Assorted Testimonials
The exam was effortless for me after having taken Dr. Ibrahim seismic course. There was an abundance of questions to answer that were wide-ranging and the course exams were especially helpful in strengthening my understanding of the material. I reviewed material from another course as well and found the material in this course of better quality and slightly greater difficulty; which I believe is a better preparatory strategy. The material covered all topics necessary to pass the seismic examination and assisted in my time management and familiarity with actual exam conditions. This is hands-down the best course to prepare engineers for the CA seismic exam and help pass the exam on the first attempt.

Unlike other review courses out there; the subject matter approach was to master the fundamentals of the material rather than memorize where to use what formula. Ahmed was a coach and an instructor, always there to explain and encourage. The personal attention paid to each student taking the course was unlike anything I 've ever seen. Simply put, if you are willing to focus and work with Ahmed to learn the seismic analysis of buildings, take this class and feel confident knowing you will be passing the exam. Thanks again Ahmed for all your help.
