What Our Customers Say

April B.

"The PPI review was an essential tool when studying for the PE exam. The course was fast paced and compact when covering material. It was a great refresher for material and subject matter that I had not used in over 4 years."

Leslie

"Just got home from taking the PE exam and wanted to thank you for preparing our group for the exam. If I passed, it was due to this review course. Without the review, I don’t think I had a prayer of passing. Once again THANKS!"

Jonathan

"Thanks for a great preparation package and PE course. I waited a long time since graduation and thought I had no chance to pass on my first try. All I took into the exam was the PPI course material package, course notes, and homework, and I passed! "

"I really enjoyed the class. It was very helpful to engage with other test takers, as well as keep my studying on schedule. I have two small children, so having a class that helped me with time management was wonderful! It also helped prevent me from spending too much time on one topic."
