I'd like to thank Dr. Ibrahim for his constant help and support with the Seismic Principles exam last fall. His thoroughness, dedication and attention to detail about the exam is what helped me pass it the first time through. In my opinion, there is no other seismic preparation course to take on the market, period.

Ahmed is one of the most caring professors I have encountered during my courses for licensing. I am really grateful for all the time and effort he provided me after the lectures ended. He has the knowledge and patience to teach seismic materials in a simplified manner. I highly recommend his course.
