Assorted Testimonials
Dr. Ibrahim, I can't thank you enough for helping me UNDERSTAND seismic analysis and not just blindly solve problems to pass the exam. Thank you for taking the time to explain complex concepts in a simple clever way. Thank you for the extremely helpful book and the summary sheets that were crucial for my success in the exam. Thank you for taking the time to solve hard questions in class and repeating the concepts till everyone understood them. It has been a pleasure being your student. I finally passed my seismic exam and became a PE in CA thanks to your efforts.

Dr. Ahmed, I have no words to describe how Thankful I am to you and especially to your teaching skills. You take care and make sure all students are understanding the concept. I went into the exam pretty confident and exit knowing that I would certainly pass the exam. I felt like I got 80-85% questions correct. Two weeks ago, I found out that I had PASSED my Seismic exam. All credit goes to your excellent teaching skills and study material. Your 3 CBT exams are top notch and I think they were the game changer for me. Keep up the good work! I strongly recommend your class to anyone who is either familiar or not with seismic at all. Thank you again!!
