to college because they have a full-time family to support. I did it and I know anyone can do it too. Thanks to Ashworth College that made it possible for me to get my college degree."

"I just thought I would share my good success with you. I graduated from your Criminal Justice Degree program about a year ago, and I am now the Victim/Witness Coordinator at the State Attorney's Office of the State of Florida. I attributed my success to the great legal training I received from Ashworth College."

Robert Christie
Criminal Justice, Associate Degree

"I enjoyed my program of study very much! It has helped me gain rewarding positions in my current career. I was promoted to Shift Manager at the Residential Children Youth Facility where I have been employed for five yrs. I have also received offers from my current employer to become a Therapeutic Support Staff for troubled youth (which I am sure I will accept soon). I have received a $3.00 an hour raise, just for graduating. I loved the freedom of your program being able to schedule time for study at my convenience. I appreciate all the effort and help I received from the staff, I am proud to say that I am a graduate from Ashworth, thank you!!"

Susan Colosimo
Psychology, Associate Degree

"After 5 years of not having a high school diploma, I decided I was ready to have the same advantages of all my graduate friends. In less than a year I completed my studies and have my diploma in hand! With the support of my husband and my children I finally achieved my goal!! Now my children will see how hard their mommy worked to show them that effort really does pay off, and it's never too late to learn. Thank you to the entire Ashworth staff for being so attentive and caring. Your people are great, and your help is always useful. I couldn't have attended a better school that fit my schedule. May you reach many more students and help them reach their goals. Kudos to Ashworth -- what a blessing you have been to me and my family!!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for guiding me in the right direction for what turned out to be the best career decision in my life. I have now started my own business and have more than 20 nutrition clients. The name of the company is Metamorphosis, LLC. I have been in business now for a little over 4 months. I am so confident in the material that I have learned through your Nutrition program and I constantly find myself using all my books as valuable references. Thanks Ashworth for an incredible experience."

Nutrition, Diet & Health Science, Career Diploma

"Ashworth's program was just right for me, studying at my own pace and online was convenient. I love the idea of not having to attend class at set times. The tuition was affordable and fit into my budget. The program content was stimulating, challenging and easy to understand. I was especially impressed with the quality and number of illustrations and examples used to explain the life work experience expressed in the course texts. I am happy that I was able to accomplish my goal of achieving higher education with Ashworth. I feel that I have now given myself the opportunity for a chance at promotion on the job."

Lydia Lewis
Business Management, Associate Degree

"I am a working mom with two children and a husband. I am also 40 years old. I have been trying to complete my college degree since I was 19 years old. I am a workaholic and never had time to go back to finish what I started 21 years ago. Ashworth College gave me the opportunity to complete my goal. I could study anytime I wanted to. Their tuition is extremely reasonable and the fact that they are accredited by the Distance Education Training Council is what helped me make my decision to choose Ashworth College. I already had the work experience, but now I have a degree to back that up."

Terri Rollins
Healthcare Management, Associate Degree

"The day after I quit school I realized I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was only able to get a job in a factory and I hated it. So I decided to go back and get my diploma. I just received it today and I can't stop smiling. Now I can get the job of my dreams! I would have to say this is the smartest thing I ever did. I was happy doing it this way because I was able to go at my own pace, and I could get help anytime I needed it.I could still work and take care of my family. I just want to think Ashworth for letting me try again."

Cristy Russell
High School

"I enjoyed your program of study very much. Mostly I liked the way I was able to progress because it gave me time to study at my own pace and work around my schedule. It has helped me so much by taking this course because it refreshed those skills I previously learned through experience, taught me things that I didn't already know, and allowed me to share my new knowledge with my employees. Thank you for the opportunity that you have given me to further my career and be so much more successful."

Doris Adams
Child Care Career Skills, Career Diploma

"I am thrilled to have completed HVAC work program. I have used what I learned already in my job as a maintenance worker. It is so fulfilling to open a unit and know before it's over I will be able to know what the problem is and hopefully fix it. Before I study your program all that electrical work and trouble shooting overwhelmed me, but now since I am confident in what I've learned, it is not so overwhelming. IF KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, I FEEL POWERFUL NOW."

Venita Burchell
Heating & Air Conditioning, Career Diploma

"I've always wanted to work in the field of animal studies, but neither I nor my parents were able to have enough money to send me to college. When I found Ashworth, it was like a little miracle. It was very affordable and easy to learn. I was able to work and do my schooling without the hassle of large classes, deadlines or a crowded campus. The homework was easy to understand and filled with LOTS of information. I enjoyed taking the animal care specialist program very much!! Thank you Ashworth!!!"

Jacqueline Derudder
Veterinary Assisting, Career Diploma

"I did not do well as a high school student and did not seek college. One day my daughter asked me why my husband and I had not gone to college, I did not have an answer, because I was ashamed. I knew I had to go in order to be an example to her and my son. I had a lot of hang-ups about going to school. Non-traditional students have a number of obstacles to overcome. To make a long story short, Ashworth gave me the confidence to pursue a degree. Your program was not only informative, challenging, and real life, it was encouraging. I am in my last 5 classes at Ashford University (your excellent program allows for credits to be transferred) thanks to Ashworth. In addition, I made the National Dean's list. I have been able to apply what I have learned at Ashworth to my current line of work, as well as applying the study techniques I obtained from Ashworth toward my BA in psychology. None of this would have been possible for me without Ashworth, the "go-at-your -own pace is a wonderful tool. There was no stress and I could take my time to actually learn. It was a wonderful experience and the confidence you all gave me is something Visa can not buy….it is priceless."

Julia Inez Minnitee
Early Childhood Education, Associate Degree

"I am completely satisfied with my decision on choosing Ashworth College. The tuition is affordable and most important of all, being able to work at your own pace. The staff is very helpful and encouraging. My decision in acquiring an associate degree in Criminal Justice is based on the requirement for employment with the Kentucky State Police. I feel my education with Ashworth College has been rewarding and has given me a step ahead with a future in today's law enforcement."

Nathan Clinkenbeard
Criminal Justice, Associate Degree

"I did enjoy the program of study. I enjoyed studying at home, especially at my convenience. My studies have given me more confidence in myself. Also, it encouraged me to be more disciplined. I started the program and I finished the program!!!! I am so proud of myself!!!! The college was very helpful and kept my courses coming."

"I am now licensed in Home Day Care. I enjoy my work very much, I now have five children I care for. The day goes by fast, we have fun with learning activities, crafts, reading time. I care for these children like they were my very own. Thank you for helping make my career a pleasant day every day. I use the information I learned daily in my child day care business. The rewards are fantastic. Thank you, Ashworth."

Karen Louture

"About 3 years back, I decided to get my high school diploma, so that I could better myself in education and finance. Know when I go to fill out a job application, I am proud to put down that I have a diploma. It was a long hard road, it took me four years but I stuck with it and got it done. I am now 43 years old and I got my diploma. I would not trade it for anything, way to go."

Teresa McCoy

"On January 1, 2007 I will begin my new career as executive property manager at Imperial Properties in Tampa. Your course has made it all possible. Thank you!"

Chet Thatcher
Property Management, Career Diploma

"Thank you Ashworth, because of your program I was able to complete my High School a year earlier than if I stayed in Public School. All the problems I had in public school went away when my parents enrolled me in your high school program. Today I received my diploma, and how proud I am of myself. I learned much more from your program than what I was learning in my old school. My dad has recommended your program to the parents of three of my friends. My parents are very grateful that your high school program was there for me, and they are also very proud of what I have accomplished. Thanks again."

Justin Reed

"I really did enjoy studying Teacher Assisting. I related and used some of the things I learned to teach my own child, at the age of three. It prepared her for school. It has helped me in more than one way. It has raised my confidence, for one. Also I am currently a substitute teacher and this coming school year, I'm going to get a teaching position. Thanks a lot Ashworth, I did it."

Jennifer Dyer
Teacher Assisting, Career Diploma

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the exceptional Interior Decorating course you have provided me. I found the program of study thorough and well organized, challenging and rewarding. The education I have received is invaluable to my aspiring career. The convenience of the online exams and prompt grading reflects the care and understanding you have for people's busy lives. The hand-on assignments required were so fulfilling; it solidified my desire to work in the Interior Decorating field. My ultimate goal is to have my own decorating business. Since completing this program, I know it will happen. The words of encouragement and advice at the beginning of each lesson really kept me focused on my goal. With my diploma I received a letter of congratulations -- I believe Ashworth deserves congratulations as well. This program exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely recommend it. Thank you again."

"I very much enjoyed the motorcycle program. It opened my eyes too many things about the raw mechanics of even the most basic bike. What I liked most is the plan to build my confidence as I went through the course. It is what needed the most . It has helped me in my daily life by getting rid of negative chip on my shoulder. I am more positive about my ability, and finding a job in a shop. I know I will succeed one step at a time. I have already made money on a diagnostic ignition repair on a 125cc Honda 4-stroke Enduro motorcycle. My father in-law's bike, he gave up on it. I repaired it, he's happy, I'm happy."
