    Many thanks to you and Neel for the great class!  It is so necessary that General Contractors hear the new code requirements and how to do our jobs appropriately.  


    Neel's presentation is always outstanding and easy to understand.  With his construction experience, he knows exactly how to relate the requirements. Also, I appreciate the information you email and the record-keeping you do.  You and Neel make a great team!  

     

    Thanks again for all the work you both do to offer this course.


    Best regards,

    Keith

    I passed!!! Thanks to you and Dianne for your continuous encouragement, support, and believing in me. You were right when you said it takes a lot of studying, but it finally paid off! Thanks for always taking the time to answer all my extra questions. I couldn’t have done it without you!”


    - Harry N. 

  • “Good morning Neel,

    Hope all is well with you and your family since our contractor class completed in November. I wanted to provide you an update that I finally took my building Contractor Exam in Charlotte yesterday and passed. Since I didn’t take the exam immediately following the conclusion of our class, I spent probably 50-60 hours preparing during the last 3 weeks and needed every minute. I was a bit surprised how challenging the exam actually was. Something that I found interesting was the wording of the questions, which in some cases were very nuanced. There might be two answers to a question that were correct, but one was a bit more correct than the other. Thanks for all your help in preparing for the exam!”


    - Tony W.

  • “I passed!

    Whew, what a relief! I see what you mean about the plans. I was rushed at that point and guessed a fair amount. Time management is huge. Felt like I had plenty of time, and then got bogged down looking for unknowns (tendon questions). Finished with 3 minutes left. Thanks for all your help!”

  • “Neel,

    Thanks for putting in the time and effort to prepare the class to take the exam. I have a passing grade, so you can add another to your list of successes. Two tries to pass, but I put in the extra study to pass in the end. 

    Thanks again,”
