GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS

We Our Grads!

I was in business within eight months of being out of Sunstate and I think part of the reason is Sunstate prepared me for how to handle a business, how to be a professional, and how to establish and keep a good working business.

Sunstate prepared me better than any school I have been to. I had a job even before my license came in the mail. They offer everything that you could ever ask for. They just set you up for true success if you are willing to put in the work.

I recommend Sunstate Academy because you will get the highest level of education in the state of Florida. I mean, second to none, and be happy with everything that you learn and all of the people that you are working with.

The atmosphere is dynamic. You come in and the energy is already high and it just makes you jump in. You have to experience it, but it’s a very high energy, fast-paced, cool atmosphere. I'm a proud Sunstate grad!
