"I attended clas at Educational Concepts, and if my memory is correct, something happened that Tom became the instructor for my class, as a last minute change. Tom was a wealth of knowledge & gave us the best preparation for the state test possible. It was those little tidbits of info that only someone with experience can tell you - it's doesn't come from a book. I soaked in all of the info he could offer & followed his advice. I passed my P&C test the 1st time taking it, having only the knowledge of what he taught. "
