Assorted Testimonials
Dr. Ahmed, the quality of your class was above and beyond my expectations. Your in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, commitment to teaching, patience, dedication, and continuous support are second to none. I learned an enormous amount of new materials in a very short time. The class was not easy and demanding but you made it effective and enjoyable at the same time. I have so many more good things to say about your class and have already recommended your class to my friends . Thank you so very much.

Ahmed, your class worth every penny spent for the review class and more. You are so dedicated and concerned that each candidate pass the examination. I honestly attended the first class not knowing a single thing about seismic design and after several weeks I can proudly say that I understand the basic principles of seismic design of buildings.

I am extremely happy with the way the class was conducted and the instructor Ahmed Ibrahim. Ahmed is not only knowledgeable about the subject matter, but his method of teaching provides great clarity. He strives to make sure that all his students understand the concepts in order to pass the exam. He devotes many hours after class to provide additional help to those who have follow up questions. His unlimited dedication and devotion is rare. I have taken the other more known seismic course before this and it was not until I have taken Ahmed's class that I have a better understanding of seismic. I strongly recommend taking Ahmed ‘s class if anyone wants to pass the seismic exam.
