JUST SIGN UP FOR THE SCHOOL- YOU WONT REGRET IT!
I must say, im very happy with CRES. I had to take the course 2 times but if I listened to my instructor and studied more , I wouldn't have failed the exam. This time around I have used all the tools that they provide and they do provide a ton. Now that im looking back, im not sure how I even failed n worst , I don't knownwhy I didn't retake the exam all over again faster..anyways here are my thoughts about the school: 1.the online classes are amazing! My instructor was sam zakarian...he kept it all interesting in the video reviews. Although they weren't live classes for the reviews, the classes were live at some point. I believe during Covid. He was very thorough and SO FRIGGIN FUNNY. He made it so you stayed engaged and excited you about getting out there in the industry. Even my wife would watch the videos with me and she says she wants to meet him lol. 2. Everytime n I mean EVERYTIME I needed something or had a question or didn't understand something in the material or how to navigate the online course, they were there to answer my questions literally straight away! Whoever Scott is, he is amazing! I didn't understand coursework and many other issues I had with my schedule and he was literally a message away! With their undivided attention, I felt like I was their only student. Even when I had an issue getting through to AMP,(if you don't know, you'll eventually know who/ what AMP IS) He literally handled what I couldn't get done in 12hrs by myself in 10minutes! 3. The webinars are a four part LIVE class you have to do for the online portion. I like that they had those reviews available however the instructor who did mines was soooooo boring that I could barely focus. He is very soft spoken and nice but he basically read the book n doing that for almost 4 hrs 4 times can be daunting! He speaks to you like he's teaching a kindergarten class.( for all my parents out there, you know what I mean) ...however, he got the job done. It was just difficult to me bc coming from Sam Zakarian who did the prerecorded video reviews was total opposite. Again, the webinars were great n it did what it was supposed to do which is REVIEW the coursework but just a little boring. Overall, I actually enjoyed CRES. They for sure make sure you're set up for success. If you follow what they tell you to do, you will pass the exam! Its a great school bc they are there to answer whatever questions you have and having that undivided attention is necessary bc this is a ton of information and it can be intimidating. I also want to mention that even though I had to retake the course bc of my own dumb issues- they discounted the already affordable class for me ...and they let me pay it in 2 different parts. One for course work..second payment for when I wanted to start the webinars..in times like COVID, that made a world of difference for me bc I work in the restaurant industry and we all know hown thats going!
