I use this guide often to be a step ahead of the game. The internet is an important tool and skill that will be needed once released. This guide wasn't confusing like the other courses. I have been incarcerated for 16 years. Now, everything is done on computers. Level has always been there for me, and I'm grateful.

Testimonials for this guide:
- Miguel, incarcerated in California
I cannot thank Level enough for these guides and the knowledge that they contain. All of you all there at Level have given me the opportunity to show the initiative that I am putting into my rehabilitative efforts with each one of these certificates. So, from the four corners of my heart... I say thank you.

I'm in a single man cell 24 hours a day, seven days a week - indefinite solitary confinement until I go home. Currently I'm Florida's one, only and worst super-max prison in the state. They provide us zero educational assistance. But through Level and its guides, I've begun a journey of meeting educational goals.
