Students:  Please bring the calculator that you plan to use during the exam, we would like you to use it doing practice calculations.  We will have calculators available if needed.

What our students are saying:

I learned the math isn't as complicated as I thought.  I am much more clear on softening.

The training materials were more understandable than any other materials that I have studied.

Ron was very knowledgable and could explain anything that was confusing.
