“I would like to start with saying thank you to everyone at Solar one for helping me with learning new skills and the motivation they gave to my peers and I. The instructors at Solar one take pride in their work. They make sure you don’t fall behind and go into detail of every topic they teach. Something else that Solar one helped me in was the one-on-one session where we would discuss my future plans for job hunting. I would recommend the programs that Solar one offers to anyone who is looking to gain experience and skills in a trade. They also offer great certifications that a lot of jobs ask for and more. I left with so much knowledge that I didn’t have before and being able to get an education with hands-on learning is hard to find.” – Alejandro Estrada
