I started this journey ten years ago when I took the PVIP after being in the trade for 3 years and failed. I waited another 10 years before trying again and passed with more knowledge.

Sean's PVIP course was crucial in preparing for the exam. Despite how complicated the material and process of the exam is, Sean does an excellent job of breaking down all the different sections and making the entire process clear and understandable. His responsiveness to discussion board posts also allowed any confusion or questions to be quickly resolved.
