What Our Students Say
"Cat (owner of PI Leadership Academy/Security Compliance Academy) is a phenomenal instructor. Polished, professional, and fun. I am a business owner and was looking for a high-quality course of continuing education credits required by the state of North Carolina in order to renew my company security license. I reached out to Cat, who was an approved instructor, and she exceeded expectations. No death by powerpoint, lots of conversation and anecdotes to dive deep into 74C! Highly Recommend."
