“After over 30 years helping prepare students for Illinois tests, Ed has found a preparation formula that works. I have a background in law enforcement and security, but I did not feel prepared to take this test. I followed Ed’s directions and focused plan for studying and passed on the first try. I’m very grateful for his time and diligent development of study content.”

“I passed the test with a score of 77. Although I thought my score would be in the 80’s range, I was happy to see “passed”. Thanks Ed, I could have not passed this test without taking your test prep class.”

“As mentioned during our call. I passed my Private Detective exam with a 83 pass grade and my Private Security Contractor with a 79 pass grade. This was my first attempt for both tests. I can say that your course was absolutely critical in my results and certainly a good investment to make. I am not sure I would have passed on my first attempt without your assistance. I encourage all potential test takers to take your course and to use your study methodology.”

“Highly recommend the study prep to better study and pass the exam. Don’t believe I would have passed the first attempt without the instruction of what to study based on the books required that the test questions come from. The key was understanding the concepts and eliminate the except questions. The majority of the test questions were covered in this study prep.”

“Truly I was impressed with the thoroughness of the classes. The Attorney presenting the material kept the topics laser focused and made best use of time. I felt that the time spent on analytical approaching the questions was of great use. Ignore the “question’s noise” was very helpful. Thank you Ed”

As an alarm license holder in 9 other states I can say that taking this class is imperative to insuring you have the highest success rate possible. The Illinois exam is much different than any other qualification testing I had experienced.

I took the Alarm Contractors class and it was outstanding – Edward makes complex concepts easily understandable. The course covered all the exam’s key areas, and he was always available to answer any additional questions we had. I felt fully prepared on exam day and passed! I highly recommended this prep class to anyone aiming to become a certified alarm contractor in Illinois.

I was absolutely prepared to take the exam and succeed based upon the information provided in the Seminar. I went from a 59% in September to a 79% in March. Thank you. I have and will continue to recommend the Seminar to all colleagues.

I took the Ed Williams Prep Course Class for the Illinois Private Detective exam. I’m so glad he has the class to offer as the exam is very difficult and if it was not for his knowledge I would have probably failed. I took his class one time and with the knowledge and study material that is in the class I passed the exam on the first shot.

Ed, I came to the class with no burglar, fire or electrical code experience, studied only what you presented and passed on 1st attempt. Thanks.
