Client Reviews

"I cannot express enough gratitude to Professional Services II, LLC, and especially to Dr. Angela E. Thomas-Dupree, for their exceptional guidance and expertise throughout our accreditation reaffirmation process. Before engaging their services, we faced significant challenges in meeting the rigorous standards set by the Council on Occupational Education (COE). Without their assistance, I doubt we would have achieved the successful outcome we did.

Dr. Dupree’s in-depth knowledge, strategic planning, and hands-on support were instrumental in ensuring that every aspect of our application met COE's stringent requirements. She provided clear guidance, timely updates, and an unwavering commitment to our success. Thanks to her efforts, Allgood Beauty Institute not only achieved reaffirmation but also earned the maximum 6-year accreditation term.

Professional Services II, LLC has truly been a game-changer for us, and I highly recommend them to any institution seeking to navigate the complex accreditation process with confidence and excellence."

"Professional Services II, LLC was absolutely instrumental in helping us attain our initial license from the Commission on Independent Education (CIE). Their expertise and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our application was thorough, accurate, and aligned with the commission's expectations.

During the commission meeting, the commissioners had no questions or concerns about our application—a testament to the exceptional quality of the submission prepared by PSIILLC. The vote to approve my school was unanimous on the first attempt, which is a significant accomplishment for any institution pursuing licensure.

I am deeply grateful for the professionalism and support provided by PSIILLC. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and reliable partner in navigating the licensure process, look no further. They are simply the best!"
