What Our Customers Say

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! "
Ken
"My ability to pass was directly attributed to my instructor’s instruction and tips. Just wanted to thank you and express just how beneficial the course was."
Tim
"Thank you for your help in passing the Power PE exam. You led an excellent course, and I left feeling well prepared for the exam. This was my first time taking the PE, and I was able to pass on the first try. Many thanks to the PPI staff for putting this course together."
Michael
"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."
