The 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.
Erik Heiss, United States Air Force
I 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.
