Growth Of The Comprehensive Course Training Structure From The Year 1984
In 1984, this course started as a 2-volume "basic course.” Over the years, so much material was added that it eventually became the "Comprehensive Course of Handwriting Analysis™
Because of the addition of so many features, the course had become cumbersome. In 2009, the course was divided into 5 modules, with each module teaching one specific aspect of the course. (A Module is similar to a 16 week college semester. Students will be awarded 3 study units per Module).
The latest changes are designed mostly to enhance the motivational aspects of the course. For instance, the 2010 edition will
recognize students’ efforts through end-of-module transcripts;
include students in IHSA’s educational community through personal ID cards;

reward graduates with a prestigious, university-like diploma;
reward outstanding students’ achievements with a high status “Honor Roll” diploma

Course Materials for Module 1, "Learning Traits", of the Comprehensive Course of Handwriting Analysis™
In Module 1, students learn personality traits. Two manuals describe and illustrate 100+ personality traits in depth. There are 10 chapters, each one dealing with one personality syndrome (responsiveness, emotional memory, thinking patterns, self-concept, drives, productivity, interpersonal relations, aptitudes, defenses and fears).
While most other handwriting courses list only brief descriptions for each trait, the Comprehensive Course provides detailed trait descriptions. In addition, Module 1 includes another volume with additional trait descriptions. No other course provides so many trait descriptions and in in such depth.
Each lesson includes a self-test so students can check their understanding of the material. Test answers can be checked against the model answers that are also provided.
At the end of each module, students will submit a Module Test so ISHA. They will be then be awarded a Transcript(see illustration at right) listing the units studied, the module grade, and the grade point average. If the GPA is 3.5 or higher, students will be included in ISHA’s prestigious honor roll.

Measuring is one of the most vexing subjects for beginning analysts. Well, not anymore.
Module 2 offers a special Masters’ Course on Measuring and Measurements which provides students with step-by-step measuring instructions and examples.
Students wrote:

“…The best instruction I have seen on how to measure slant. You really take the difficulty out of it.”
“I love the fact that you keep everything simple and easily understandable.”

Course Materials for Module 3, "Learning to Write General Analyses ", of the Comprehensive Course of Handwriting Analysis™
Students transferring to ISHA from other “schools” are usually surprised how quickly and easily they learn to write professional, marketable analyses. With other schools, they have been taught personality traits and given a few descriptions for each trait, but they never learned how to combine and relate traits to each other into meaningful analysis.
Graduates of the Comprehensive Course write analysis confidently and easily. As a student of this course, you too will learn to write analysis reports that will impress both you and your prospective clients and will boost your credibility as a professional handwriting analyst.
Module 3 and Module 4 both teach analysis writing in depth.
Module 3 covers general analyses and specifically teaches how (a) to score the handwriting, and (b) write the analysis from beginning to end. This module Includes an analysis form, sample analyses and plenty of examples.
As a special bonus, two more volumes of trait descriptions are included. They are loaded with phrases to be used specifically in general analyses. With these two volumes you will never run out of things to say, no matter how many analyses you write.
These books show how to relate individual or conflicting traits to each other – something that is not taught in any of the other courses. As a bonus, they also list opening statements, closing statements, connecting phrases, etc.
Course materials for Module 3 include:
(1) Study guide for module 3

Course Materials for Module 4, "Learning to Write Vocational Analyses ", of the Comprehensive Course of Handwriting Analysis™
Module 4 covers vocational analyses. Writing effective vocational analyses for corporate clients is something very few analysts know how to do regardless of their experience and training. Module 4 teaches how to write such analyses easily and painlessly.
When I first started writing analyses for business clients, I jotted down copious notes on scratch paper but usually ended up with a jumbled mess. I lost my train of thought and went off track from what I wanted to say. I often was so frustrated that I lost my enthusiasm for writing analyses altogether. Then slowly, I developed worksheets that truly organized and streamlined analysis writing and made it a straightforward process. They slashed writing time considerably, and also greatly improved the quality of my work.
Now you can enjoy the time saving, profit producing benefits of these worksheets. You'll never find yourself staring at a mess of notes, not knowing where to begin. All the pain of writing analyses will disappear when you use these simple but organized tools of the trade that I developed for you.
Book 8 is another volume chockfull of trait descriptions specifically for vocational analyses.
A special bonus book lists trait requirements for approximately 500 jobs based upon trait requirements by the U.S. Department of Labor. A MUST for vocational analyses.

FREE GIFTS: Module 5 also Contains 3 Valuable Bonus Items
1. “Making Your Handwriting Sell in the Internet Age”
In essence, the diploma test would finish the course.
But in today’s competitive business environment just knowing handwriting analysis well may not be enough. Many reputable graphology schools teach their students handwriting analysis, but ignore the important skills required to earn a respectable income in the real world.
With the Comprehensive Course, students receive a complete graphology business start up system.
“Making Your Handwriting Analysis Sell” is the result of many years of testing the marketing strategies included in the Manual. It gives valuable information how to earn money as a graphologist both off-line and on the World Wide Web.
It contains practical hints on getting into a consulting business, marketing letters, and contracts for the handwriting professional; in short, all the tools needed to a handwriting analysis practice off the ground.
A highly useful resource is Book 9, “Questions and Answers.” It contains many of the questions and answers that Dr. Karohs has answered during student support.
2. A set of 112 Flash Cards.
The flash cards (pictured below) make writing an analysis faster and easier. They fit in a briefcase or pocketbook, so you can take them with you and be the life of a party. Even if you’re just doing an analysis in your office, just whip out the cards and in no time you will have identified all of the traits in your handwriting sample.

Here’s what one customer had to say about the flash cards,
“Your flash cards are quite simply amazing for anyone learning the science and for any seasoned expert to keep up to speed. I can honestly say that these cards are the best I’ve worked with, and considering the others out there, there is no comparison.”
These flash cards are NOT something you’re going to zip through once, put on a shelf and never go back to. Not at all!
This IS a true tool kit you’ll keep going back to, time after time, month after month. And each time you work with the cards, you will strengthen your memory and eventually you will be able to spot the traits without using the cards.
3. Mind Maps
Thanks to the generosity of Klaas Hogenesch, the Mind Maps are a FREE bonus item to the Comprehensive Basic Course. Maps are the cutting-edge tool for more effective learning. They make learning easier and more enjoyable. Many students and multi-national companies are using Mind Maps to accelerate learning and boost performance. Mind Maps will help you to memorize the traits and indicators in the fastest way possible.
There are ten Mind Maps in the complete set. Always one Mind Map corresponds to one chapter.

11 Powerful Reasons to take this course
Powerful Reason #1: The course offers you solid, no-hype information.
The course is based upon sound graphological principles. Dr. Karohs has studied at renowned institutes of higher learning, among them the prestigious Psychological/Graphological Institute in Zurich, Switzerland and the Monterey Institute Of International Studies. She has also studied every worthwhile course of handwriting analysis in the U.S. Her own lifelong studies are reflected in the quality and depth of her courses. Aside from her study courses, she has written more than 70 books and many articles on the subject of handwriting analysis.
Powerful Reason #2: The course is taught by a practicing graphologist
The course is taught by a practicing graphologist, not a mail order "school" that bases its lessons upon hypothetical situations without real live experience or dollar results to back them up. Since 1978, I have worked for corporate clients on a daily basis, writing two to four analyses per day.
In addition to being a consultant, I have lectured to such prestigious professional groups as the Sales and Marketing Executives International, Financial Institutions Marketing Assn., Life Office Management Assn., Federal Bar Assn., Commerce Clearing House, Sales and Marketing Association of America, Women in Business, Savings Institutions Marketing Society of America, Mutual Funds and Investment Management Assn. etc. etc. Articles about my work have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines.
Powerful Reason #3: I am trustworthy.
How many scams are online? A heap, right?
When you deal with me, you can depend upon my honesty and integrity. My word is my bond. My customers will testify to the fact that I always try to deliver more than they expect.
One customer wrote: "I received your free updates and wish to thank you. As always you surpass all expectation in providing customer support - way beyond all others. Your kind generosity and personable style is greatly appreciated. Unlike those offering "free gifts" of inferior quality, you walk the talk in an exceedingly helpful and generous manner. I don't know how you can keep up with it all. Once again, thank you very much. "
Most importantly, you will always know where to find me. I have lived and worked at the same location for 30+ years. You can reach me personally by mail, e-mail, or by phone - I even answer my own phone! (Although I prefer e-mails, I am hearing impaired and communicating in writing is easier for me).
Powerful Reason #4: Support second to none.
One of most students' main concern is about support. When you study with ISHA, you will get support second to none. Students of the "Comprehensive Course" get FREE e-mail support. You may e-mail any course-related question and can expect a detailed answer within 72 hours. All support will be provided personally by Dr. Erika M. Karohs. All course questions should be e-mailed directly to her. Because Dr. Karohs wants students the best support possible, Course Resellers are not authorized to provide student support.
A "Question/Answer" form is provided with the course. Dr. Karohs supports many students and following the instructions in the form expedites getting speedy answers back Telephone support is is not available. With mail-in questions, a self-addressed, stamped envelope with the correct postage is required. One of students wrote:
What impressed me the most was Dr. Karohs’ responsiveness. I had many questions after studying her course. Being a skeptic, I was sure that after the sale, I would not receive great service. I was wrong. I asked Dr Karohs several questions about analyzing handwriting. Her answers were long, not short and curt like I expected. She not only answered the question, she explained why. She makes you feel that you are the only student she has, and that is a rare quality these days. On one occasion she even e-mailed me to see how I was progressing in my studies.
Powerful Reason #5: With the Comprehensive Course you get everything up front.
Most handwriting analysis schools will send you one lesson at a time. That means that if you have to temporarily interrupt your studies, you will get no lessons during that time. And if for some reason you have to quit the course, you will never get the rest of the materials, even though you paid for them. With the Comprehensive Course, you'll get all books, study materials, tests, model answers and bonus books up front. As soon as your order is received, everything is shipped to you Priority Mail (domestic) or Airmail (international). That means that within a few working days, you can start your lessons. And you get the whole big package at once.
Powerful Reason #6: Free transcript after each module
Unlike any other handwriting analysis school, ISHA offers a transcript after each completed Module, listing number of units studied, student’s grade for the module and Grade Point Average (GPA) for the course up to that point.
Powerful Reason #7: Honor Roll Diploma
Students who have a GPA of 3.5 will be included in the prestigious Honor Roll. Students who maintain Honor Roll status for all 5 modules will receive a separate beautiful Honor Roll Diploma upon graduation.
Powerful Reason #8: FREE Diploma
Upon completion of the course, students are required to submit the Diploma Test to ISHA. This includes students who may have bought the course through an authorized Reseller. Some “schools” charge a hefty fee for the diploma implying to students that if they will pay an extra fee, they will get a certificate that means more than the one that is issued for free. In fact, the implication is that somehow the state approves the certification, when this is not true at all. Even though ISHA grants the most beautiful custom made diploma of any handwriting analysis school, there is NO diploma fee. You will be proud to receive and display this prestigious diploma. It is highly esteemed in the graphological community and acknowledged as a sign of superior training in the corporate world.
Important! ISHA is not an accredited school and since there currently exists no official licensing agency for graphology in the USA, diplomas are not officially accredited. The diplomas issued by ISHA certify that graduates have successfully completed one of ISHA's study courses and have complied with all the requirements for the completion of course.
Because Dr. Karohs is recognized as a one of the world's foremost graphologists and her courses are unquestionably unmatched by other courses currently available, diplomas issued by ISHA and graduates trained by Dr. Karohs are highly esteemed both in the graphological and corporate world.
Powerful Reason #9: Discounts for international students
From my correspondence with prospective students in foreign countries I know that many find it impossible to enroll in my courses due to the killer exchange rate. To make it easier for them to participate in my study program I am offering students from countries with poor dollar exchange rates a special hardship discount of 20% off the course price.
Students are responsible themselves for requesting the international discount at the time of ordering. It will not be applied automatically.
Powerful Reason #10: Scholarships for students and in serious hardship cases
Many students have written to me about their interest in handwriting analysis; however, steep course fees often make enrollment in handwriting analysis courses difficult for them. As a former college teacher myself, I have put into place a scholarship program. The scholarship pays for 20% of the course fee.
To apply for a scholarship fill out the scholarship application form. Students are responsible themselves for mentioning the hardship discount at the time of ordering. It will not be applied automatically.
Powerful Reason #11: Scholarships for members of law enforcement and Armed Forces
An increasing number of members of Armed Forces and Law Enforcement are enrolling in my study courses. If you are interested in enhancing your professional effectiveness through knowledge of handwriting analysis, or if you have a personal interest, please contact ISHA through the scholarship application form. If you are a peace officer who retired due to duty related courses or a disabled veteran, please mention this.
The best decision you'll ever make - Imagine having freedom from a mind-numbing dead-end job, the pleasure of working from the comfort of your own home,
a thirty second commute...
Enrolling may be just one of the best decisions of your life.
Do it right now and say... "Welcome to my new life"!
Still not convinced? Well, here's letter after letter of what real people just like YOU have said:
"Erika, I must say the way you have designed your course is fantastic. It makes writing the analysis sooooo much easier."
Lorna Godefroy,
godefroy@ netactive.co.za
"Dear Erika, I just finished the second manual. What a fantastic course. Wish I had heard about it years ago. So much to learn but you've put it into easy to remember categories. Thank you so much for your years of effort. I really appreciate your great work. The cards are excellent."
Ira Clelend
irac2@ verizon.net
"I am so thankful that I came across your course."
"I am still enjoying my course. I’m analyzing my family’s handwriting and they are shocked at how accurate it is. I am so thankful that I came across your site and ordered the course. As soon as I’m finished with the one course, I’m definitely going to order the next one. I have never enjoyed a course as much as I’m enjoying yours There is so much information, I still have not finished reading all the bonus materials."
" Thank you so much for a worth wile course. If I ever come across anyone that is interested in Graphology I will recommend your course to them. I just love it!!!"
Michelle Kierznowski
michelle@ netgate.co.za
"Erika, here is in detail why I prefer your course over the "other course"--
It really boils down to one major thing and that is that the "other course" does not teach how to do a written analysis. Yes I was taught traits, but nowhere was I taught the hierarchy or sequence of penning it to paper, and this was what I struggled with mostly. There were no headings that one could use as a guide line to go by because the book chapters are not defined.
It used to take me days to write a report for a client because could not find the words to describe the person. What I landed up with was a "grocery" list of traits. There was no structure and I just did not know where to begin. I just couldn't string it all together to make it look as if it had been done professionally.
I actually pulled out notes at 3.00 am in the morning and re-read through the entire course book to see if maybe I had skipped something. There is absolutely nothing that suggests how to do a written analysis. In contrast, your course includes two "Complete guides for writing analyses"
I also prefer your marketing manual because you go into detail about setting up the web sites and you give the pit falls to watch out for. If I had to summarize the "other course" I would say it was not a COMPLETE course in that it was lacking the most important part. "How to write an analysis."
What use is it if you learn everything and you can't give a client a written report?
NO THERE IS JUST NO COMPARISON IN COURSES. Erika, your courses are FAR superior. I had the "other course" for almost a year before stumbling on your site and I have NEVER looked back. With your course, one can actually write a report using only the headings of the Mind Maps. I find your Mind Maps wonderful and if you learn them off by heart, one can write, or even give a verbal analysis in the correct order without stumbling. That's how I use them. Also that way you learn your traits in the order that you should with intensifying traits as well as reductive traits. The "other course" doesn't teach any of that.
If I wanted to know what drives a person, I would immediately know and recall the "Drives" and their traits and I would know what would hold them back. If I wanted to know what they were good at, I would recall the "Aptitudes" and look for those traits. For me learning the mind maps was essential. They are a blessing and the headings are how I write my report. It's as simple as that. The "other course" doesn't have any of that.
The other thing that I really love is your "Trait list" with descriptions. I couldn't have done without them. They are wonderful as well as your Dictionary.
Erika, your course is without doubt the best. For what paid, I got much more in value from you than with the "other course." Once they had my money I was left to fend for myself. You are always there, you answer all your questions, and you are constantly letting us know your specials and any new material that you are working on.
I have NO regrets for switching and have gained a friend in you. I value All your material and can honestly say that your courses are the BEST."
Lorna Godefroy

"Just to let you know that I’m really enjoying your course. It is so fascinating. You have really put a lot of effort into preparing it. So Thank you. I can’t wait to do the following course."

"I learned more from your course than all the rest combined."
"Erika: I just wanted to tell you that I've learned more about hw from your course in two months than from ....... course, .......... books and all the rest combined. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge."
irac2@ verizon.net
"I had heard great things about your course but I never expected this "
"Erika. I received your course and it's absolutely amazing and very informative. I had heard great things about your course but never expected this. I was like when I received it. I tell you what. I know and have confidence when I complete your course, I will be one of the best out there. You did a marvelous job words can't even explain the information. It's fun, fantastic and understanding the material makes it beautiful and your explanations go far beyond what any handwriting book explains. The Measurements course alone is invaluable. Erika you are the angel that wants all your students to not only love their interest, but give them the best of the information including for building a carrier."

"Wonderful trait explanations."
"I am busy with your course and please let me again manifest my appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful job of traits explanations you have done !!! It is I am sure unique: The multiple ways you show of explaining the positive and negative aspects page after page and the interrelation between traits is a tremendous help both for understanding what it is all about and as well for writing an analysis. Yes ,Thank you so much again!!!!"

"Your course is much more practical when it comes to writing reports"
"Dear Erika:
Without your sincerity, generosity, and clarity of explanations, I wouldn't have been able to learn handwriting analysis as thoroughly as I did. Before I come to know you, I checked other courses, but none of them were suited for my purposes. Your courses and the system of teaching are much more practical, especially when it comes to writing the reports. After I received your acknowledgment on the test, I gave the report to the person I had analyzed, and he was so impressed, he knew he had weak point which is affecting his life, but he didn't know how to really define it until he read the report, he's now working on improving himself.
Your courses are one of its kind, and you make people's life easier when it comes to learning Graphology."

"The measurement book is excellent"
"Dear Erika, The measurement book is excellent as well. I haven't printed it out yet
but I have sure made my cards and I love them! The best instruction I
have seen on how to measure slant. You really take the difficulty out
of it. It is simplifies a technical difficulty for me unlike anything I
have used. Kudos to you!"
helen@ hlarsen.net
"Your courses are like no others. You cannot even compare them."
"Hi Erika, I don't know where to start because I have NO words to thank you for your fantastic courses. As you know I ordered the Deluxe course another "handwriting school" way back in December 2004. It cost a fortune because I was paying in Dollars. The parcel arrived and it looked most impressive. I was excited to get started but soon gave up hope. There were a lot of CD's and VHS''s but they had just taped their seminar and put the same material on Both the CD's and the VHS's. In other words they had duplicated the same material. I was not impressed. They made it out to look like you were getting a lot but in fact you weren't. There were some books and a marketing manual. I battled on my own not knowing what I was doing for months then I bought another handwriting course from a book seller in South Africa but she didn't teach graphology, she just sold her e-books. I bought them all thinking that somehow I would manager. I didn't. Erika I then found your site. WHAT A BLESSING.
Your courses are like NO others. You can't even compare them. They are like chalk and cheese. They are worth their weight in gold and I truly treasure them.
Firstly you offered South African's a cheaper rate because of the low dollar exchange rate so naturally I felt "ripped off " by paying the full price for the course form the "other" school... I packed up all my other notes and shelved them and then started from scratch.
I did your beginners course, wrote the exam and got my first Diploma. Since then I have done the Comprehensive course and passed, I am just waiting for my Diploma to arrive. I finally feel that at long last I am getting somewhere. I don't feel bad now to charge for my time. This is the course that I was most impressed with.
You have made it soooooooooooo simple. If one just sticks to your notes and does them step by step as you have explained then writing the analysis is a breeze. There is absolutely no guessing. Once you have done the slant measurement then the trait list, use the trait score table and enter it on the General Handwriting Analysis worksheet". Then it is just a matter of following in the book from Volume 5 & 6 to write your analysis. IT'S THAT SIMPLE and most of all, the book is written in the order that you write your analysis so there is no jumping backwards and forwards. I LOVED IT. It was soooo easy. It was the easiest analysis to write because you just pick one or two sentences for that particular trait and best of all that means that NO 2 analysis will ever read the same.
Erika you have truly out done yourself with your time and knowledge. You couldn't have made it easier to write an analysis. I am soooooo glad I fumbled across your site. I just wished I had have found you sooner. You would have saved me a packet.
I must also say that I love the "Mind Maps" They make it sooo easy to memorize and I use that when I am doing a verbal analysis for someone. Also the flash cards. They are really great. I have cut and laminated them and carry them around with me where ever I go. I use them often as an "ice breaker. I have purchased the ET and the Step by Step course and plan to write both exams and then go on to do the intermediate course. You are the most generous person I know and the most helpful. I thank you for all your hard work and all your notes. If you want to change or use anything I have said, you may.
I am proud to be a student of yours and would gladly recommend you to anyone wanting to do graphology as a hobby or a career.
There truly is NO comparison between your course and the others.. For example just ONE of your books is over 700 pages, and just how many books have I received. I can't count because they just keep coming. You just keep giving and giving and giving and only have your students in mind.
Erika, you may all my comments for your website. If anyone is interested in hearing from me in person how the handwriting course you and from "the other school" compare, please have them write to me at my e-mail address.
Erika, many thanks for all your help.
Regards

It is the best course that I have taken.
Dear Dr. Erika M. Karohs,
I have finished the contents of the handwriting analysis course. I found it very interesting and very valuable. This course was different than the other courses that I took in graphology. It was very organized and very rich in information. I found the trait dictionary and the flash cards very useful. A lot of examples & illustrations were in the books (PDF) which made the reading from them very interesting. In a word, this course was amazing. It is one of the best courses that I have taken.
Thanks.
With best wishes,

Your flash cards are quite simply amazing for anyone learning
the science and for any seasoned expert to keep up to speed. I
can honestly say that these cards are the best I've worked with,
and considering the others out there.. there is no comparison.

Your flash cards are an incredibly useful tool
"These flashcards are an incredibly useful tool, not like another 'deck' that I saw. It was simplistic and only had 40 or 50 cards with very shallow information. There are 112 very precise and well defined examples on these!
These flashcards keep the information fresh in one's mind, just flip through them whenever you have a few minutes to spare and you will embed this valuable information into your memory. "
- Robert E. Jones
Your flash cards are "user friendly"
Dear Erika,
I find the flash cards so very useful. You have really done an outstanding job on making them user friendly -- as are all your materials.

What former IGAS students says:
I LOVE YOUR COURSE!
Though I was more of an intermediate student with IGAS, your basic course is more substantial intellectually and in clarity.
I haven't had time yet to read thru all the materials but can see that you really have simplified this study into something that can be readily grasped.
I welcome the opportunity to stumble out of the fog!!"
A third level IGAS student:
Your course explains how other traits add their influence.
The information was all very familiar. I'd learned this all through IGAS, but your course explains how other traits add their influence at the end of each section, and I really appreciated having that information so readily accessible."
(This student is now moving on to the SSS course.)
Names are all in my files for your reference. Please just ask.
Your course is the most ideal and comprehensive form of learning
Erika, your work is truly awesome, and I've referred your site to many of my colleagues and friends. By far your course is the most ideal and comprehensive form of learning. Thank you Erika, once again for sharing your talents and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Please feel free to use my email address in the testimonial or as a reference for future students of your course. It would be with my greatest pleasure in doing so.
With kindest regards,

Am literally in awe with the amount you jam into your materials
Thank you for responding to my e-mail so soon. You are, without exception, the absolute best "personal business" I have had the privilege of working with.
I am really digging into your course. I have a real need for detail in all the subjects I study and am literally in awe with the amount you jam into your materials. It is not often that I have the privilege of feasting on such a smorgasbord. All your "meals" are fit not only for a King, but for his whole kingdom! I wish I discovered you many years ago. Thank you for a job well done.

You've no idea how much the Mind Maps have helped me
You've no idea how much the Mind Maps have helped me speed up with the analysis I am doing just now. Analyses always take me ages and ages!
Many, many thanks again.

You have done a superb job!
Before sending my comments to you, I wanted to evaluate your book.
You have done a superb job!
The book is certainly worth the investment and I'll be sure to tell other Graphoanalysts about it. Catherine Lane, President

This course absolutely surpasses any other course I have investigated
Just forwarding to you my testimonial on the Comprehensive Handwriting Analysis Course.
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this testimonial for Erica Karohs. I have just completed the Comprehensive Course and found the course extremely informative and in-depth. To me this course was designed with great thought to any student new or experienced in order to give an excellent understanding of handwriting analysis. I was and still am blown away by the extra bonuses provided along with the course. This course absolutely surpasses any other course I have investigated in the past, because the content was so simple to follow I didn't feel like I was left in the lurch or wondering "What?".
I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to have a concrete foundation in Handwriting Analysis. It would be a wise investment. I am now quietly moving onto the Evaluated Traits Course after that it will be the SSS Course.
Thank you Erica for such a well structured course, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!

NILE INVESTIGATIONS
I have received your course and I am having a lot of fun working on it. I have my 10 writing specimens and have been working on the first 2 chapters. Already I have gained much valuable insight into the personality of one of my supervisors at work. This has made communication much more effective.
The course is well constructed and the additional manuals are great. I am working my way through it exactly as you have instructed. Thank you for getting me started off on the right foot.

Your course is fabulous! Certainly more then I ever perceived it to be! You haven’t left one stone unturned in your material. I truly feel this is a wise investment well spent, and menial in cost, for what you have compiled in knowledge and research. Kudos go to you Erika, in your passionate endeavors, and your generosity in sharing your knowledge with others!

Making Your Handwriting Analysis Sell' (bonus book with the course) is a realistic profit guide
I wish to say that I think your new book 'Making Your Handwriting Analysis Sell' (bonus book with the course) is a realistic profit guide to any student that has just completed your Handwriting Analysis Course. I would say that like myself, if any of your students are serious about making a career of handwriting analysis then they should definitely invest in this book. I have found it to be a great resource guide for marketing online and offline too.
You have also considered the Internet novice, whilst also including information for the more experienced person. I can see that by producing this book you really want your students to success. Thank you Erika - for helping us all the way!
Sincere regards,

You surpass all expectation in providing customer support - way beyond all others.
Received your free updates and wish to thank you. As always you surpass all expectation in providing customer support - way beyond all others. Your kind generosity and personable style is greatly appreciated. Unlike those offering "free gifts" of inferior quality, you walk the talk in an exceedingly helpful and generous manner. I don't know how you can keep up with it all. Once again, thank you very much.
Name is in my files. Many, many more letters are in my files.
