Assorted Testimonials
Great class, well presented by a professional instructor. Ahmed provided me (25 years out of school, Civil Engineering P.E. licensed in a number of eastern states) with a thorough training in seismic analysis. I had to dedicate the time for the classes and the homework while managing a Civil Engineering office. This class gave me the knowledge required to pass. Thank you very much for your great class.

Ahmed, I appreciate that you genuinely care about students learning the material and passing the exam. The extra time and effort that you spent was very generous. I believe the class is well worth the cost and that the book is well-written.

The course was excellent, and really helped me prepare for the seismic exam. For someone coming in with no seismic design knowledge, your textbook and lectures were a lifesaver. I honestly don't think I would have passed otherwise. I also appreciate how much you care about your student's success, and you checking in on me throughout the class was very motivating.
