CVAE will meet you where you’re at. There’s no judgement. I know I wouldn’t be where I am if I hadn’t gone there. I’ve mastered the computer, and I’m now brushing up on Math and English skills to help with future CCV classes. I may go for a bachelor’s degree after this. I never thought I’d be able to do any college, but at CVAE I learned that I can. Who knows what’s next?
