I attended your class last Friday and tested the following Saturday. I was able to pass my P-1 on my first attempt because of your strategy.

I also believe I was able to quickly answer the isometric drawing questions after you showed how a common sense approach was possible that kept me out of all the tables. Thanks for all your help, I will be recommending your services.

Lucas Beaver, Beaver Contracting LLC

I would like to thank you for all the help your class gave me in preparing for my plumbing test.

I passed, the first shot, with flying colors! I walked out of the testing center 100 percent sure that I had passed. All the other classes I took for the test, didn’t hold a candle to the way you broke all the books down. I will strongly suggest your class to up and coming plumbers.

This is the most important step I have taken in my life that will guarantee a good future for myself and my family, and without your class it would have taken me a lot longer to get to this point.

Thank you very much for your help in achieving this goal.

‘Just wanted to let you know that I passed my P-1 exam yesterday. Thank you for your study guide that was exactly on point. The technique you teach is the way to go for sure.

I would recommend it to anyone. I have used your class now to take 4 exams (H-3, H-2, H-1, and P-1) and have passed them all the first time.

Probably will take your class for the electrical exam coming up in the future. Thanks again for the help!
