GOOD

My favorite online courses for continuing education

Excellent coverage of a system so diverse in electrical requirements.

Course # 269 (An Intro. to Due Diligence) was interesting and covered tips & recommendations that I would be extremely useful in preparing a report of this nature.

Always a pleasure dealing with Suncam - oops, forgot the stars

Always a good experience with Suncam

Honesty and non-sense are the main points.

As always, SunCam has been professional and user friendly for the engineering community.

I like using SunCam. They have the process well oiled and the subject material is well written with a lot of new knowledge. I highly recommend them to any PE.

Fast, simple, and easy to use.

Sun Cam has supplied a couple of my engineering courses and have been very good.

I use SunCam for my on-line courses. Great website and easy instructions to follow. Price/course is quite fair and reasonable.

An excellent material for me, a beginner to learn and understand the fundamentals, but only intensive studying and understanding the system makes it possible to find the correct answers for the test questions. This course has my perfect score

Good overview of the theory and formulas of infiltration from retention ponds. While computer programs are readily available to perform these calculations, it is imperative to know the underlying background to these programs. The narrative test problems followed the course material very well. However, the test problems that require calculations need to be re-written. Too many required assumptions for variables in order to solve the problem. Unfortunately, values for these variables were not covered in the course. Overall, I give the course material and narrative test questions a 5 rating and the computational test questions a zero. Overall rating a 3.

Suncam.com website is very user friendly. I was waiting for the email but I was advised that I can read the course, take the test and even print the certificate on the website under "my courses". Its great and helpful immensely.

I spent a lot of time taking this course as I read chapters in several of the cited books to better understand the concepts. The course is an excellent overview and gave me a bit of high level engineering knowledge of antenna performance and some good practical knowledge.

Very good online CE provider for PEs. Thank you for your service.

Suncam courses provide the required level of detail without getting lost in the weeds and minutia of every topic covered .

Offering good courses in reasonable prices.

Excellent subject introduction and setup for next parts.

Very good offering good subject.

Offering good courses.

Excellent course material and terrific course selection

Excellent course synopsis and easy to follow procedures to access/use system.

Love your courses - thorough and very well written, easy to access and very economical.

Excellent course synopsis and presentation, excellent experience with SunCam.

Very Convenient and simple to use

Excellent job. Very well done.

Provide very good quality of trainings at an excellent price.

The whole website and process is so streamlined and easy to use. The fact that SunCam researches the PDH acceptance of the various states is invaluable.

Some of the cases are vague. Also, #1 the correct result is obtained but the reason is different.

Well represented.

very good courses; excellent quality.

Informative course

I have found almost all the courses to be very well structured and informative. For the most part the exams are also useful tools that reinforce the learning. It would be a big challenge to any other PDH service to take me back from SUNCAM. Thanks to the organization for gathering all this information and making it so easily accessible.

Excellent courses.

Excellent source of PE continuing ed courses; easy to use system and support.

Excellent source for obtaining continuing education courses. All courses are "spot on", well written, well illustrated and provide an excellent understanding of the topic covered.

SunCam is a great source for completing the required PDHs at our own term, time, and schedule. I appreciate what Bill has been doing for our PE community the past few years in this regard. There are many other online resources for these required PDHs , but I personally find SunCam to be the most organized, diverse, and professional. Thank you.

Excellent introductory course to the subject. Coverage of issues is extensive and well written.

Excellent course. The questions were challenging and required a careful review of the code of ethics.

Good courses.

SunCam offers great courses at reasonable prices. This is an excellent source of CE credits.

The course has given me much needed understanding on the repair of truss, which i need in everyday working life.

Well written and informative

I have taken several SunCam courses over the years as continuing education for my PE license. My experience has always been a positive one and I will continue to use SunCam in the future. In cases where I have had questions, I received a prompt and thorough response. Thank You for your professional service!

Very user friendly way to take courses, Excellent.

Some interesting information, but in general, the class needs to be updated.

COURSE WAS WELL WRITTEN, EASY TO FOLLOW

Suncam, you're there when I need you.

As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong taking a Suncam course. The price is right, the materiel informative and the process painless.

Suncam, how great you are! Good material, nice presentation, Easy format to work through. And the price is right.

Suncam gets my kudoos. Good stuff, efficient process. The brain awakens.

I've been taking Suncam for a few years now. I Find the courses they offer to help me retain some of my engineering knowledge. Additionally the price is right; the process to get through the material is nice.

This course introduced and summarized many of the concepts and parameters I had encountered in dealing with stormwater mitigation. I felt the writer did an exceptional job of presenting the information and crafting the assessment. Thanks!

Good courses. Technical with good overviews. Useful. Excellent value.

I have not done much steel design in the past few years and this was just what i needed to freshen up on steel framing connections, especially bolted connections. I also appreciate that there were design calculations.

Fine course with the necessary patent issues one should be aware of.

Test questions not always clear in relation to text. More examples in text would be helpful.

Very good course.

Very informational and educational. I learned to be able to compare my Carrier version to Manual J. I have been doing this for 50 years.There are a lot of similarities. However, very time consuming and a lot of knowledge to try and retain for four hours of credit. I would reconsider in increasing that number of PDHS considerably.

Very interesting course. If there were mathematical examples where possible it would have been more helpful.

Very good report for those without a complete knowledge of due diligence.

The courses are great, not only do I learn more by reading the course material than I do from going to conferences, I can take courses at my own pace. Also, SunCam courses enables me to meet my continuing education requirements at a reasonable cost which is important to me since I am retired.

good course. was rather more detailed than I expected.

Very good course on highway curve safety measures.

Good courses at reasonable prices. Very efficient operation.

As with the previous 3 parts, this is an excellent review. In four sessions I've reviewed the main parts of a year and a half of Civil engineering college courses.

SunCam's method of presenting a myriad of different engineering courses, for enlarging the engineer's technical background are handled quite nicely. One can read through a course, try the test before it is submitted, and then take the test - all this can be done 24/7/365

The usual.....

great course - makes you think as you apply it to your own home

I really like the Sun Cam format for courses. I can do the course at my own pace and when I have time to read the material. Only addition I would like is a short bio of the author, which the NJ PE Board would like per their requirements. Thanks and I look forward to taking other courses on information I always wanted to learn.

I always come back to Suncam for my CE courses The CE courses are always well presented and very informative

Solid Review; great to keep basic skills sharp!

This part 1 course was an good beginning into the design and pitfalls for solar energy. It gave key elements which are useful for all engineers

I have taken several class from SunCam and have always been satisfied. The classes information has been very informative and I have used some of it on my job. I would recommend SunCam to anyone that is interested in expanding their engineering knowledge.

SunCam continuing education courses are relevant to many issues faced in today's engineering and business climate; the material is straightforward and very worthwhile.

SunCam provides online continuing education courses for the Professional Engineer that cover a wide field of topics for many disciplines. There is something for everyone. Fulfilling one's continuing education requirements is made easy while content and topics are informative and educational. The weekly special course offers, at reduced costs, are the best thing I have seen so far.

Sun Cam provides no nonsense, straight forward classes with realistic class literature that is commensurate with the time to review them.

Always available to ask questions. Great service to the engineering community.

Sun Cam has been a company the is very easy to work with. Registration is smooth and studying the course material went well and taking the test was an easy process.

Excellent

Excellent.

I always go to SunCam for my License renewal courses

Excellent material

I always go to SunCam for my required PE courses.

I always go to SunCam for my PE renewal courses.

I always use SunCam

Very interesting presentation of ethics

Course options are excellent. The notifications weekly as to discounted courses and course options is excellent and keeps the need for CEU completion fresh on my mind.

Course material was very basic for an experienced Engineer in the field. One problem I noted is that there is no room on form for alerting multiple states that you have completed the course -- in my case I'm registered in four states and only one was accepted in filling out the form.

I don't think SunCam requires a review The only review I can think of is to try SunCam once and the review is there

I've taken two of the solar power courses so far, by SunCam. These courses are provided me with good, fundamental information. They will enable me to get started in this dynamic industry.

Informative and enjoyable

The various SunCam courses I've tried have been well-written, specifically for them (not public domain MIL texts), and serve their intended purpose well. Compared to a 1 to 5 hour seminar you might attend they have the advantage of costing less and providing more flexibility in your schedule. I particularly appreciate the fact that exam grading details are provided, with specific comment for any incorrect response. When SunCam sends info on courses being offered it always gets my attention, especially their weekly "spotlight" course(s).

Deep water Horizon was interesting and complicated case. Extremely interest in the case from the beginning, because I have stock in BP, Transoceanic and and Halliburton . Transoceanic stock lost 85% of its value but the technology of drilling 18000ft below the surface of the Gulf is exceptionally complicated and it is marvelous engineering . unfortunately it is not needed now and possibly for the next 15 years , unless fractions is prohibited (as environmental problems is piling up) then we have an alternative technology. Excellent choice for a course

Good review of basic principles and presented in a logical progression.

I thought it would be a video. Photos and the figures would make the class more beneficial.

Very useful and informative. Easy access especially for those in less professionally active areas. This was my first course and I'll be doing others.

I have used the suncam for all my continuing education courses for this and previous periods and highly recommended it.

Course was well presented and executed. Recommend it for all Engineers.

The information was presented simply and was easy to understand. This is a very good course and a great review of information for surveyors. I look forward to more courses by Mr. Beer !!

SunCam offers good courses at a fair price It is a good source of CE credit hours.

This is an excellent review of Statics. It has been a good long while since I took statics class. A review is always beneficial.

This was a great review of the Basics of Statics.

Suncam made it easy for me to find and complete required license renewal courses. Good variety. Timely offerings. Well-written and enjoyable refreshers of many engineering topics.

SunCam offers a wide variety of courses that are well presented, informative and relevant to my profession, at a fair price. I have taken their courses for a few years and have never been disappointed. Last year's "Laws & Rules" course was the best I have ever taken on that subject.

Great course!

VERY FLEXIBLE, AN INEXPENSIVE SOURCE FOR REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION AND THIS BUINESS PASSES THE TEST OF TIME.

SunCam has and continues to provide an excellent variety of topics and quality of content at great prices.

I have been using SunCam for a number of years now and have been very satisfied with courses and customer support.

Informative. Well presented, general overview of the design requirements. Would need a bit more before feeling comfortable entering into a final design.

Good Job

I've taken Several SunCam courses over the past few years and find them to be a great value and of good quality.

Very good.

I have taken a couple SunCam courses and find them valuable, very clear and easy to follow, and worth my time and effort.

SunCam appears to offer good, straight forward courses. Would like to see courses in pavement design.

SunCam's website was easy to navigate and worked well. Course was straightforward. All in all a good experience - recommended.

Have taken 7+ SunCam courses and have been pleased with all. Good selection of subjects, good presentation, and good value for PDH's. One course would not load online but a call to their 800 number on a Saturday afternoon had it fixed in minutes...pretty darn good service.

I especially appreciate the convenience of completing the required coursework for license renewal at home on my own computer. I have used SunCam for the past several years, and plan to continue as long as my license remains active. Including the keyword as part of the questions on the exam worksheet for the laws and rules course was especially helpful. Keep up the good work!

Sun Cam offers good courses that are straight forward. I'd recommend them.

Courses clear and concise

Thank you for offering the Ethics class.

Great course in the basics of Industrial ventilation covered the subject very well, a good course with great foundation.

Thank you offering this course for free. Contains good information.

BILL WAS VERY HELPFUL

Courses are well written and very informative. The website is layed out nicely and it is easy to use. I'll continue to highly recommend SunCam to my colleagues.

Always seem to have very informative and useful courses

SunCam will allow the course to be reviewed prior to purchasing, and the computer site is easy to understand. The courses are priced within reason. Friendly to visit with on the phone. But, I need a few more surveying classes. Overall, the best!!

Good tutorials and learning experiences are all I have had with SunCam. Treat yourself to learning or relearning material in a much better way than sitting at a conference.

This is an updated rating. I originally rated Suncam a four because of lack of response to phone calls. They sent an email claiming an important diversion. Hopefully responses will be handled more promptly for everyone. If we call, there is usually an urgent need for a reply. Otherwise, we can email.

Good email communications and website. I did ask a question via telephone that was never answered. I left my question on voicemail and requested a return call. No response after 4 days. If this is improved you will gain one more star.

So many companies out there offering a small handful of courses starting at 150$ and up without benefit of user reviews SunCam is the only source I need now for CEU's.

Good courses.

I have been using SunCam for many years. The have guided me through the evolution of Florida continuing education requirements. They monitor changes in the laws and rules and keep me notified of any action required on my part. Their prices are very competitive and the courses I have taken have been most instructive. I recommend SunCam to any licensed engineer.

A good course on a difficult subject.

Good courses.

Very helpful and good guidance from person on telephone from SUNCAM.

Test is tough since lot of legal stuff.

Thanks

I can't believe I missed 3----shows you must be very careful in going through the material; even having done so several times before. Always a reminder of being careful in working ethically in this profession, as many of these issues crop up periodically.

THANKS.

SunCam provides superb services in the development, offering

and on-line utilization of engineering courses. I highly recommend

them as a top-notch Continuing Education Provider in Florida.

Possible addition to the course would be reference to the OET-65 website and work a problem or two on the website calculators.

The experience of working with this SunCam website has come a long way in the past few years. It is well organized and simple to navigate thru. Good Job !

Five stars overall, but the electronic course information appears to be set to internet explorer/microsoft software, I use google chrome and do not use outlook, so had to request a specific email link to open access. A more generic access would be helpful.

Excellent course offerings, good to learn how other parts of the Country adapt stormwater management theory to their climatic and geological requirements.

The streaming video got stuck several times.

I could not open the video in my smart phone.

Good system,

be ready for the next time

A very good and organized course offering.

Mr Dunn has been very helpful in helping out with questions or clarifications.

His responses have been very prompt and to the point.

Would definitely recommend SunCam courses to anyone reviewing or freshening up fundamentals in the various disciplines

All of the courses I have taken were well presented, provided and introducton to the subject matter or provided an refresher to the material. The tests are fair. I am getting back into the real civil engineering world and these courses have been invaluable at this time.

SUNCAM is my pick. Affordable, great selection and is reader friendly. I will be back again.

I will continue to buy as many courses from SumCam as possible. I would like to learn about FA systems.

SunCam provides good solution to the requirements for continued education. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Have always been competitive, have multitude of courses and user friendly

I am old, retired and no one is paying me. So the economical courses are very attractive to me. Keep it up. Waiting for the small solar power course to be on sale again.

Very nice and a very good price :)

As a former land surveyor using survey and abstract information as a civil engineer I found the information presented in this course very useful. I also appreciated the links provided to find further and/or more in-depth information related to the topics presented.

Excellent course selection at a very good price point.

SunCam provides a broad selection of courses and has excellent service.

I have used SunCam in the past and found the courses to be excellent and useful ofr my Civil practice.

Suncam has been very good for me. It makes PE renewal much easier and convenient. Thank-you!

Good course reasonable price

This is an excellent course and I am looking forward to Part 2.

Well organized business. Good courses. Responsive to customers.

GREAT COURSE - THANKS BILL

Excellent course descriptions; courses are straight forward and are an excellent value. Easy to purchase and download.

SunCam seems to get everything right including the price. I'll never go back to Red Vector.

This course was hard to read and poorly presented. Too many acronyms, and hard to comprehend. I was very disappointed. Hope

for future improvement.

SunCam response: Acronyms are a typical, but often hard to comprehend naming convention of federal initiatives. The author has an extensive glossary to help readers address these issues. The author has revised and updated the course to address your comments.

Another great course from SunCam, also many thanks for great customer service by Pat, with price of gas why would anyone attend a seminar when they can take it on line like I did

Another outstanding course from great SunCam, When you don't have time to attend a seminar, SunCam provides you with an easy alternative to review and learn the course at your own time and speed and get the required PDH,

Thank you Pat for great customer service you provided when I called you.

Great course very instructive and detailed.

This is the only way to stay current with required CEU's, as far as I am concerned. Very easy, educational, and reasonably priced.

Sun Cam provides and easy way to comply with the PE renewal requirenments. Thw quality of the material and presenters are excellent.

Good variety of courses which are well done. Cost is very competitive.

This is the 1st on-line CE course I've taken..It was a good experience due to stop/go procedures due to interruptions...This was the 3rd course in a series presented...(I did not take the first/ two)....The Penn State professor did a good job.

SunCam is excellent !! Good to work with, good service and course materials.

Regards SunCam Course No. 020: Good Presenter.

The course was excellent, and special thanks to SunCam's Ms. Pat Dunn for assiting me in order to get the test ordered.

The course was very good but you have not submitted my 4 PDH to the Florida Board and I am now delinquent.

Excellent Website

I have used SunCam as log as Florida has required continuing education. Yes, this goes back to receiving and watching those VHS tapes. The courses have been informative and beneficial, besides just completing the required PDH's. The online tests work well, and you have an instant answer following completion of the test, that is quickly updated to the state licensing office.

No comments

This class was awesome. As this was my first renewal of my license, it was my first time taking the laws and rules course. I have heard that stabbing yourself in the throat is more fun than taking laws and rules. BUT, the format of this exam helped ot clarify many questions I have had in practice over the first two years of my practice. This was VERY helpful and VERY practical.

The SunCam DVD was very convenient and easy to use. This is an excellent way to take re-registration courses. The presentations were very well recorded with both vidio and audio of high quality and very professionally recorded.

I appreciate the organization of the website and the ease of finding what I seek without a lot of wasted effort.

Non-flattering course reviews won't get published.

Your services are greatly appreciated.

Easy to follow instructions for taking the test

HAVE A MINIMUM OF GOTCHA QUESTIONS SUCH AS A SACK OF CEMENT WEIGHS 94 POUND BUT THE ANSWER IS ONE CUBIC FOOT BOTH ARE CORRECT HOWEVER IF A GOTCHA QUESTION IS THE MENSA ANSWER THEN HAVE IT BE.

Bill Dunn helped me all the way with the renewal with outlining the choice of subjects that were popular with others engineer anbd helping me choose wisely to having a DVD of Attorney Ed Bayo discussing the Rules and Laws. He was always available and personally answered the phone each time I called. Top notch service.

SunCam did an excellent job in preparing the Laws & Rules course. The information was very relevant to the everyday tasks of engineering. Thank you.

Very informative and entertaining. I enjoy taking well organized classes.

Very Good !

Had some minor problems with the web site.

Very efficient and effective way to learn materail and receive credits.

The SunCam program and the availability and quality of courses for PE license renewal is excellent. It is easy to use and allows you to take each course at a time and pace to fit your own schedule. I recommend it to anyone going through the renewal process.

Exellen service, easy to understand the material offered and very helpfull in deciding what courses to take. This is my 6th year dealing with Bill and Pat Dunn and I appreiate there prompt service and help when I needed it. SunCam will contnue to be my Continuous Education provider.

good product

I have used Sun Cam for continuing education before and I have always been very satisfied with the quality of the courses, ease of use of on-line services and quick returns of test results.
