I'm submitting my photos and resume tomorrow to a few agencies because i just moved and Im not sure if I should leave my classes at JRP under my training section of my resume. Lucky, I wasn't exactly scammed at JRP since they gave me a full "scholarship", but I know the place is usually a huge scam and I realize that it doesnt really look good on my resume. However, I'm not sure it looks bad either...I have a lot of training without JRP being listed so should I remove it?

No, don't remove it. instead of putting jrp put the teachers name.

I would. It's too much of a joke in this industry. Or like the other poster said, don't mention JRP, but put the teacher's name.

If you have enough training without it, keep it off. Putting the classes with the teacher could lead to questions you'd rather not answer. When one of my DD's teacher's ended up getting balcklisted (ugly situation), we took all the classes with her and her school off the resume.

The initials JPR should never appear on any resume for anything. I would go with the teachers' name.

I agree with everyone.

In this business, you are known by the company you keep. Unfortunately, the Powers organization suffers from a highly dubious reputation. I wouldn't list it.
