Unlike others, what makes IGA's program stand out is that you need to earn your Certification, not just show up for class. Hiring companies recognize this.
2012 is our 40th year in business, 24th year in the USA, 6th year in Mexico, 3rd year in Canada, and 4th year offering our program onboard a cruise ship. Also, IGA has held classes in the South Pacific, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe in the past.
