Wisdom worth repeating:
Pay now or pay later
Back in the 1800's, Englishman John Ruskin had quite a lot to say about the high cost of paying too little.
He wrote: "It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money and that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do".
Ruskin is also credited with another gem well worth mentioning. He said, "I have no quarrel with those that sell for less. They know what their stuff is worth".
This wisdom is even more important when it comes to securing the kind of high quality instruction that makes amazing careers and reputations possible.

“I had created ice carvings in the past, and went to AICD to improve my skills. I'm so glad I did. Paul treated me so well, and he genuinely cares about his students' success. The one-on-one instruction is the best way to learn such a detailed craft. I wouldn't change a thing. Also, the food was great - thanks for the nice meals.
I hope to return and take the next level in the future. Thank you, Paul, for offering this program!”

AICD's Lifetime Certification Guarantee:
Due to AICD's proven "hands on" approach to comprehensive instruction and its stature as a private school, you can earn each level of AICD Certification for life with no certification fees, no yearly fees, and no membership requirements.
To maintain the integrity of AICD's educational programs, activities such as attendance at conventions, competitions, and related activities cannot be counted for receiving AICD Certification. A carver's unique experiences may, however, qualify as the prerequisite for enrolling in AICD's advanced instructional programs. |
