Erik Heiss, United States Air ForceThe instructor was able to take material that prior to the class had made no sense, and explained it in real world scenarios that were able to be understood.
Michelle Jemmott, PentagonI really appreciate that our instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide the information in a way that it could be understood. He also provided valuable test-taking strategies that I know not only helped me with this exam, but will help in all exams I take in the future.
Robert Caldwell, Salient Federal SolutionsThe course was extremely helpful and provided exactly what we needed to know in order to successfully navigate the exam. Without this I am not confident I would have passed.
