Assorted Testimonials
Dear Ahmed, I found your class to be incredibly detailed and informative. There wasn’t a question that I felt unprepared for after the course. The review book was a complete reference with all the code easily summarized right there for you. I really felt that you offered the best review course – irrespective of the price.

Dr. Ibrahim"
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful course. The information was very well presented and covered. The exam strategy tips at the end along with the practice exams were extremely valuable. I passed the exam and have finally received my PE license thanks to this course. This is my 3rd time taking this exam. (The first 2 times that I took the seismic exam, I took the in-person course with anohter vendor, which was 8 hr sessions on Sundays. That being said, I liked your on demand course much better for how the information was presented. Outstanding.)
Thank you again,

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.
