Everything was going great, especially liked at your own pace. I had some set backs when the course wouldn't remembered my last place, once I called customer support they had fixed it and didn't do it again. Finished course before deadline, but need to do ride a long.

Im a General Contractor by trade and I hold several related licenses and IGo is by far the best online course and school i've been enrolled in. The course work was not only very Intelligible but It kept me engaged through out all the course modules. I was amazed at how much of the practice exam questions where on the State exam of course worded slightly different but yet very recognizable. The staff is second to none. Waylon has been beyond engaging In helping me in not only getting set up with the right course package for me but also steering me in the right direction towards getting started as soon as I achieved my state exam pass which I have done successfully thanks to the IGo team. Kevin and his behind the scenes team whom have addressed any and all of my questions and I have a lot of them regarding the after math of passing and getting started in my new career have been instrumental to me being recently hired as a Home Inspector. I don't normally write reviews like this but this team has blown me away with their true desire to help get their students not only to pass the state exam but to also succeed in our new careers. I highly recommend IGo for all of your licensing needs. Thanks to the IGo team. I greatly appreciate you all.
