Taking PPI course was paramount to my greater undersatnding of the material. I did have to take the PE exam twice, however I did pass my second time. What I thought could have been done better is that the live version and the recorded versions were the same material, sample problems, and nearly the same information. I could have just used the online ondemand verison, if the garentee was also offered in that manner. The other item that could have helped more that I supplimented with a different study material was stepping through and understanding every equation in the handbook rather than 'top tier' only approach.

Tests are terrible

I am not able to track my order

Enrolled in CE FE prep course because ive been out of school for a couple years. I had Prof. Art Chianello and Robin Closs both extremely knowledgeable (one had family emergency and couldn't complete course they filled spot immediately with other prof). Not only do they teach you to the material but teach you short cuts to get the answer that saves a bunch of time. I haven't taken the test yet but it was a good review nonetheless.

I enrolled in the Live Online Course and the first thing I will say is that it is quite the financial commitment and definitely more expensive than some other courses I looked into, BUT I believe you get what you pay for. The schedule is super rigorous and no joke on top of normal life and working a full-time job, but I think the course really prepares you for the actual exam. The practice problems are more difficult than the actual exam in my opinion and the setup of the split screen with the handbook is so helpful to prepare for exam day to make sure you know your way around the manual well. I had Josh Ogle for the breadth portion of the class and I can't say enough good things, he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, was super engaging and has a great sense of humor. For the depth portion, I had Rafsan Rafi who was equally as great! He encouraged participation in the practice problems during class and had a live poll to make sure people were understanding things as we went. I always struggled on exams in college but felt very prepared during the actual exam. I did complete all the readings, homework, assignments etc. which was a huge effort, but I believe made sure I was really prepared. I had a few curveball questions on the actual exam, but I'm sure that is to be expected no matter which depth portion you take. I found out today that I did indeed pass which is a huge relief and am glad I spent the extra time and money to study with PPI2Pass. If you can make the financial commitment and time commitment for ~3 months, I recommend going with PPI2Pass hands down.

I'm doing an application to get a scholarship for the program. The responses were vague and referred me to their customer service number which after waiting hours, no one answered.

I appreciate that the instructors were very informative and also went over practice problems regularly during class. Instructors were very knowledgeable.

I like the format of the sample problems and practice questions tod do while going through the book, but I think the execution could be better. The practice question within each book chapter have several questions that don’t cover the information from that actual chapter. There is a well sample problem in chapter 7 before wells have been addressed by the book. The first water homework had a lime softening problem which was not covered in the water chapters. Some of the items I need more review for, like pumps and Henry’s law, don’t have any example problems in the book. There are several formulas in the reference manual that weren’t addressed in the water section, like the multi path pipeline equation, the NPSHA equation, and Venturi meters. The book has lots of equations that aren’t included in the reference manual at all. Variables aren’t always defined when they are given in an equation. Sometimes values are taken from tables, but those tables aren’t referenced or are included in an appendix that can’t be easily reached within the e-book.
