Testimonial

NALA’s partnership with eLearningDOC has catapulted the development of our certification preparatory materials and advanced training programs. In nine months, our education division was able to tackle and complete projects that have been on our project list for years.

The team at eLearningDOC stepped into our processes effortlessly and provided the leadership, guidance, and consistency that we very much needed. We had a four- to six-year plan to overhaul our advanced training seminars, and we are on track to be done in 18 to 24 months. And, of course, the acceleration of our curriculum development timeline has also accelerated our revenue timeline. I only wish I had met the fantastic team at eLearningDOC sooner!

I cannot say enough about how pleased I have been with NALA’s relationship with eLearningDOC.
