My
wife and three kids thank you
Took both of
your video courses for the FE/EIT and the PE Exam and PASSED THEM BOTH ON MY
FIRST ATTEMPTS
Out of school
for 25 years, passed on first attempt, could not have done it without your
course
No local

Our company
group success story I
Passed on the First Attempt I passed the
Electrical Engineering PE Exam on my first attempt. Dr. Blank's instructional
videos helped me to focus on the material that was most important. Dr. Blank is
able to simplify complex problems in order to make them much easier to
understand and solve. If you are like me, watching videos keeps my attention
much longer than reading books. This allowed me to study for longer periods of
time and become prepared for the exam much quicker. In addition, Dr. Blank
makes himself personally available over the telephone to answer your
questions. Dave Evans, PE
Best training

Dr. Blank:
I am not sure if you remember me, but I recently prepared for the P.E. exam
(electrical) and used your videos and workbooks to prepare. We spoke a few
times on the phone when I had questions about the material. I have a B.S. in
Physics-Engineering and this was my fourth attempt at the PE exam. Before
taking your course my score history was 63, 63, and 68. Then I took your
course. I became very confident in areas that were unfamiliar to me such as
Control Systems, Stability, and Digital Logic. Thanks to you and your GREAT instruction, I
PASSED on the first attempt after taking your course!!!!. You are truly a GREAT
teacher and I would highly recommend your videos and workbooks to anyone taking
the exam.
My wife and three kids thank you as well. I
would be interested in any other videos you would recommend.
Warmest Thanks!
Sam Curtis, P.E.
Dr. Blank,
I have had the privilege of taking your
video courses for both the FE/EIT and the PE exams. On June 8th I received
notice from the State Board that I passed the PE exam.
Your courses are wonderfully taught. I
recommend you everywhere I go.
Thank you!
Steven R. Moore, P.E.
Dr. Blank
The information you provided as a review
was very beneficial & I learned from you how to take the test. But I really
needed brushing up on electronics, some math (Fourier, Laplace, linear
differential equations (LDEs), and Bode Plots), circuit analysis (Thevenin's/Norton's
Theorems); and, I never had a controls course. I had been out of school for 25
years! First, with your help I became quite confident at solving LDEs, truly
understanding Fourier Analysis and Laplace Transforms as well as Bode Plots.
Then with all the very straight forward advice on transistor and op amp
circuits, I became very comfortable solving these problems as well as learning
(I believe enough about control systems analysis to pass the test) control
systems from your easy-learning teaching method. All in such a very short period
of time I believe for me...about 6 months of concentrated effort. Incidentally,
all of the above were addressed on my test.
The things I liked most about the program
was/is that you worked problems out completely leaving no anxiety for me to fill
in the blanks, it was truly comprehensive and provided total scope learning,
sectionalized enough for me to concentrate on the areas I did not use often.
Also, I related very well to the videos and the hard copy reference material,
and the extra bonus of your personal help answering my questions on the phone
and by email. I could not have done it without your help.
Thank you very much,
Lou Faverio
Dr. Blank,
Before I bought the course, I was skeptical. I went ahead with it anyway due to
no local PE study courses. I passed the EE PE on the first try with a 80%.
Dr. Blank's course E-440 gave me all the
tools I needed to accomplish this task. I had to work hard, but I did it on the
first try! The biggest advantage of the videos was that I watched at my own
speed and at my own desk. Multiple times, when I needed personal help, Dr. Blank
always answered my questions (email and phone) cheerfully and promptly. Wow - it
feels great to be done with all that.
Gratefully relieved,
Joe Landis, PE
Electrical Engineer - Oklahoma
"· The video instruction for the Electrical
Engineering Professional Engineer's Exam is extremely comprehensive.
· The videos and review manual are well
synchronized.
· I was a little concerned about the
ability to get individual attention while using a video series for review; but
Dr. Blank answered my questions promptly and with extreme clarity sometimes more
than once.
· We used the video series in a group
environment; this works well if everyone is open and responsive allowing the
videos to be stopped and replayed as necessary. Sometimes, the interaction of a
group helps understanding. Additionally, some participants reviewed the videos
at home if they needed additional time on a particular subject.
· The video series conforms to YOU: It
allows you to choose what to study; spend more time or less time on each
individual subject-until you feel comfortable.
· I would recommend the video series as a
preparation tool for the PE exam - it is well organized by subject; formatted to
keep your studying on track."
Lucia W. Harvey, P.E.
Dear Dr. Blank,
"Your video series is the best training session I have ever used for prep for
the PE exam. Hats off to you. I have re-learned so much about electrical
engineering from this video series that can't be taken away from me.
I will send for the semiconductor
electronics lesson in the near term.
I will also recommend you to others. Feel
free to use this e-mail as you wish as a satisfied customer reference. Thanks
again," Alvin Garibaldi
Dr. Blank,
"I just want to say that you are an EXCELLENT teacher! I have 4 college degrees
and have been in school about 20 years off and on, and you are one of the finest
instructors I have ever had the pleasure of learning under. After just 2 weeks
and 3 modules, I feel more confident than I have ever felt for the exam." Tom
Powell
I
passed the EIT
just by viewing the videos
Dr. Blank,
I’d like to mention that I passed the FE/EIT exam just by viewing the videos.
Thanks,
Minhtri Pham
With your course I passed the first time after
being 14 years out of school,
while working 50+ hours per weekDr. Blank
"Thank you so much for your home study video course! I have been out of
school for 14 years and working with your video course was critical to my
passing the FE the first time. Having the right tools and coaching helped me to
systematically review all the critical areas, learn great test taking
strategies, and to have the confidence to get through and pass the exam. I have
already recommended your course to several of my friends so they can pass too!
Your course is far more comprehensive than the other preparation courses and
having the flexibility to view the videos in the comfort of my home supported my
studying while working 50+ hours per week! " I especially appreciate the time you spent
with me on the phone answering my questions and giving me valuable tips and
advice.
Thanks and with much appreciation!
Philippa Taylor
Third
time is the charm!
Thank you! I just passed the FE after using
your course. It was my third time. The first two I studied on my own. The last
time I used your video course. My score went from 69-68 to 75. So now I am off
to the PE exam.
Thanks again,
Steve

Years out of college.
Dr. Blank
As an electrical engineer out of college for almost fifteen years, I needed a
structured review course for the FE exam to help me relearn many of the basic
concepts; particularly in subjects like statics, thermo, and fluid mechanics.
Your excellent E-327 video course provided exactly what I wanted plus it
motivated me to study. I passed on my first attempt.
Thank you.
Chris
"It gave me confidence. It helped me to
realize that the solutions are often based on basic knowledge & not necessarily
on calculations."
Kathy Meiners
"Excellent instruction. The related analogies made it more understandable. It
helped me to identify short cuts. Built my confidence."
Mike Olderbak
"Challenging and fun. The instructor maintains a thorough working knowledge of
the material. He explained the most efficient techniques to solve engineering
problems."
