Thank you so much for all your help, motivation and everything else that you did for me. You exceeded my expectation from this class, from your knowledge of the subject matter, class material and textbook organization, and timing and schedule of the class and weekly consultation, to your responsiveness and availability to answer my questions via emails and text messages. You did not mind going extra miles to ensure our success and passing the exam. Your care, compassion and encouragement towards me and other students in the class are just incredible.

Dr. Ibrahim is the best instructor I have ever had. I was initially a little apprehensive about taking an online course because I was concerned I wouldn't absorb the material. After the first session, Dr. Ibrahim washed away all those fears! His teaching style and ability to break down difficult subjects made this class truly enjoyable. I felt energized and ready to hit the books every Sunday morning with Dr. Ibrahim. The textbook, class materials, multiple choice questions and practice exams all proved to be invaluable. Dr. Ibrahim helped me reach the highest level of confidence I've ever had going into an exam. There is no class I would recommend more than his webinar!

The live webinar along with your workbook was the complete package that allowed me to confidently prepare for the seismic exam. The workbook is organized perfectly for successfully tackling seismic problems. What sets your course apart from other online courses is your dedication to the subject matter, accessibility, one-on-one attention, your love for teaching and your tireless efforts towards the success of your students. The course format was perfect for me with my busy schedule because I was able to study from the convenience of my home. During the exam, I was familiar with most of the problems because your example problems were representative of the actual exam problems. Ahmed, thank you for the exceptional learning experience and personal attention, which allowed me to not only prepare for the exam, but also better understand the material and gain a new appreciation for the subject. I strongly recommend this webinar and course workbook to anyone who wants to pass the seismic exam in the first attempt.
