                  about Intensive CCS Examination Preparation

• "I took the Barry Libman Inc. Intensive CCS Exam Prep class and I am happy to report that I passed the CCS exam!  I know I would not have passed, or even registered to take the exam, had I prepared exclusively on my own.  I really liked the virtual classes.  I enjoyed the way it was done because you still have the instructor explaining and being able to ask question.  Many people I work with have tried to diminish my credential because I took a class to prepare for the exam.  I find, due to taking the course, (even with my lack of 'coding chops', as one person put it), I have more in-depth knowledge of some subjects than many of the seasoned coders I work with."

• "I really liked the virtual classes. I enjoyed the way it was done because you still have the instructor explaining and being able to ask question."

• "I took the CCS prep class and really enjoyed the whole experience. It was quite a lot of work but Marybeth guided us all in the class very well and was always available for help and advice when we were stuck on any coding scenarios that came up. I felt very prepared for my exam when I went to take it."

• "The class requires a lot of commitment (!) and personal study time that you need to put aside and be willing to do in order to be successful on the class as well as on the exam."

• "I have encouraged every coder I know, who has the slightest inclination to sit for the CCS exam, to take the Barry Libman Inc. course.  Unfortunately, some are deterred by the distance to the classroom setting -- the addition of online classes is wonderful.  Others are deterred by the amount of homework that is required (I am completely honest when I tell them I spent 4 -5 hours most nights on coding exercises, coding cases, coding clinics, etc.), to them I say, well, I guess you just aren't ready."

• "I feel that CCS Exam Prep was well worth the cost. I highly recommend this course for coders that feel ready to attempt their CCS certification."

• "I would like to express my personal thanks for your time and effort helping her pass her CCS exam. It was certainly above and beyond expectations, and reflects well on your professionalism and work ethic. Well done!"

• "Homework, Homework, Homework -- there is a lot of it and it needs to be done to pass the test. Mary Beth also had me reading the guidelines till I was dreaming about them! …This was the best educational experience for my professional development without question.  It was a lot of work but well worth it, and would recommend the program to anyone."

• "The course is very demanding especially when working full time. At times I found it hard to keep up with some of the others in the class. And I found the range of material terribly broad -- but such is the nature of the exam. Mary Beth is an excellent instructor and gave us full warning of the difficulty of the exam. And she obviously prepared us very well since our group all managed to pass."

• "I thought that the course was great and I would have never have passed the test without the prep class."
