 TESTIMONIALS

Here's what our members are saying ...

Frank, I want to thank you for a very informative webinar on the Legal and Managment module of the CBO exam, I went to the test center confident and was there to complete the paper work.Well needless to say I Passed,and am now a CBO. I completed all the questions in about 57 minutes and spent the second hour reveiwing my answers and only changed two. 

The webinar, the Study CD and study plan made it easy

 

Thank You very Much I will be looking for more webinars from Study the Code

Just a note to let you know that I passed my CBO Certification and there is NO way I could have done it without your help.  Thanks Study The Code

I just wanted to let you know that the Legal/Management CBO Seminar was very informative. It is probably one of the best presentations I've attended.  I'd love to attend anything else taught by Frank Morris of StudyTheCode.

M. Roberts
Ballwin, MO


I wanted to thank you for an informative class this past Monday and Tuesday. I just finished the legal/management module ICC exam and PASSED. I will be refering your class to others.

Your Study CD put me over the top. I just couldn't quite pass the CBO - Legal & Management portion until I got your Study CD. Once I used the Study CD, it became clear as day. Now, because of Study The Code, I am a CBO. Thanks!

D. Portier
Thibodaux, LA


Frank, just wanted to share with you, I passed the L & M Module this morning. Your seminar came to life in my mind when I read the questions. From your application and life experience of the code, I was able to succeed.

D. Irvin
St. Louis, MO


I just passed my CBO.  I would have never passed it without the help of your seminars and study CDs.  Thanks for all your help.

R. Richard
Lafayette, LA


"Your webinar is right on target.  This is the best value for training I have found.  I can get all of my inspectors training without leaving the office.  They can train for 1 to 2 hours and then go out in the field.  It doesn't disrupt our office and I can get my inspectors the training they need for a price I can afford.  Keep those webinars coming."

L. Vasquez
McAllen, TX


Thanks Frank. Yes your seminar was a "GREAT" help. Especially the Legal and Management side. Most of us are well versed with the Technical side but this was the first Legal and Management side I ever saw offered up here.I must add your Seminar was one of the most educational and enjoyable ones I have attended. Glad I took it right after your class as there were questions that I said we talked about that.
