Assorted Testimonials
Hi Dr. Ibrahim,
I just received notice that I passed the seismic exam (and final one) to officially obtain my PE license in California. I wanted to give you a big thank you for the course because it was very thorough and I felt confident coming out of the exam. I will definitely recommend the AEI course to colleagues in the future. All the best!

I liked the course manual very much. It is easy to read, has lots of multiple choice questions similar to those on the test, and very well organized. You made studying for the seismic exam very easy with your great and simple explanations. The extra session solving exam problems was excellent. Thanks for the great tips and short cuts to pass the exam. From my experience with other class on the subject, your class is definitely superior.

I felt confident and prepared for the seismic exam. The CD simulation exams were insightful of how well I was prepared and which type of problems were my strongest. Thank you for your help in my preparation.
