Testimonails
Thumbs up. Just took the 2A and I'm fairly certain I would have failed if I didn't attend this course and studied the workbook he gives out. I had a few guys tell me it was a waste of time to attend the prep class and I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I believe the tests are getting harder based on what mine just was compared to what others have told me it was in the past. I'm sure it's possible to pass on your own but I'm glad I took the course and avoided the headache of failing. Thanks again man!
