QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHAT KIND OF USERS THE TRAINING
PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR
|
| |
|
|
|
What kind of users is the program designed
for ? |
|
The program
is designed as an engineering re-education program and it assumes the following:
1. that some users have been out of school for a long time.
2. that some users did not work with most engineering knowledge after
graduation.
3. that some users may not have taken courses in all exam-subjects in
school.
4. that some users may not have a formal engineering background, but are
eligible to take the exams.
5. that some users have forgotten everything;
The half-life of engineering knowledge is 2 years, which means that some
users have forgotten 50% of their knowledge every 2 years since
graduation.
6. that some users may not have learned the material well in school.
7. that some users are too stressed, distracted and overwhelmed with work,
project deadlines, family and life responsibilities to study by
themselves.
8. Attorneys planning to take
the Patent Bar Exam to practice in the field of patent law:
The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE Exam) is a prerequisite for patent
bar exam applicants under "Category C" "Category
C" states that if you do not have a BS in any Engineering subject
(Category A) or a BS in another scientific subject (Category B) you must
first pass the FE exam to show that you possess the required technical and
scientific training. The FE exam is developed and administered by the State
Board of Engineering Examiners in each state.

|
|
I have been out of school for
a long time, can the program help me ? |
|
The program is designed for users
who have graduated many years ago, have forgotten most material or are not
proficient with the material.
All subject matter is taught from the ground up. The program assumes that
the user has forgotten most material, therefore his background is rebuilt
from the ground up, starting with the fundamentals. |
|
|
|
I am eligible to take the
exam, but I don't have an engineering degree ? |
|
Our program is designed as a
re-education program. We duplicate the entire engineering degree program,
in a problem-solving setting. Many of our users have never taken any
engineering courses, they only have a mathematics background and they are
able to follow the program and pass the exam.
Without our program, non-degreed users only have two choices:
choice 1: take all engineering courses for credit, this may take ten
years, going part-time
choice 2: buy the textbooks and do self-study: this is very difficult if
you have never been exposed to the material. |
|
|
|
I did not have to take all
the exam course-subjects in school, will the program teach those subjects
? |
|
The program assumes that users
have not taken all subjects in school. The subject is taught from the
ground up. We spend around 50 to 100 hours per subject. |
|
|
|
I have been out of school for
a long time and I do not feel confident, how can your program help me ? |
|
You will build confidence when
you work in our program. We start you at a very basic level: algebra,
trig, geometry with very simple concepts such as finding distance between
two points. By starting with simple problems you will feel better about
your abilities. The program is a building up process, with every problem
that you solve correctly you will give yourself confidence. As you
progress to the harder problems, your confidence will grow accordingly. |
| |
|
|
I am an electrical engineer,
I did not take dynamics, solid mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid
mechanics in school, can your program help me |
|
The program is implemented by
engineering-degreed and non-engineering-degreed users. Non-engineering
degrees users have had no exposure to engineering courses whatsoever and
they are able to follow the program. All the course-subjects are taught
from basic principles. |
| |
|
|
I am a civil engineer and I
did not do very well in electric circuits, how can your program help me ? |
|
The program assumes that you have never
seen any circuit theory and presents the subject matter from basics.
Circuits are solved by only one method, the mesh method which makes for a
consistent, systematic approach. |
| |
|
|
I am thinking of doing
self-study instead of your program, what can you say about this ? |
|
Most users who self-study do not
pass. We get many users who register for our program after they tried to
self-study.
There are many problems with self-study. Either the user does not study in
enough detail, or he overstudies and gets bogged down.
It is also difficult to pace yourself. When you study in our training
program, we monitor your progress. The feeling that there is someone
concerned with your progress helps your motivation. |
| |
|
|
There is a refresher course
offered by my local university, do you have any advice ? |
|
Refresher courses at
universities are token efforts and are not designed to prepare you well.
They run for 20 hours and use lectures. There is very little, if any
problem-solving. We get many users who register for our training programs,
after they tried university refreshers. |
| |
|
|
I am thinking of taking a
video-tape or cd-rom course, is that a good idea ? |
|
Users report to us that they
wasted time and money on media products. The common complaint is the lack
of detail. |
| |
|
|
I have taken the exam many
times and did not pass, how can your program help me ? |
|
Our program does not only train
you in working problems, it is also a very effective study-system and it
manages your time.
Every hour in our program is equivalent to 5 hours of self-study. The
program organizes all your work for you. You dont have to worry about what
to study, how to study, how much to study, how to sequence the topics and
problems, everything is organized and programmed. |

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
|
| |
| |
|
|
How is the training program
structured ? |
|
There are 3 parts in the program:
Part 1 is the teaching part
where the course-modules are taught in detail
and
where all the course-modules are taught and problems are worked and
discussed.
A course module consists of subjects, each subject is broken down into
topics and subtopics.
The problems in a subject are arranged in a problem-sequence.
Each topic is first explained as a step-by-step procedure followed by
problems worked by users and instructor.
Every problem is discussed in detail.
The formulas used to solve the problem are highlighted in the formula
book.
In part 1, users consult the notes when working problems.
Each course module ends with a summary of the module material, followed by
a module final which is graded.
Users record their individual scores and the instructor records the
average class score for that module and the overall class-score for part
1.
Part 2 is the consolidation part
Part 2 serves to consolidate, refresh and
reinforce the material from part 1 to get the user ready for the practice
exams in part 3.
All the material from part 1 is reviewed and consolidated to maximize the
user's performance in the practice exams.
Since part 1 takes up 4 months it is important to refresh the material
which was covered over the entire 4-month period.
First the material of a course module is summarized followed by each user
taking the same module final of part 1.
When working the module final, users should first consult the formula-book
and if more reference is needed, they can consult the class-notes.
While users are working the module final, the solutions are simultaneously
presented on the computer screen by the instructor.
At the end of the module final, each problem is discussed in detail.
Each module final is graded. the user recorded his individual score and
the instructor records the class-score for the module and the overall
class-score for part 2.
Part 3 is the practice exam part
In part 3, users work 3 to 6 practice exams, AM and PM sections.
Users first work the AM section, while the solutions are simultaneously
presented on the computer.
Each problem is discussed in detail.
Users are only allowed to reference the formula book, practicing both
working the problems and gaining skill in looking up and applying formulas
from the formula book.
At the end of each exam, problems are discussed and the material is
further summarized and reviewed.
The AM section is followed by the PM section exam.
Users try to achieve a raw score of 70%.
The practice exams give users feedback on any weaknesses and gaps which
users can rectify before the next practice exam.
Each exam is graded. the user recorded his individual score and the
instructor records the class-score for the exam and the overall
class-score for part 3.
|
|
|
|
Why do you call it a training
program instead of a course ? |
|
The training program is an
engineering re-education program, it duplicates the
entire engineering degree program, in a problem-solving format. It is very
detailed and comprehensive in scope.
The program is an online engineering training system, it is continuously
evolving, edited, more material is put in, it is in a constant state of
improvement to optimize the user's readiness.
The program does not only teach the material, it is also a very effective
study-system and it manages your time.
Every hour in our program is equivalent to 5 hours of self-study. The
program organizes all your work for you. You dont have to worry about what
to study, how to study, how much to study, how to sequence the topics and
problems, everything is organized and programmed. |
|
|
|
What kind of teaching method
is used in the program ? |
|
There are no lectures, theory or
reading of text involved. The program is not lecture-based. Instead we use
problem-solving teaching methods.
On the exam you will not be tested on theory, you will be tested only on
problems, that is what our program is designed for.

more
1. We demonstrate a problem as a step-by-step procedure
2. the user is then given a problem to work by himself, based on the
procedure
3. the problem is followed by a detailed problem-discussion
and the cycle repeats. |
|
|
|
Why do you use a
problem-solving training method to prepare users for the exam ? |
|
On the exam you will be tested
on solving problems, not on theory or text.
The EIT exam will give you 180 problems, about 2.67 minutes per problem.
After reading the problem-statement for about 30 seconds, you only have 2
minutes per problem.
The problems are at the same difficulty-level as in-class exams which you
took in school, where you used to have 20 minutes per problem ( 3 problems
in a school exam ).
So, when you were in school and very sharp and in " academic
study-mode", you had 60 minutes to solve 3 exam problems.
Now, that you are out of school, you dont do only technical work, and you
are not in study-mode anymore, you have to solve 180 problems, 2 minutes
to solve a problem.
This does not give you any time to sit there and try to invent or create a
solution, you should already know the solution the instant when you read
the problem-statement. You should be able to recognize instantly what the
solution is, and only focus on not making any mistakes.
With our massive problem-solving training, you will have worked most of
the problems which you will see on the exam, it comes down to a matter of
recalling a solution, not inventing or creating a solution. |
|
|
|
How many problems will I work
in the program ? |
|
5000 to 10,000 problems
With this amount of training, you will have worked most, if not all
problems which you will see on the exam.
What this will do for you is that when you see a problem on the exam, you
will not have to sit there and try to invent or create a solution. Instead
you will recognize the problem instantly, as one which you have worked
before, you will work the problem on a recall basis, recalling the
solution from your long-term memory. All that you need to do is try not to
make a stupid mistake in carrying out the solution.
5000 to 10,000 problems is 4 times as many problems as you worked for
homework in school. |
|
|
|
Where do you take the
problems from which are used in the training program ? |
|
The subject material is taught using
ENSYS practice problems which are similar to actual exam problems.
After working a block of topics the user takes a mini-exam, these problems
come from the PPI study-guides which serve as a standard.
The user will find the mini-exam problems easier than the ENSYS practice
problems.
The PPI study-guides are not used for reading or studying, they are only
used for their problems.
After working several blocks of topics, each one followed by a mini-exam,
at the end of the course-module the user takes a module final exam, where
the problems again come from the PPI study-guides. |
|
|
|
Can I start the program at
anytime ? |
|
The asynchronous format is
derived from live sessions which are recorded, edited and developed with
live whiteboard and audio-files.
You have all the advantages of a live class but you can access the class
at anytime at your own schedule and pace. Instead of you conforming to a
live class, with our async format, you can let the class conform to you.
Everyone's work and personal schedule is different. By giving the user
24/7 access to the class from any computer anywhere, the user has maximum
flexibility.
In the async format, the user has access to all the sessions so he can
always go back to the beginning of the sessions to review and refresh any
material. |
|
|
|
What does the online
classroom look like ? |
|
The online classroom contains
blocks of material, each block is called a session and runs for about 10
hours.
Click here to see a sample
classroom |
|
|
|
What does a session look like
? |
|
A session contains three
file-types: red, yellow and green
The red files are whiteboards which contain data
The yellow files are problem-sequences, they outline the topics to be
covered in a session
The green files are audio-files |
|
|
|
I read about assembling a
course kit when starting the program, what is the course kit ? |
|
In the online classroom you will find
steps and links to assemble your course-kit.
The course-kit contains PPI study-guides, formula-books, calculator,
3-inch ring binders, paper and supplies.
The course-kit is designed to organize your work.
You will be trained in organizing and filing all your work in the binders,
along with prints of the original problems and solutions.
After working a block of topics, you have to take an exam. If you score
< 55% you need to review the weak topics and retake the exam until you
can score > 55%. The manuals will make it easy to reference your work. |

QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO WORK AND STUDY IN THE TRAINING PROGRAM
|
| |
| |
|
|
How is the material taught ? |
|
1. We demonstrate a problem as a
step-by-step procedure
2. the user is then given a problem to work by himself, based on the
procedure
3. the problem is followed by a detailed problem-discussion
and the cycle repeats. |
| |
|
|
Will I have to organize all
of my studying in the program ? |
|
The program does not only offer
training in the subjects.
It is also a self-contained study-system in which everything is organized
for you. All the steps are outlined, the topics to study, the problems are
sequenced in difficulty-level. |
| |
|
|
Will I have to read any text
or study out of textbooks and study guides ? |
|
There is no reading of text
involved, no studying of theory, no lectures. All the material is taught
by working problems. |
| |
|
|
How much study-time do I have
to put in ? |
|
The guideline is to study 20
hours per week, 2 hours on weekdays and 4 hours on sat and 4 hours on sun.
There is a weekly planner in the online classroom. The users plans the
upcoming week by filling out his study-time in the weekly planner for each
day in the upcoming week. |
|
|
|
Can I decide how frequently
to work in the program ? |
|
Working on a consistent basis
will lead to success. We recommend that the user studies everyday. It is
better to do a little everyday, rather than doing a lot on a sporadic
basis. The program is a skill-building process, growth in proficiency will
come with repetition.
Our guideline is to put in 20 hours per week, 2 hrs on weekdays, 4 hrs on
sat, 4 hrs on sun. |
| |
|
|
Are my sessions timed, how
much access do I have to the program ? |
|
You have 24/7 access to the
program, from any computer anywhere. You also have access to all the
sessions, so that you can always start at the beginning of the program, or
any point in the program. |
| |
|
|
How long will it take me to
complete the program ? |
|
Most users require 6 to 12 months
to complete the program. |
|
|
|
Can I print out the whiteboard
material ? |
|
Your user license allows you to
save the files on your hard-drive and to print out all the material. |
|
|
|
How do I ask questions ? |
|
The program is very well
designed, based on 15 years of instruction. Each problem teaches a new
aspect of the material, and most questions which are generated by the user
are pre-empted by the problems. There is a lot of repetition and
reinforcement. Even in live classes, users ask very few questions, they
are very busy learning the material by working the problems.
There is a lot of academic support available via email, toll-free phone
support and whiteboard/audio support.
There are three levels of academic support: essentials, standard and plus.
In the essentials version of the program, the user receives ten academic
incidents at no extra charge.
An academic incident is not a single question, but an issue with follow-up
questiions.
Users who require more academic support can purchase the higher versions:
standard and plus.
In the standard version, the user receives support for 30 academic
incidents, in the plus version there are 60 academic incidents.
We recommend that the user start with the essentials version to keep the
cost low. When the user runs goes over ten incidents, he can upgrade to
higher versions. |
|
|
|
Can I get the program on CD ? |
|
The program is continuously
updated and improved, so we dont offer the program on CD. |
|
|
|
Do I have to purchase any
books or study-guides ? |
|
The user has to build a
course-kit which includes PPI study-guides and formula books. The
study-guides are only used for problems, not for reading or studying. |
|
|
|
How can I tell how well I am
doing in the program ? |
|
You are tested with four kinds
of exams:
1. Mini-exams
2. Session exams
3. Module final exams
4. AM and PM practice exams
You are tested continuously in the program which will give you feedback
about how well you are doing in the program.
After working a block of material you will take a mini-exam. On the
mini-exam you should score at least 55%. If you score less than 55%, you
should go back, rework the weak topics and retake the mini-exam until you
can score > 55%.
At the end of a course module which contains several blocks of material,
you will take a module final exam. The same applies. |
| |
|
|
When I am working in the
program, how can I tell if I will pass the exam ? |
|
You give yourself feedback and
confidence in the program.
After working a block of material you will take a mini-exam. On the
mini-exam you should score at least 55%. If you score less than 55%, you
should go back, rework the weak topics and retake the mini-exam until you
can score > 55%.
At the end of a course module which contains several blocks of material,
you will take a module final exam. The same applies.
If you are consistently scoring > 55% then you will pass.
If you score < 55%, then you should rework the weak topics and retake
the mini-exams and final exams until you get your score > 55% |
|
|
|
What should be my general
study-strategy ? |
|
The 20 hours per
week of studying is a guideline, if you dont have that much time
available, then put in what you can but try to study everyday, even it is
for only 1 hr. The
nr of problems per week depends on the amount of time you put in per week.
In 1 hr you should able to do around 10 problems.
The program is designed to manage
retention. After
you have worked topic X, and when you move on to topic Y, you may forgot
topic X, but it will come up again in the upcoming min-exams and final
exams. So just work sequentially through the program, there is build-in
review.
Dont worry about forgetting, when you are
studying a topic, try to focus hard on the topics, learn every aspect of
it as explained in the class. Once you have understood the topic well,
later when you encounter it again in the program, it will come back.
Everyone is struggling with the topics.
Remember, most users who are in the program have graduated many years ago,
and they are all rusty.
The program is designed for such users, and with the constant repetition
and reinforcement, it works out ok.
So, take confidence, every time that you solve a problem correctly. It is
a building-up process, each step leads to the next. |

QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY USED TO DELIVER THE PROGRAMS
|
| |
| |
|
|
How do I access the program ? |
|
The program is delivered via an
online campus, called the ENSYS SuperSite where all the online
classrooms can be found.
Go to www.ensys.net, click on the red
button " Go To Class " which will take you to the SuperSite,
then locate your training program.
Each training program is distributed over 15 classrooms. The user starts
with classroom 01 and is upgraded to subsequent classroom. Each classroom
contains course modules. |
|
|
|
Can I do the program from my
computer at home and at work ? |
|
The program is available from any
computer anywhere. If you can get online, then you will have access to the
program. |
|
|
|
Can I access the program from
any computer ? |
|
If your computer can go online,
then you can access the program. |
|
|
|
Will I have to upgrade my
computer to do the program ? |
|
The computer requirements are
minimal. Any computer with which you can get online and which has sound
capabilities will work. |
|
|
|
Do I need broadband to access
the program or can I use dial-up ? |
|
No broadband is required. A
simple dial-up connection will work. The files are designed in streaming
format, which means that they start playing immediately when you click on
a link, as the file is playing, it continues to download.
You only download a few files during a study-session. The whiteboard file
can have up to 100 pages, and each audio-file runs for 20 minutes, so you
will be studying most of the time during your session, you will not be
constantly downloading files. |
|
|
|
Do I have to be connected
online all the time when doing the program ? |
|
You can save the files to your
hard-drive, then go offline and work your session. |
|
|
|
Do I need to install any
special software to do the program ? |
|
Our program is designed to
interface with your operating system and browser, using software which you
already have in your computer.
There are no special software or plugins required.
Simply go online, access your classroom and click on links.
If you can go online, you can access the program. |
|
|
|
I am not very good with
internet technology, is the online training program complicated to work
with ? |
|
The technology is very easy and
simple. If you can click on a link, you can operate the program.
We have designed the technology so that you will focus on learning and
training instead of messing with technology.
To run a session you do the following:
1. login to your online classroom
2. click on a red button to open a whiteboard file
3. click on a green button to open an audiofile |
|
|
|
I work in the field, outside
the office, and I have a laptop which I can use, but I cant go online with
it, how can I do the program ? |
|
The night before you are
planning to work your session from your laptop in the field, you can
download a few hours worth of files, save them to your hard-drive. When
you are in the field with your laptop, just play the session files from
your hard drive. |
|
|
| |
|
QUESTIONS
ABOUT FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
|
| |
| |
|
|
How cost-effective is the
program, how does it compare to the industry ? |
|
All other providers offer 20 to
30 hour refreshers at $ 20 to $ 50 per instruction-hour, using the lecture
format. Just do a search for other providers and verify their billing
rates. All other providers also require full prepayment is required upfront with no refund.
We offer the only hands-on problem-solving training programs which run
from 1000 to 2000 hours. Our rates are from $ 1 to $ 1.50 per instruction
hour.
We also dont require prepayment, users make installments and can stop at
anytime which ends all billing. Only $ 100 is required to start. |
|
|
|
Will I get billed by the hour
when I login ? |
|
We mention our hourly
instruction rate of $ 1.80 to $ 2.40 for comparison purposes to other
providers who charge $ 20 to $ 50 per instruction hour.
In our program, you are billed a fixed amount per installment. You can
login for as much time as you need, you are not billed on a hourly basis
for the time that you are logged in. |
|
|
|
Do I have to prepay the entire
fee before I can start ? |
|
No. All other providers require
full prepayment upfront with no refund after the class has started.
In our program users start with a first installment payment of $ 100. This
will let you start in classroom 01, you will work in the system, and if
you are happy with the training, if you like the instruction and if you
feel that our program will prepare you for the exam then you can stay and
pay as you go, making installment payments every month. In the beginning
you will not be 100% confident in our program, so we remove the risk by
not requiring full prepayment upfront.
Only after you have started our program will you develop confidence and
trust in our system. |
|
|
|
How does the installment plan
work, how will I get billed ? |
|
Any discounts which you qualify
for are deducted from the list price. You start the program with the first
installment of $ 100. The balance of the training program fee is divided
into 13 installment payments, payable approximately once per month. You
will receive an invoice with the payment schedule. With every payment due
date, you will receive a statement with the payment due. |
| |
|
|
If I am not finished with the
program by the exam date and I want to take the next exam, will I have to
pay for the entire program again ? |
|
You can extend your training in 6
month intervals. You dont need to pay the entire program fee again when
rolling over into a 6-month extension.
The extension fee for the EIT program is only 50 cents per instruction
hour, at $ 495 payable in installments of $ 82.50 per month.
For such a nominal fee, users prefer to keep working in our training
environment, rather then going it alone. |
|
|
|
If I withdraw, will I get
credit for any payments made when I re-register at a later date ? |
|
You can withdraw at anytime
which ends all the billing. When you re-register at a later date there is
no credit for any payments made, the billing will start from the
beginning. |
|
|
|
What kind of payment methods
do you accept ? |
|
We accept credit cards online,
company checks, cashiers checks and personal checks, wire transfers and
bank drafts. |
| |
|
|
My company will pay for my
training, how does it work ? |
|
In a company-funded situation,
you dont have to make the first installment payment of $ 100. All that you
have to do is to fill out the online registration form, the server will
then install you in the online classroom. We will draft an invoice, email
it to you and you can forward it to your human resources department. It
usually takes a few weeks before we receive the payment. Instead of
waiting for the payment to ket you start, we let you start immediately
after you have filled out the online registration form, this saves you
weeks of valuable study-time.
We have references. letters of approval online in case your company needs
any references. |
| |
|
|
Do you use automatic
withdrawal with credit cards ? |
|
No. We dont like automatic
withdrawals. We prefer to let the user make the decision to make a
payment. As long as you are happy with the training and instruction, and
as long as you see yourself progressing you can stay in the program. If
for any reason you decide to stop, that will end all the billing.
This way, the user is in control. |
| |
|
|
Can I give you my credit card
number over the phone and let you charge the payment ? |
|
We do not take any credit card
information over the phone, or by any other means. We use PayPal ( owned
by eBay ) as our credit-card processor. It will not let us input your
credit card information, the user must input his data himself.
We have no access to any user's credit card information. |

QUESTIONS
ABOUT REGISTERING FOR THE PROGRAM
|
| |
|
|
|
It must be a
major project to include everything, there must be thousands of exam
candidates with the need to use these programs. |
|
The training programs have
been an ongoing, continuous effort for almost twenty years now, and the
response and feedback of users ( students, techs, engineers, companies )
has been tremendous.
The training programs are massive. They are developed from a central
database of over 2 million handwritten solutions.
These hardcopy files are edited, converted to whiteboard format, after
which the audiofiles are recorded and produced in a recording-studio.
Then all the components of the online training system are assembled and
integrated.
The EIT/PE training programs together contain a total of around 1 million
elements: whiteboard pages, whiteboard files, audio files, links, webpages
etc.
We mainly get users who have been out of school for
a long time, sometimes over thirty years ago, and many are desperate to
become licensed, their careers, promotibility, job-security, and
essentially, their survival are at stake.
For example, we get many users from the DOT's who need to pass
immediately. Many DOT's have come out with new rulings, that, by 2010,
anyone working in any kind of engineering capacity for a DOT must be a PE,
or they will face demotions, lose seniority, and even their jobs.
What users need is a massive rebuilding of their skill-base. The training
products offered by other providers are inadequate, offering around 20
hours of lectures.
Our approach is different: by training users in problem-solving, with
around 10,000 problems, they gain confidence and achieve success.
The problem with training has always been cost.
Industry billing rates range from $ 20 to $ 50 per hour.
This is a consequence of economic factors, payroll, overhead etc. Everyone
is locked in their overhead structure.
If other providers were to offer 1000-hr programs, the total price would
range from $ 20,000 to $ 50,000
We have received proposals and multi-million dollar buyout offers from
Fortune 500 companies, receiving calls from their executives.
Needless to say, there is nothing to discuss regarding buyouts or mergers.
Those companies, as are most training providers are run by business,
accounting and finance majors who have no understanding of what engineers
have to endure in school and on the job.
ENSYS training programs are unique in their cost: we offer training
programs for around $ 1 per hour ( that includes all formats, even the
live classes ).
At this rate, we are 95% to 98% below the market and at around half the
cost of a single graduate engineering course.
In addition, we do not require full prepayment, users make simple
installments ( interest-free ).
We offer the only programs which include build-in
academic support at no additional charge.
Users get help via email, toll-free phone-support, whiteboard/audio
support, and also live multipoint support.
Further, the programs come with a tuition recovery aspect, users who make
referrals receive 10% commissions, so they recover most if not all their
fees, even long after having passed the exams.
The programs have been running for a long time in
various formats, only recently did we launch the asynchronous Mediaplayer
formats.
The response has been very good with steady growth.
We anticipate that we should have the largest market share in a few years.
We are striving to set a standard for licensure-exam preparation which is
unparallelled in affordability, convenience and high pass rates.
Really, we are just very grateful that the
engineering community is giving us the opportunity to this work, to
prepare users for licensure and to contribute to their careeers and
livelihoods.
It is very hard work, but it is very satisfying when a user reports that
they have passed the exam, and that all kinds of opportunities have opened
up to them, that makes it all worth it. |

|
I am ready to start with the
program, how do I register ? |
|
You can register online at: http://www.ensys.net/to1.htm
This link can also be found at the top of every webpage of www.ensys.net
, look for a link which says " To Register "
To activate your registration, the first payment for $ 100 is required,
payment is made via the online registration form.
After you have registered, you will receive an email registration
confirmation with instructions on how to get to your online classroom. |
| |
|
|
Can I have a group of users do
the program ? |
|
No, the license is strictly a
1-user license. |
|
|
|
Can I withdraw at anytime ? |
|
You can withdraw at anytime,
no questions asked, that will end all the billing. There is no contractual
obligation for the entire course fee.
As long as you are happy with your training and you can see yourself
progressing you can stay in the program. |
|
|
|
Why are the ENSYS pass rates
so high ? |
|
Our pass-rates are over 90%.
Basically everyone who works consistenly should be able to pass.
Our pass rates are so high because we train users to work 5000 to 10,000
problems. With this training you work most problems which you will
encounter on the exam. The program is designed to make you retain the
information in long-term memory. When you see the problems on the exam,
you will recall the solutions and do well. |
| |
|
|
Are there other training
providers who offer problem-solving programs ? |
|
Other providers only offer lecture-based
courses.
ENSYS is the only provider which offers training programs in a hands-on
problem-solving format. We invented and developed problem-solving teaching
methods ( RIMS and SIMS ) which has been tested for 15 years. In addition
to the EIT/PE training programs we also run other training programs such
as continuing education, licensure renewal, academic problem-solving
courses, mid-term exam prep and final-exam prep courses, all use the RIMS
and SIMS methods. |
| |
|
|
Do you have references from
organizations for which you have done training ? |
|
ENSYS does training for corporations,
governmental agencies at the local, state and federal level, and military
services. |
| |
|
|
Do you have testimonials from
users who have used your training program ? |
|
Users can find testimonials from ENSYS
users. Feel free to contact any reference to get more feedback about our
programs. |
| |
|
|
Do you offer a certificate of
completion ? |
|
Yes |
| |
|
|
Can I think about your
training program ? |
|
Of course. We have presented you
with a lot of information about our programs. We are the only organization
offering a problem-solving method to get you ready for the exam. Users who
implemented our programs to get ready for licensure tell us that there is
no comparison.
It is now time for you to be decisive and have the courage to take to step
to start with our program. You can start with a small initial payment and
try the program. If you are indecisive, you may find yourself, a few years
from now, having done nothing to become a licensed professional engineer.
Time is money, when you let time pass by, you are wasting opportunities
and financial rewards. |
|
|
|
Can I prepare for both the
EIT and the PE exam at the same time ? |
|
It is not a good idea, you will
become overwhelmed with information. It is better to first prepare for the
EIT exam, when you have passed that exam you can prepare for the PE exam. |
