"I attended the CSCA review and exam class in Aurora and found it fast paced and very informative. Mike Sheahan presided over the class and I found him to be very knowledgeable and interesting. I would recommend this class for anyone in the industry. When you are asked during an interview: "What are you doing to improve yourself?" - this is a great answer. I am hoping to attend more classes in the future."
