It's visual, it's informative, it's encouraging, it touches on everything but dives into what's really important: CONCEPTS. And what architect doesn't love a good 'concept', amirite? If you've been putting off the exams out of fear of failure, or maybe have gotten a little too cozy with paying the extra fee to postpone (twice.. or thrice), or you've been hesitant to spend more money on yet another study course - then get out of your dingy and hop into this lifeboat. Is it pricey? Eh.. maybe if you treat it like your unused gym membership (cancel that, btw... *$40/mo = 2 AREs annually*). This is meant to be a 3-6 month commitment depending on your level of study time. Honestly, the thought of being through all the exams in less than a year makes the investment worth it. Get in, pass, and get out.”

If you do this coursework multiple times, it is no question you will earn a license very quickly. Professor at Virginia Tech, Michael Errman, an educator and an expert in learning, has designed and automated a self-guided course that will make you a better architect. I am absolutely excited and feel so grateful this study material exists. Michael Errman, thank you for selflessly and passionately making such an impact in our profession.”

My PP Class in college was great but it's just been so long I don't remember a lot of this stuff. Being a production guy at most firms I've worked at this stuff rarely comes up enough, it's on me to learn it. ”

This material is so easy to consume in how approachable it is in the presentation, the clarity, the flow, and the human language used. I feel a strong sense of momentum without really trying that hard, just following along taking notes, doing the workbook, and studying flashcards . The material never getting too bogged down in the details of the subject to lose interest or momentum. There is strong continuity all throughout these lessons rather than the patchwork that studying for the ARE was for my two failed tests before opting for this approach. ”

It's hard to listen to boring lectures or read dense text after a full day of work and the animation is refreshing while the real world examples and analogies actually help me retain the information! Can't believe I didn't get this sooner.”
