It was an excellent and very informative class. It was enjoyable.
Definitely enjoyed the fire alarm classes especially concerning carbon monoxide detectors i find fire alarm safety most interesting personally
Very informative. Al the updates regarding codes and other info was very helpful
Detailed with a lot of useful information
Was to the point and very informative
This is my second time renewing my license requirements with Strandberg. Couldn't be happier with the additional acquired knowledge I receive on each lesson!
Good Information, Good Refresher. In the disability section, Bob References that Michael Jordan has HIV, I believe he is talking about Magic Johnson
It is a great class. I like the instructor, all classes are presented in professional way.
These classes were highly professional and packed with valuable information. I highly recommend anyone in need of CEU credits to reach out to Stranberg Consulting.
A lot of Technical application Info
clear to understand
It was excellent. And clearly very knowledgeable about all the topics
this course is filled with a lot of good information, however there are some lessons that do repeat information that has been talked about previously
Bob has always been very informative and really thorough in his training classes; would highly recommend.
I have taken Bob's in person classes ,prefer them to his online classes. Gain more knowledge when able to interact.
You are very clear and through in your classes/videos.
Very interesting courses a lot of info that is really helpful in my business and some new laws that I need to no
I thought the class was spot on. I have attended many of courses and learned a number of different facts that my previous courses have missed. Your examples and obvious experience made many issues clear and understandable.
Being in the alarm business for over 46 years I would still recommend these classes
Good class
Informative..
Excellent. Very helpful and interesting.
This is a great set up that i can do at my pace and in my free time
Important knowledge for fire alarm systems
The Class is great
it is a good course. I wish there was more emphasis throughout the course on getting the books and where each topic is found in the books. Not just at the end.
These classes were very educational and I can take them whenever I had time!!
Very informative, well laid out
Very informative
Always learning something new
I have used other platforms and would have liked better interaction however it was great for the price.

Class was very informative and also a great brush up on prior knowledge

Loved it very informative.
This self-paced course is very informative, and the explanations are detailed and easy to follow. I would recommend this course over any other for the NJ license exam preparations.
This is a very informative and valuable course. I believe if animation is added the material will be more memorable and it will help to emphasize the major points.
very informative and easy to understand.
super informative.
Very informative
Well done course. Very useful and applicable information. Bob's stories and examples did a great job of bolstering the content.
This course was very informative
Being on demand is very convenient.
Very informative.
Overall I am verry happy with the course. Each subject was explained clearly and in much detail. Only option that I wish I had was to ask questions as I go, like the live students did - might make sense to add such option in the system. Also, the package may need to be reviewed for repetitive content - seemed like some classes had similar or same slides for certain subjects. Other than that, I am very satisfied, the knowledge I gained was definitely worth the time and money.
Bob's classes are always very educational and provide valuable information. I recommend his classes to anyone that needs the CE credits
Classes were well put together and very informative. Bob does a great job of conducting these classes.
Excellent content. Very informative and on demand access made it very convenient.
Great class
Great info.
Thank you
Very good material
Good Information
It's good to get a refresher of the Rules and Guidelines, not to mention all the little changes and requirements that are now are responsibility
The class overall was in depth and provided a significant amount of information both for legacy and new systems. The content associated with changes was key especially the information for new codes i.e temperature of areas where security video wiring is run and the new codes associated with jacketing for installation in these areas
This was an excellent well prepared group of classes that target our industry very well. Extremely helpful to be able to take classes ondemand/online, especially being from NY, driving to the in person classes is very time consuming.
Good review of the electrical basics
Great details from Bob as always!
Bob does a great job at leaving no stone unturned. This is why we always go to him to make us a better company. Thank You Bob
Bob does a wonderful job. There is no question that he is truly an experienced expert.
It was very detailed
Good review of the material as always. Maybe some quizes would be good to keep us on our toes.
This class was great, as besides reviewing content I have been thru a hundred times, it is updated with new changes in code and thought on various parts of the installation and code process, very very good
The class is well done and methodical. Bob gives real world examples and explains everything in detail. There was some overlap between the Barrier Free Code and the ADA; however the distinctions were also specific. The detail on smoke detection and the changes that have evolved through the years - especially over the last few years was covered very well.
I like that I could take the class at my leisure! All my questions were answered.
Convenient and informative
Very informative.
I’ve always liked attending Bob’s classes. He is a great instructor.
Bob is very thorough and clear in all the classes. I would recommend to all.
Excellent
For me this works out Great, because I'm traveling a lot for my job so being able to do online is paramount.
Always very informative and interactive
great class
Like always Bob's classes are fantastic
As always very good coverage all topics
Well organized, excellent CEU Program.
Very informative
This class is fine but it would be nice for NJ to require some different courses not always the same required.
Very well laid out
As always, informative with clear delivery of contents
The program needed some modifications to become user friendly - and to become comparable as a required training platform to many other programs for the alarm industry that have been around for some time.
As always the information is beneficial. I recall some a lot of the information from from past classes but it a good refresh.
