Assorted Testimonials
The Class was very thorough. From the detailed introduction of the material and pace of the class, to the example problems and sample exams. Dr. Ibrahim gives you all the tools you need to pass the exam. During the lectures, topics are explained thoroughly, and key concepts are identified and emphasized. The problem solving workshops have step by step hints to guide you through each problem. But for me, the easiest way to learn is to do problems, and this course gives you a ton of problems to solve. Throughout the course, Dr. Ibrahim makes himself available for one-on-one help. I just wanted to thank you for the time and the materials you provided. You made it almost impossible not to do well. I am now a registered P.E., and I have Dr. Ibrahim to thank for it.

I have taken this test five times, and have also taken several classes to better understand the subject matter. Only after this class, I passed the exam. I cannot say enough about how great this class was. I only wish I have taken this class earlier, and saved myself a lot of money and heartaches. This is hands down the best class available and would recommend it to anyone taking the seismic exam. I do not have any structural background and this class provided me with great understanding of the concepts and test taking tips I needed. Ahmed, I wish there were more teachers out there that had your dedication and commitment to seeing their students achieve. You are truly one of a kind.
