BBB:  (Better Business Bureau)

http://denver.bbb.org/Find-Business-Reviews/
Search the name of any business to find out how they are rated.  Try "Colorado Learning" and notice our rating.  At the time of this writing Colorado Learning was rated "A+" which is the highest possible rating within the BBB system (please let us know if you notice our rating at any other level).   Ratings are based on number of years in business and complaints lodged etc.  In an effort to keep our costs lower (thus our fees lower for you) Colorado Learning has chosen (so far) to not pay to be a member of the BBB.  Businesses who make this choice are listed on the BBB web site as "Not Accredited".  Thus being listed as Non-Accredited is in no way a negative, it simply indicates a choice the business has made about how to spend it's resources.  We appreciate BBB as an organization, and they apparently have nothing but good things to say about us.  Check for yourself!
