Testimonials

We hope we have been able to help you during your transition.
We’d love if you could share a testimonial.

When I was facing a transition out of the Navy and a desire to enter the commercial aviation world, I didn’t know where to start. Luckily, I was made aware of BreakTurn and my experience with them was nothing short of fantastic.

Because of the expertise, effort, and experience BreakTurn was able to provide for me, I ultimately interviewed with multiple companies and had my top choice of who I wanted to work for. I can point to BreakTurn as a key reason for my successful transition out of the Navy and I will be forever thankful.

BreakTurn truly made dreams come true. I could never have had the opportunity to work for my employer, without BreakTurn. The process was seamless, the communication crisp, and the experience enjoyable. Thank you BreakTurn!

An excellent and helpful team, answering any questions I had and providing quick turnarounds to make sure I had everything I needed. The academy they sent me to was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and got me moving through the qualification tracks quickly and smoothly.
