Unsolicited Testimonial / Nyquist Award Winner
#1
If anyone is on the fence about subscribing to InstantCert I hope this helps them to make up their mind. I was awarded the 2008 Ewald B. Nyquist Award for distance learning from Excelsior College (Go Globes!). Without InstantCert and this Forum and all of you my husband and I would never have been able to accomplish the daunting tast of earning a degree at our ages. He graduated from EC last summer with a degree in MIS. I know everyone says that if it's too good to be true then it must be but InstantCert and this Forum are the real deal! My PRIMARY study guide was InstantCert and I came to rely heavily on it. On Tuesday I finished taking MIS (on paper, I'm awaiting the results) and this was the last CLEP/DSST/ECE/TESC test for me to take and if I pass I'll be half finished with my accounting degree. None of this would have been possible without Steve and his wonderful product. Thank you.

Besides thanking everyone on this Forum for all their positive posts which helped when I got into a rut I have to especially thank KiwiLover, without whose help I never would have made it. She also dangled the carrot in front of me to keep me going when the going got tough. Snazzlefrag, I know that once in awhile you still check in, thank you for helping me with my degree plan. And ShotoJuku, you opened a window when a door closed for me.

Good luck to everyone on their journey. If anyone has a question that I might be able to answer, please email me.

Thanks for paying it forward!

What a terrific accomplishment!! Congratulations!! I've really enjoyed your posts and am thrilled that your efforts have been recognized. Let's see... that makes one Nyquist award winner and another Nyquist finalist (Barbara) amongst our IC members within the last year. Now, consider that Excelsior's current enrollment is over 30,000 students. What does THAT say about IC????

I agree with all that you said. The information and the people on this site make a big difference. I find it a real source of encouragement each day to see who is the newest graduate, or who has passed a test they were concerned about. I also find it so comforting that here it doesn't matter if you are young or old we are all students and we help and support each other.


Again Congrats on your award, keep up the good work!!hilarious
