What Past Participants Say

Below are testimonials from previous attendees who joined our SEP Certification Study Groups and benefited from collaborative exam preparation.

The study group has been wonderful. Keep up the good work.​

February 2025 Cohort Participant

Appreciate the thoughtfulness behind the sessions and the progression of the study.

September 2025 Cohort Participant

No suggestions. I think the timeslot, duration and format all work pretty well. Instructor (Arman) was very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks

February 2025 Cohort Participant

Introduce more resources offline (aside from Handbook and Quizzes) that can be used to reinforce concepts

September 2025 Cohort Participant

Thank you, Arman, for leading the cohort. I feel confident we can all pass the exam now. The study sessions were a great motivator for reading through and actually absorbing the Handbook. And thank you to everyone for participating! Speaking for myself, it was sometimes hard to find the time to get through the section for the week and write notes, but I'm glad I did, and I appreciate everyone's different perspectives and contributions. The overall graphics that were posted in the files section are particularly helpful for reference. Good luck everyone, and hopefully we will all be certified in a short while!

February 2025 Cohort Participant

I think it would be better to have a quiz in the final session that covers all previous sessions.
