1995 and before

During this time I worked for another company but assisted hundreds to obtain their promotion! After retirement from the police department, I started this company with the results listed above.

INTREPRETATION: These results are simply because my students worked hard to receive the score that they attained. Actual promotion involves several factors such as retirements, vacancies, budget considerations, promotional freezes, pending disciplinary actions, rule of three, and naturally politics. Some students actually take prep courses and fail exams; mostly because they did not apply themselves or study properly-don't be one of them but an individual who scores highly and receives the promotion you are seeking. I will simply help you toward achieving that goal, like the others have on this page!
