What our customers are saying about our Florida Exam Preparation Program

John is a great instructor; he kept the class moving. His time management tools for taking the test were most important to me. The office kept me informed and up to date on all info needed for the class and the home study portion was on point! 

John is truly a professional and has to be one of the most knowledgeable in the industry. It also helps he has worked in the field. He helped me to quickly perform the calculations and navigate the books. Everything from the format of the class, to the way the material was presented was fantastic!

This class was everything I was hoping it would be. If you follow the steps and listen to the instructor, I don't see how you can fail the tests. I passed both the business and the unlimited tests the first time.

John was a great speaker and teacher who did a great job of keeping the audience's attention. The most important thing that I learned was how to take the test correctly, to be efficient with time, and how to use each book individually.

The office staff was wonderful, they helped me make sure I had the right books for the exam and was prepped for the class. 

When taking the business portion, I left the testing room without a doubt knowing I got every question correct thanks to John's teachings.

I cannot be happier with the tricks and tips I've learned. It's been 10 years since I received my journeyman license and this refresher was just what I needed. 

John was very knowledgeable and to the point, if you listen and follow along you will pass no doubt.  

Jeff helped me get all set up a week before class and told me all I needed to bring to be prepared. I continually received emails and updates reminding me of little tricks to help the week go by successfully.

The home study was just enough to get my mind amped up to class mode again after not being in school for multiple years. All the material was relatable to the class. 

Great job!

John was great, he kept the class interesting and was supper helpful in showing us how to use the books.

Thank you for the opportunity to attend this class, I passed my unlimited Masters business and technical tests two days after attending on my first try.

The Instructor was patient with questions and helped us to navigate through the business book. He took the time to go over everything thoroughly. 

I learned a lot from the homestudy program. I liked the option to either read the book, do the online courses or watch a video.

I Would never had passed both exams without the prep course class or the home study portion.

I can't say enough about John! He was born to be an instructor! He was very proficient on the material and definitely kept it entertaining. He did a great job keeping the class engaged along with keeping the class on course. Not an easy thing to do with all the different characters and skill sets. There was a standing ovation at the end of the class.

The Homestudy covered a lot of material and the knowledge gained from the panel was priceless. Mike and team made it very easy to comprehend and understand the material.

Thank you! I passed both the business and technical exams on the first go around!

John really spent the time to help me understand what to expect and how to get through the test. He really worked with everyone to make sure we understood everything.

John did a great job; He is very knowledgeable and really knows how to explain everything in great detail. He showed us how to get through the books and how to use the calculations. The class was very entertaining as well. 

It was a pleasure using Mike Holt Enterprises! 

John did a great job; He is very knowledgeable and really knows how to explain everything in great detail. He showed us how to get through the books and how to use the calculations. The class was very entertaining as well. 

It was a pleasure using Mike Holt Enterprises! 

Absolutely phenomenal! John did an amazing job expertly breaking down each aspect that will be covered on the exam and it really made me feel most prepared. It was really important for me to learn the ability to navigate and understand the reference material and this class provided me with that knowledge. The office staff also did an amazing job helping me to get in the class!

John explained everything that was needed to help me pass the exam and answered all my questions. The few things I didn't understand he took the time to explain everything. The Homestudy material was great, everything I needed to know was there.

I left the class feeling very confident!

John was great! He kept the class fun and as simple as possible. He showed us the most effective way to take the test. 

I should have done this sooner! 

What an incredible class! John's teaching style is amazing, especially for someone like me who never opened the books. The explanations were clear and helped to grasp the concepts quickly. Also, the office experience was A+++

Thank you, John!

The books and online portions really helped me to prepare. When I got to the class, it really felt like I was just reviewing and getting organized for the exam. The videos really drive home the topics and explain why the code is the way it is and what it means in real life. I needed this connection to fully understand the material. The constant email communication was also really helpful. 

John has a lot of great knowledge and communicates it well. He offered many efficient methods of approaching the calculations and taking the exam. 

The class built my confidence. Mike Holt is an invaluable resource I will continue to use as I grow my business.

John laid everything out beautifully! He is absolutely the right person for the job!
The class really got me prepared for what to expect on the tests. 

Absolutely love Mike Holt Enterprises, everything they do, and everyone who works there. This company and curriculum are solely responsible for my electrical knowledge. I will forever be a supporter of this business and shout it from the rooftops! I would not have passed my exams without this class!

John is a VERY knowledgeable man with insight into the industry that someone just starting like me truly appreciates. This course helped me to know how to navigate the material on the tests and to prepare for the kind of questions I'd be dealing with. 

Thank you for preparing me to make lots of money the right way!

It was most important to me to know the nature of the test and what kind of questions I'd be dealing with. John instilled a positive, you-can-do-it attitude from the outset. He gave me the confidence to pass the exam.

Absolutely top notch, best of the best! Mike Holt's vast assortment of study materials is unequalled in its effectiveness in actually teaching information and topics! The graphics are an amazing reference. I have used his tools to pass 9 different electrical trade exams, journeyman, master, and contractors' exams from Michigan to California. I never participated in a formal apprenticeship program, and have "self-taught" myself with many mentors in the field, hard work, dedication and help from resources like Mike Holt's! And of course, the Lord! I'm nothing without my Master's License, as far as being able to provide for my family in the way I want to. Thanks Mike!!!  Shane Wilson

John and George were wonderful!  The class days were long, but the information was great and allowed me to pass both exams on the first try. 

Even though the days are long, they go by very quickly with the way John runs the class and presents the information. 

This class is a must if you want to get you EC license!

Thank you John, George, and Mike Holt for employing such wonderful people! 

The class got me prepared to take the test with confidence. John was great, you can tell he enjoys teaching and he knows what he is teaching.

Do yourself a Favor and commit the time needed to finish the at home Materials before the boot camp class. You'll be in a much better place when in class instead of frantically writing, tabbing, and highlighting you're focusing on your problem areas. Also, you will gain instant confidence in yourself to take the test.

John and the Mike Holt team gave me the confidence I needed to take my residential and business exam. John opened my eyes to the possibility of getting other licenses such as one day getting my inspector license.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class; I am looking forward to attending the seminars.

By taking Mike Holt's course, I have passed both of my exams with flying colors for Florida. I am truly grateful for the simple layout of real-world pictures and test questions. I never thought I had enough time to take the exams. I live in New York; I am a married man with two jobs and a father of two beautiful children. With Mike's course I was able to do it on my own time. I watched the videos in my car, to and from work, day/night weekdays on weekends at kid's sports, any chance I had. Then after the video, I answered the questions. Then watched videos again with a new understanding each and every time I did it. This course is truly a must-have. Even when I had questions all were answered even by Mr. Mike Holt himself. Special thanks to Mike Holt, Brian, and Dan for what a great asset you guys truly are. I can't thank you enough. Thank you for changing me and my family's life. God bless! 

I found John to be very knowledgeable, and I appreciate that he takes the instruction as serious as he does. The Homestudy material, I believe, had everything that I will need in order to pass my licensing exams. Everything about this process has been first rate from my perspective.

If I need anything in the future, I will be looking to Mike Holt first.

Learning how to navigate from book to book was very important to me. I gained a lot of good information from the instructor on how to do that. He was great! 
I followed all the instructions and advice given on the Homestudy material and passed both exams the first time. 

The most Important thing to me was to become familiar with the books. John has excellent experience on how to navigate through them. He is very knowledgeable and confident, as well as full of energy. 

The Office team is great! They were very helpful along the way; I couldn't have done it without the whole team!! 

I love the way the Homestudy material is laid out, it's so easy to translate and comprehend. I recently took the technical portion of the test and it was like I was still doing the home study! 

Again, I want to extend all my gratitude to everyone in Mike Holt industries for the level of professionalism. I look forward to many more seminars!

The Homestudy material is beneficial because I was able to learn as well as keep it. I passed both test with more than enough time to review and still left 45 minutes early, on both parts. 

In addition to the Homestudy the Capacitor is an awesome tool, especially the video classes.  

The Instructor was very thorough in the code and what we needed to learn to pass the test. Thanks for teaching us what we needed to learn and calming my nerves about taking the test! I passed both my tests!!

Jon is an Excellent teacher; he kept the class moving and interesting at all times. The Homestudy material was relevant to everything presented in the class.

I passed the Florida business and Alarm 1 exams within a week following the class. Thank you!

I passed both tests the first time on Friday and the following Tuesday.

Keep up the good work!

The class was amazing!! The instructor was very intelligent and very helpful. He taught me a different and better way to do the formulas than I was used to for 33 years

I appreciate the expertise of the way the home study material is structured. I also appreciate the videos and the professionalism of all involved

The Instructor is extremely knowledgeable and makes the day pass by. Also, the little ways to remember what book is used for what really helps.

I took my first course with John back in 2009 for my ES license. He is very helpful and an amazing instructor. I felt comfortable from day 1 with his knowledge and teaching method. He keeps a good pace and is always helpful with all levels of students. Most importantly we learned how to navigate the NEC code book.

John shows compassion and does everything he can to help you.
The home study material is on point and you are there to support us as future contractors. Most important this course is a path to take the test and be successful.

Great job by John and office support! 

John is a great teacher he really knows the information and has really clever and easy sayings to help you remember things.

The class goes over so much material in each section that it really gives you knowledge of that section, and is easy to follow. Most importantly it went over how to simplify equations and how to attack the exams.

Your class did everything it said it would do.

After spending a week with John in the Mike Holt class, I went into the test very well prepared. I did the business exam in 1 1/2 hours and the technical in 2 1/2 hours and passed both. I would strongly recommend this preparation to any and everyone.

John is a great instructor with ample knowledge. His class got me to pass the exam. He taught us the proper way to take the exam and a better way to navigate through the books.

I have always wanted my masters as I've been a journeyman since 2000. This boot camp class is what I should have taken long ago instead of putting my test off for years. I will definitely attend again to stay on top of our industry. I passed my Master exam on Friday morning with 46 minutes left for the state of VA. It's great to do business with a company that answers emails/phone calls with solutions. Keep up the amazing work!

I want to thank Mike Holt Enterprises, John and George for the awesome program you guys have. The home study really helped me prep for the intense 6-day live class. Today, I went and took the Unlimited Technical, as well as the Business exams. I really tried remembering everything John said to do during the test. I passed both the first time I took them. Awesome, Awesome, teachers. Thank you again and God bless!

Thank you Mike for this program! I passed my exam on the first try! To whoever is reading this, if you take this program, you will pass.

The most important thing I learned was how to navigate the reference books. The instructor John was a great guy and a great teacher.

The Office staff was amazing and the homestudy material was perfect. The entire experience was awesome. Mr. Mills, John was great. He was an absolute pleasure to be with. I am now officially a Master Electrician!

I have been in the trade since I was 16 years old. I’m 35 now! When I was 19, my biggest fan and my hero, whom I called Pawpaw, passed away. A few weeks before he died, he said "son make the mistakes but don't let the mistakes make you!!! Promise me you'll get that masters or journeyman’s license. Well, thanks to Mike Holt and the way he teaches the fundamentals, on April 20, 2022, I passed my Electrical Contractors test. I just wanted to let anyone who's hesitant about buying Mike Holt’s program know, don't be. It truly is Awesome, and you won't regret it. Thank You Mr. Holt you’re a true blessing to people like me. God Bless you and your family!!!!

John really knows his stuff and is helpful with all the questions. He kept us laughing and interested throughout the whole day. The most important thing I learned was how to prepare myself for the exam. I felt more prepared this time for the business exam, than I did the last time I took it. You have really put some time and thought into this course, worth every penny.

Well-structured course, John did a great job of answering the questions and moving through the courses. Brilliant instructor and his knowledge blows you away!! When interacting with the office staff, I worked mostly with Ilene. She was OUTSTANDING and very knowledgeable of the process. I would recommend that anyone at any level take the six-day class.

I heard this class was the best, my boss recommended it and it certainly made a difference! I learned test taking skills and confidence building. The instructor helped break down the books and had great practice questions to help prepare us for the test, he was the best teacher for this subject!

John, the instructor, was excellent and the office staff was great. With the home study material and the class, I felt prepared and I have already passed the business section.

John was a great instructor and made the class interesting and fun. To be honest, when the class was over I didn't think I got much from the class, but I soon realized that the way John taught the class, I absorbed almost everything he taught. He prepared me to take both tests, and I passed both on the first try. Thank you John for helping me pass both tests. 

I took my exams and passed them. I had to repeat the technical exam because the first time I failed, but the second time it was wonderful. I want to thank you for your patience and affection that you put into the class. The truth is, that in my case, you made it less difficult despite the language barrier. John you are an amazing teacher. I extend my thanks to you and I am available for anything I can help you with. 

Comprehensive, good reputation, Christian based.

The most important thing I learned was how to prepare for the structure of the exam and navigate the books. You helped eliminate any mystery or intimidating elements of taking the exam. The team did an amazing job of making me feel prepared for the exam. I've taken both exams (Alarm 1 and Business) and passed each on the first try. I can't tell you how helpful the class was in preparing me and providing confidence in taking the exam.

Hands down the best company I've come across for exam prep. I had an ER license and wanted to get my EC. Having taken a similar test for the ER, I just got the home study package. It was absolutely brilliant! I've been doing this for many years and thought I was reasonably sound as far as knowledge goes. But I would say the DVD package takes it to a whole other level. I particularly found the DVDs on Grounding and Bonding to be absolutely brilliant and a must watch for any electrician. This course is brilliant for exam preparation, but it's so much more. It provides a new knowledge of fundamentals that no other course provides. I feel it's a must for any electrical contractor regardless of whether you're taking a test. With Mike's package, I was able to pass my Unlimited EC license on the first try. Can't thank Mike and his team enough. I would highly recommend this company.

Mike Holt's exam prep program is the best. I have taken other exam prep courses, none of which can compare to this course. I completed all of the study material before the class. The parts I had trouble with or didn't feel confident about, John, my instructor, broke it down and made it easy. I took my Unlimited Electrical Contractor's exams the following two days after the class, Thursday for the business, and Friday the technical. I passed both sections the first time with plenty of time to spare. For this I want to thank the Mike Holt team and John for helping me along this journey. I give this course a 10 out of 10. John covered everything needed to be ready for the exam and how to take the exam. I don't think there is anything I would change about the class or the way it was structured. The material is everything you need and then some. The home study is perfect, just what is needed. John is very knowledgeable and one of the smartest instructors I have had. Anytime I would speak or email the office of Mike Holt, his staff were nothing but top notch and helpful. Always polite and genuinely wanting to help in anyway possible. For this, I highly recommend Mike Holt's program and team to anyone. I am looking forward to completing my continuing education through Mike Holt. Thank you again for everything. You guys do an amazing job.

Just passed my State Exam thanks to your books Mike. I will continue to buy and encourage others to buy your products. God bless

I just want to say thank you. I passed my Alarm II on my first try. The classes were great and very helpful. John kept us focused and entertained. I was never bored during the whole week... Thank you everybody. God bless you all. It was worth it...

I took the class this past week with John Mills teaching. I passed both the business and technical on the first try. I think that is worth a 5-Star rating! Thanks a bunch John!!! Without your class it would have been so tough. I finished the business 1 hour early and finished the technical 2.5 hours early!! I scored a 99% on both. Mike Holt and John Mills and team are great and worth the time and money. See you for the next license.

I started in the electrical trade roughly 25 years ago. Throughout those years, I constantly heard of Mike Holt and of the success rate of the students after taking his course. I honestly didn't believe that the pass rate could be so high, but I took the chance and enrolled for the Unlimited Electrical Contractor's course. When I took the exam, I was fully prepared for both the EC and Business portions. I passed both with flying colors and I had plenty of time to review each and every question before I submitted my answers. I have kept in touch with a few of the guys that I met while taking the course, they all passed as well. One of the greatest joys in my life was to hand my father (a master electrician too) my test results and seeing him fill with pride. Thank you, Mike, for putting together such a great and skilled team that made my dream possible.  

John did a great job on covering HOW to take the test. The highlights and short cuts on difficult questions came in handy. I passed the business test on the first attempt and the technical test on the second attempt. This has been a long time personal goal of mine and the Mike Holt system works if you buy in. Thanks John Mills and The Mike Holt Family.

The Florida Exam Prep Class provided the tools required to take the Exams. I learned how to efficiently find information in the reference books. Mr. Mills had the knowledge and skills required to teach the Exam Prep Class. He was available and willing to help with any and all questions. The home study material was good. I am pleased to let you know that I passed my Business and Technical Exams on the first try! The Mike Holt Exam Prep Class really helped me understand what to expect from the exam and how to be organized and prepared.      

I passed both exams this past weekend. John's a very good instructor & covered the material thoroughly yet efficiently. Thanks for your help & encouragement. Kind Regards,

I passed the burglar alarm test today and the books that I bought from you were extremely helpful. The information was presented in a clear and concise manner. 
Sincerely,   

I would rate the course a ten. I passed both my business and my unlimited test on the first try. I wouldn't have passed without the class. The most important thing I learned was how to take the test. John's method of writing down all the books first worked well. I finished both tests with lots of time left. The material was right on the mark.  I was well prepared for both exams. John is a fantastic instructor. He does a great job of giving you little tricks to remember the information.  He was always very professional and was always available if you had question. You guys are the best. Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,

I rate John's State Class a 10 out of 10. All the info was relevant to the course of study and John and George made it a great learning environment. The most important thing I learned was how to maneuver the Mountain of Reference Manuals and how to Effectively take the Exam. As having just taken the EC Exam yesterday and Passing both the Technical and Contractor's Law, I would say the Material Covered is very relevant. John is a top-notch Instructor; anyone who can keep the interest of 30 plus Electricians for that may hours is doing something right. I would recommend this course to any Professional Electrician. 

I passed the business with a 99% and tech with a 99%. Please tell John and George thank you. I am now the third generation of electrical contractor in my family. I can not wait to see what my license number is going to be. My grandfather's was 741, Dad's is 1187. 

I would rate this class a 10. The first day would have told you there is no way you would have gotten a 10, but after I figured out what John was trying to help us do the class got easier! The most important thing I learned was "Hammer" time (John will get it)- how to take the test and the proper approach. The content was appropriate and relevant; a lot of the items we covered in class were a great help with the test.

John..... What to say. You have the right guy for the Job. He is one of the most well-versed teachers I have ever had the opportunity to know.  You can see and feel his passion. You cannot help but get infected by it. I was very nervous about sitting for my class, let alone the test. I put it off for 2 years! (What a waste). He gets you prepared like no other ( If you are open and willing to put in the time). 
Thanks again,

John did a great job! He was charismatic and really made the subject interesting.  You can really tell he loves to teach and loves the subject matter.  John and George are a great team, they really helped with keeping things on track throughout the week.

I took the technical portion of the test and passed, no problem. A testament to your course and instructors.  I'm scheduled for my business exam on the beginning of the new year...

I PASSED THE BUSINESS AND UNLIMITED 1st TEST! The course was a 10! Thanks John, the course built my confidence and enabled me to pass both of my tests (business and unlimited electrical) the first time.

Hi guys!
Just want to say thanks to all of you at MHE for your help!I passed BOTH of my exams with very little trouble and time to spare. As for the class, it took me where I needed to be to pass those babies! John Mills is great.
 
I'm looking forward to taking more study courses and will definitely tell anyone interested about the Mike Holt experience.
All the Best!

The class was very good. I could not have passed without it. John did a great job(10).

To all
10 rating on class - good info - good instructors. The most important thing I learned was to stay calm in the face of danger, in this case, "the test". The content was very relevant, even though I was taking the B&L for the CILB, not the ECLB, so there were more questions, more time and more books than just the CM. John could not be better. He can be to the point, keep the class on track, but keep it light to keep your attention
and make you feel relaxed all before you even realized it had happened. If a person does not pass the exam(s) after taking your course, they plain just did not put forth any effort.
PS: Yes I passed the B&L exam so I'm off to the big house to complete the last hurdle, with the help of Dawn.
Thanks

The course was a 10! The calculations simplified things a lot for me - the content was dead on. John knows exactly how to help you pass the test.I passed my test on Thursday and Friday immediately following the class.

I rate the Florida State Contractors class a 10. John was great teacher - I now passed my test, I'm 24, and a state master! Feels really good, was worth every penny and all topics were on point with test material. My favorite part of the class was when Mr Mike Holt himself stepped in and talked - it was super inspiring and definitely motivating! 

I went through Mike Holt's Florida State exam prep course in Orlando. I wanted to thank John for answering all my questions and keeping the course interesting. I wasn't sure how I would stay awake for 6 days straight of electrical lingo, but it flowed so smoothly! I took both my tests over the next 2 days following the course and passed the technical but unfortunately failed the business portion. I retook my exam exactly 21 days later, today, and passed!
Thank you guys for everything, you're a great team.

The instructor and his style of teaching was awesome! Passed my first test no problem, on to the second with confidence...
John A. Streb

I have passed both Florida State tests and could not have done it without you! John was very experienced and did a good job of letting us know what to expect. I really appreciate learning the importance of getting around the books
Thanks so much!                                 

I purchased Mike's products to prepare for the Florida Contractors exam. I really like Mr.Holt's ability to clearly and effectively communicate explanations of details that otherwise would be difficult to comprehend.

In a word...  JOHN MILLS!  The man is a gifted teacher/instructor - you guys pretty much have all bases covered.

Hi Sarina, I had to tell you guys how great the training was that I went through with John and George.  I walked in the class completely confident and prepared.   The test was a breeze with your training. Thank you guys for a wonderful program and I look forward to seeing you guys again for Continuing Education.  Thanks again,
Camell D. Williams, COO

I wanted to thank Sarina and Mr.Holt's instructors John and George; they made it possible for me to have passed both the unlimited electrical license and the business test on the first try. Without these classes I know I would have not passed. The classes were very intensive, the formulas were very helpful. I give these classes a 10. Thanks again,

The school was great.  The instructor was the best - he kept us awake thru the whole class! He really knows what he teaches. Thank you for everything - I passed my test!
   

Sarina & All 
Thank you to everybody there at Mike Holt for your help, especially John Mills my instructor. I am not a good test taker so I signed up for the class before testing last Wednesday. Thursday I tested Business a 2.5 hour test; after going thru the questions 3 times, 1.5 hours in to it I felt I had done my best - and passed. Wednesday a week later I tested technical a 5.5 hour test; again after going thru the questions 3 times, 2 hours in to it I felt I had done my best - and passed. I would not have made it with out the class.
Thank you,

Hi Sarina, 

Just wanted to respond back and let you guys know that I had an overall great experience. I took my business test on Thursday the 13th after the class was over and took my technical test yesterday the 18th and was able to pass both of them the first time! John and George were both extremely helpful from start to finish and I would not have passed the test without their guidance. I would rate the course a 10 and think the most important thing was the long days and the classroom environment that mentally prepares you for when you walk into the place you are taking your test. There were no disappointments and would recommend the course to others. Thanks Again,

The most important thing that I learned about in the Florida State Exam class was the test itself and what content we should spend our time reviewing.  In addition, there were several items that were not covered in the books, that John walked us thru that made a big impact. John did a great job.  They were long days and John kept the group interested and there was enough humor thrown in to have everyone pay close attention.  John really is a good instructor and I cannot imagine a better instructor for this type of class.

I would like to take this time to thank the Mike Holt Enterprises team: Mike Holt,Sarina Snow, John Mills, Jorge. And the office. Personal overall the best - I passed the test first time; I thank GOD for you guys GOD BLESS U all.

I just wanted to thank you guys.  I easily passed both my exams. I previously used another company for my LVU exam in GA.  I passed that one the first time also but I wasn't as confident when I clicked the submit button.  Your class was much more thorough.  I had several questions on my test that weren't covered in the class, but I knew where and how to find them.
Thank You!

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my technical exam on Friday and was very pleased with the course.  I was only able to study for about a week prior to the course and John took us through the material giving me the confidence to register for the test after the second day of class.  He is an incredible instructor! 

Sarina, I passed my business test yesterday so one more to go. The course was a 10, and I learned how to better use reference books. John Mills was awesome.
Thanks,

This is to let you all know how much all of you helped me pass my test and to thank all for the help and knowledge that was given. I don't think I could have done it on my own and I will be doing more with continuing education in the future. Thanks again for everything.

Sarina, 
I passed both tests Business and EC. John is the man! I think everyone in Lake Mary heard me when I got out of the building. Also, I did a horrible Chicken Dance in the lobby. Made the proctor laugh though. Thank you both for everything.
Take care.
 

Sarina was nice and helpful. The material covered in the class was key and instrumental in passing the exams. The class instructor was upbeat, covered the material as well as possible considering the time allotted.  I have passed both of my exams and would recommend the course to others in the future.

I rate the course a 10. John did an excellent job explaining the material and really knows his stuff. The most important thing that I learned was how to look-up and understand the Florida contractors manual. He broke it down, so I would know where to look. He really is a great asset for Mike Holt Enterprises!
Thanks,
 | Senior Project Manager

I give the coarse a 10 out of 10! John is a great teacher. I passed both unlimited exams with a 99 percent. Thanks 

Sarina, I wanted to let you know that I passed both tests on the first go round which is a true testimony to the Mike Holt prep course. The course is a 10! The most valuable thing I learned was how to take the test which included highlighting, tabbing, making notes in the book and many formulas to complete the calculations. Also, if you can't find the answer don't waste a bunch of time and use "C". LOL! Content was great and very relevant. John was truly one of the best instructors I have had the opportunity to work with. He is VERY knowledgeable in what he is teaching as well as enjoys teaching and training and you can truly see it as well as hear it in his content. He is also very humorous which is needed considering this class is 6 straight days at 12+ hours a day. All and all Great job by John. I will continue to recommend Mike Holt's.
Thanks again!!

Sarina,
I would rate the program a 10 and the most important thing I learned is that if you apply yourself you can do whatever you put your mind to. I have to say I was not disappointed about any thing and the content was a little over board only because I was there for Limited Energy but I appreciated the extra knowledge and the math. John our instructor was upbeat and witty and I enjoyed the class a lot and would recommend it the anyone for any electrical license they need. Thank you all for your professionalism, I passed both my test with ease.
Thanks Again,

Just finished the Orlando FL class for Specialty Electric sign. Got a 98 and 99 on the exams! 

I thought the class was packed full of information ...the only way to go. I have passed both my tests and plan on continuing to the next level.. Content was appropriate and John did a great job and was easy to follow. I felt very prepared for the class. Thank you.

Passed! Business part in an 1:30! The course is a 10, and the most important thing I learned is how to use the book. The content is appropriate, and John is a very good instructor.
Michael Griffis

FYI, I passed the Electrical exam today and the Business exam last Friday. Mark me down as passing both exams the first time!

I took both the business law and unlimited exam last week. I passed both of them the first time and it was due to the great help that your class provided. Great instructor who really knows how to help you pass the exams. Thanks and I look forward to future classes with Mike Holt.

I loved the class and all materials you provided to prepare for the exam. I was very successful as I passed both tests the first time. John is very good at his job, and I would not change anything, as it was laid out. A big thumbs-up!

John did a good job.I took the technical exam on Friday after the course and passed no prob; I took the business exam Tuesday after the course and passed no prob. Thanks for all the help. 

Hello Sarina,
I PASSED!!!!!! 
The course is a 10! The most important thing I learned was how to use code book. John is one of a kind! Very informative and extremely intelligent. Thanks 

Sarina,
I just wanted to write a sincere thank you letter. The class helped me tremendously and the teacher was wonderful - I could not ask for a better instructor. Thank you for all of your help! 
Best Regards, 

John,
I wanted to thank you for your efforts in the March Unlimited Class in Orlando. I left the class feeling 100% prepared for the exams. I passed both and will be surprised if I missed more than one on each exam. I felt the exams were easy after you preparation. You made the classes informative as well as entertaining and kept my interest the whole time.
Thanks again,

I definitely rate this course a 10. I would not have passed the technical without it. 
The most important thing I learned during this course is how to break down the books and take the test. John gave us many pointers on how to take this type of test. I was not disappointed in any way and would strongly recommend this course to anyone taking the EC test. The content was both appropriate and relevant to the tests. Keeping in mind that you should have already gone through the work books and understand code, this course gave me the valuable extra information to pass the tests. I answered approximately 50 test questions without opening the books. 
John is a tireless instructor that is passionate about teaching his students. I was never bored during the long hours of this course. It is a truly talented teacher that can keep that many students on task for that long a period of time.
Thank you, 
 

Thanks Sarina,
I PASSED both sections of my EC test..John Mills and your class were an amazing help!!!!!
See you at the continuing ed classes :)
Steve Olaughlin

Most important thing I learned was look up the answers; job knowledge is not necessarily the right answer. (the state exam proved this true)
 
John is great! He is real and calls it the way he sees it. I enjoyed his presentation. I finished the course on Wednesday afternoon and sat for the Technical part of the exam on Friday. I used John's technique for taking the exam, had no stress taking it and without a doubt if I had not taken this prep course I don't think I would have passed the exam. John had me very well prepared.
 
Warm Regards,
s

I passed!
Thank you Sarina and John for all your assistance.  I passed the business portion on Thursday, and the technical portion on Friday.  Now I can forget everything I learned about running a business for the exam and get back to running a business!!

Dear Sarina:
It was last August when we first talked. I was trying to get my husband registered in one of your trainings; well now he is an electrical contractor. I could not help sharing what we are feeling with you. When we started we were so lost and your staff guided us to obtain this much-wanted license. The instructors were always trying to make sure he was following them. George Cancio assisted him in Spanish and was very helpful and patient.
We are really grateful for hearing about you, and the course was really worthy.
Thanks again,
Sincererly,

I rate this course a 10. The most important thing I learned was how to find the information in our books in a timely manner. The class was geared for taking the test and it stayed within that application very well. I was not disappointed in any way - the content was spot on. The class was well directed and the instructor was very good at keeping everyone focused on what they needed to do to take the exam. John is class act - he keeps the material exciting and keeps everyone on topic and focused. 

I was pleased with every aspect of the transaction. Customer Service was polite and and very helpful. I can't think of anything that your organization could have done better than how it was completed. Your company is a rare find indeed. I cannot think of one improvement that you need to make. What a wonderful company to do business with. The books are very well written and the class was excellent,

Last week was amazing. I don't even know where to start complimenting you, John and the rest of the Mike Holt staff, including Mike himself who was gracious enough to take time from his busy schedule to drop by and give us some words of wisdom and encouragement. I guess the best compliment I can give you is that I came back Wednesday night, took my business exam yesterday, and passed. Today I take my technical and I am confident about the results I will achieve. 
What else can I say about John? If I had any plans to bear children, I would name my first born after him. His material and information was not only relevant but presented in such a manner that made it funny and exciting to learn. After so many years of being out of school, I was so scared to take this leap of faith, yet with your guidance and encouragement, and John's incredible knowledge and gift for teaching, I am looking forward to continuing my education even further. 
Thank you again for all your support and encouragement and have yourself a Blessed holiday season as well as a new year chock full of all of your heart's desires.

Sarina, 
This class was the best thing I could do to prepare for the exam. I have taken both test and passed. Thanks to you and the whole team there. On the ratings   #1-10,    #2- How to find info in the books. Mainly the CM book,   #3- John only took his shirt off twice.    #4-content was excellent   #5- John and George were great   Thank you again and hope you have a great Holiday

Sarina,
I would rate the course a 15! I think the most important thing I have learned is that I could accomplish anything if I put my mind to it. I haven't had to study this hard in 30 years and John made it seam so easy to do. You guys are lucky to have such a great instructor like John!!! He really made the class time fly by. Also he really knows his stuff. I want to thank you, John, George and Mike of course. Thanks for everything you guys did to help me and for helping other future Electricians. Thanks to people like you, new electricians will be better prepared to perform their jobs. You guys rock.  Thanks once again.
    

Well I took John Mills class in June and passed both tests the first time out of the box and finally got my license number!!! Thank you once again for a great class and great preparation. Even though I took my tests 3 weeks after the class the proper tabbing of the books and knowing where to find answers was the key!! I would be glad to offer a reference for you and the class!!! Thank you again John the class helped me a lot - that and preparing for NICET same theory. Thanks guy!!!!!!
 

The class was easily a 10. The most important thing learned was not to be afraid of the test, and this is the one thing that has had me stressed out. Without a doubt, after taking the course I feel more confident that I will do well on the exams. All I can say about John is that I wish I had an instructor like him when I was in electronics school. He is very good at what he does.
PS Thank you, Sarina for all your patience.

The class was a 10. The best thing was to learn which book to refer to given a particular question. John was great. Very knowledgeable and he kept your attention during the long class hours by interjecting jokes quite often.  He basically didn't waste any time, but told you EXACTLY what you needed to know.  Nothing more, nothing less. Great Job!
Thanks,


PS. By the way Sarina, I passed both exams!  :-)  Thank you for your help as well.  

Hi Sarina-
I would rate the course a 10. I think John does a great job of preparing you for the test The most important things I learned last week in the class were concerning the business items. Even though I am involved with the "business" every day there are things covered in your class that we don't see much. John also did a good job of keeping you confident that you WILL pass this test No disappointments-content was great-probably covered 90% of the material I saw on my test I thought the class was very good and I would recommend it to all who are preparing to take the test I passed both tests last week

Thank you,

Godfrey Electric, Inc.

I would rate the course a 10. The most important thing we learned is not to worry about the exam - to trust what we learned and apply it. The weeks I spent going over the workbooks was a little overwhelming but John made it simple and put me at ease. John did a great job. In the few days we had with him, he explained everything so that we could remember the material and apply it to the exam. He was a great teacher. He blended instruction with the right amount of story telling and humor to keep me at ease. He was very good at recognizing "mind block" and changing gears. His knowledge of the material was astounding and assured me that if I follow his instruction, I will have no problem passing the exam. This program was worth every penny. 
 

Offered plenty of info and guidance for taking the state exam.

Sarina is by far the best part of the program. She walks you through all the difficult steps in a calm, reassuring way. She always returns phone calls and answers all my questions no matter how silly they may seem. I had no idea what I was in for or what test I could qualify to test for. After speaking with Sarina for about ten minutes I dared to dream and believe bigger than I ever did before. She was right, after working in this industry for over twenty-eight years, I needed to go for all the whole enchilada. I am now studying harder than I ever did as an apprentice because I feel as if Mike, Sarina and all the rest of the wonderful teachers are giving me the best possible chance of passing my exam on the first try..

The books are well organized, the hit the spot

Sarina, I would like to inform you I passed both the business and technical tests for my state license. Passed the first time out on 6/22 and 6/23 with a 99% on both (ask John about the 99%). The class I took with John Mills was very good and listening to him during the marathon sessions and the ideas I had on taking the test all worked out well!
John is a VERY GOOD instructor and I would recommend him and Mike Holt to any one looking to take the test for a state license.  Again thank you all for a great experience and a very successful testing process.

This course is a 10! It teaches how to navigate through the text books to find the answers. The content was relevant and appropriate. John is a wonderful teacher.  It is not easy to teach for long hours like he does and be able to keep the audience engaged and entertained while still being able to get the point across.  He is one of the best instructors I have ever had.

 

John,
I would like to thank you again for all your help.  I took the technical test today and passed it!

JOHN IS THE MAN

I would give the State Class a 10 based on the knowledge of the instructor. The most important thing I learned was how to navigate the manuals and what to look for on the test. The content approach was quite good and it was well worth the time to attend. John is a very knowledgeable man!!! A good instructor who knows when to back off a little to help us to regroup our minds and relax some and then proceed. He is very, very knowledgeable in the subject and is a credit to the Mike Holt Company. I did enjoy my time in class even though by the end of each day I was exhausted and ready to rest.  Again the way the class is organized is excellent, and is very informative. You don't know that at first and the first day did get frustrating but after it was apparent why John did things the way he did. 



 

The course content was VERY appropriate and relevant. John was to the point and very lively he kept me interested for the entire class. He has plenty of quick tips that simplified the process. There was no doubt in my mind that I passed each section as I turned them in. John limits irrelevant comments and sticks to the course. In my opinion he did a outstanding job.
Noble

The most important thing I learned this week is how to take the exam, and what not to get caught up in; how to use the reference books. I thought John was a very good instructor, he kept me motivated as well as pumped up with little jokes and discussion to break up the actual learning process. John you Da Man Thank You 

You have an Entire Team of great professionals. In every aspect of the operation a well knowledgeable person is there to help you.

I enjoyed the classes and the instructor's insights - great effort in knowing all that encompasses the topic. I'm excited about learning to teach Mike Holt's programs in the future.  Whenever I think of electrical information, I will always look Mike Holt's way.

The content of this class was very appropriate and relevant - I learned how to navigate the books along with PEIR. John and George were Perfect!!! Definitely an asset to your organization. Very friendly, informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. It was also a pleasant surprise to have Mike Holt stop by. What a guy! 

I passed the business back in Dec. and I took the Technical today for the unlimited and PASSED! 99%. Thanks John! And Sarina, thanks for all of your help!!!!  You guys are a Great team!!!!

Thanks - 

The course I took, Limited Energy, far surpassed what I expected it to be.  I rate this course a 10.  This rating is, for the most part, due to the way the topics were covered. I learned a lot and will be back when I decide to take the UNLIMITED test.

I have taken other classes in the past covering various topics.  John was by far the most instructive, patient and comical instructor I have had the pleasure of dealing with.  He kept the class interesting.  I was worried about falling asleep with the amount of time that we were in session, not with John as the instructor.  There were things that didn't "sink in" the first time and he took the time to go over them again in a different manner and what do you know, it worked. His life experiences made a lot of the material easier to comprehend and understand.

The most important thing I learned during the week was to focus on the test taking skills (don't try to lean in the exam). The the content of the class was appropriate and relevant? John and George are awesome.

Mr. Holt, 
I was put into a situation where I needed to get a Florida Alarm 1 license. I bought your courses, studied your books, DVDs and attended your review class. It was all overwhelming and I knew I was in over my head. The most motivating thing in the process was your 20 minute unscheduled visit to our class. Mike, you said we would pass the test. It may not be the first time or the second, but you said we'd pass the test. That inspired me to keep going on. I took the tests Mike, both of them in Florida and I did not pass them. God passed them for me. In November the State of Florida issued me a Florida Alarm 1 License. Thank you for the tools and motivation. I've got a long way to go, but I'm on my way. 

The content was perfect. John is very entertaining, informative, and just perfect for the job! I passed today's technical exam.
D. Varga

This was the most informative interactive preparation for an exam I have EVER attended. I will recommend it to everyone preparing for the Florida exams. The Mike Holt products are as usual first class.

Professional, quick and accurate response. I have dealt with Mike Holt Enterprises on numerous occasions, and frequently use the web site for my employees, and my personal training. The on-line sample tests are very good, and the study material is the best I've found. I've tried other providers, and discovered that Mike Holt's products are superior. I keep the website in my favorites to constantly verify each states requirements, and links. I also use Mike's code questions for my weekly training for my employees, which they truly appreciate.
Great job, keep it up.

I completed the six day cram course on Wednesday September 16, 2009 and I took the Technical exam on Thursday the 17th. Its with a heart filled with gratitude that I am informing you that I've passed the test. I've encouraged an associate of mine to purchase the complete package with DVD's and cram session.  Thanks again for all your help and flexibility with getting into the class. Before Mike Holt's prep I scored a 68% - with the prep class I blew it out of the water!
Jesus A. Fonte

John was a good teacher kept things lively & upbeat so as to avoid becoming bored & losing focus. As I have been an electrician some 21 years now & have operated a business in Florida for going on five years I am quite familiar with the trade as you can imagine. This course focused on passing the test which is not necessarily the same as being a good electrical contractor. Even with my experience I was able to pickup some additional knowledge which I probably would have either had to find by trial & error. Overall a very informative class.

I would like to thank John and George for there dedication and commitment to all the students who attended the September 09 unlimited course.  This course was top notch and well executed.  John really knows how to break questions down into there simplest form.  I took both business and technical exams and scored a 99% on the first try. WOW!!! I couldn't believe how confident I was going into and during the exam.  I finished both business and technical exams with 1 hr remaining to review each.  For future students I would recommend taking the tests immediately after the course and also taking the business and law exam first.
 
Thanks Again,
 

 

Content was excellent. I would not have passed without this class. John was EXCELLENT. Probably the best instructor I've ever had. Extremely knowledgeable, but also funny and interacted well with the class. George was also great - they made a good team.

Overall - excellent class, great instructor, well worth the time & money.

Sarina, 
We passed the exams. The instructors John and George are brilliant. Your program really does work.

Thank you!
 

I would rate this course a 10; John was excellent.

Sarina,
I am pretty sure I received 100% on both sections of my state exam. I was pretty confident taking the exam. 
Thank you,

Sarina,
I thought that the class was very well put together.  John did a great job of showing us all of the material that was on the test.
By the way John, I got a 99 on both the business and technical.
Thanks for all of your help.  

Brian M.

Sarina,
The class was just as I expected - after being through it three years ago
I knew it would be first rate. John and George did an excellent job. They kept us awake and interested!

I can't say enough about John and his abilities to get the message across. I took the business test today and got a 99%. I also got a 99% on the tech portion! THAT SAYS IT ALL !!!!
      

SARINA, I WOULD GIVE THE CLASS A 10! JOHN WAS GREAT AND VERY MOTIVATIONAL. GEORGE WAS ALSO A TREMENDOUS HELP!
THANK YOU,
MADELINE ROGERS

Sarina,
I just passed the technical unlimited today; I passed the Business yesterday. Both were my first attempts at the state test. I did everything you and Mike recommend as far as study time, and with that and the class I was more than prepared to pass the tests.
Thank you to John, George, Mike, and you for all your help!

What I was pleased with the most was talking with Sarina - she is great
Stay the course...
 

Well Sarina first things first i passed my exams 1st time.
So I did enjoy the class and found it very helpful towards my success. As far as John Mills goes he's a great guy, and great teacher. I know John from night school and he's very  helpful and very educated. So I want to thank you and Mike Holt for everything and I will be happy to refer people to your course.

Hello Sarina,

1. I rate this class a 10++++++++
2. The most important thing I learned was to stay calm and focused
3. I was not disappointed by the course in any way
4. Approximately 99% of the questions I got on my test were covered in class or I learned how to look up the information
5. John Mills is hands down the best instructor I have had the opportunity to learn from. He broke down the information where even a 3rd grader could understand it. He kept us all focused and made the class enjoyable
6. Yes, you may use my comments in any way, shape or form you deem necessary to promote this outstanding course

And by the way, I passed both exams. This course helped me realize a goal I had set for myself a long time ago. 

Best regards,

I will rate the class by this - I passed the Technical portion of the State Exam today. I just want to say thanks to all the staff, as all of you have been very supportive and helpful from day one.

John was very helpful in the areas that I was not sure about. All my issues that I had with the test were taken away after the class was over. Until this class I had a lot of doubts about taken the test again but now I don't. 

Hi Sarina,
The Orlando State Class was great; John is an excellent instructor and keeps things light hearted and fun. The class was very educational on many levels.

Since I first spoke with you until now, it has been a great experience and I would like to extend my thanks to all of you in your continued support.

 

Thank you very much and for all your help.
John was excellent! This was well organized and presented.

Best instructor I have ever had - VERY VERY GOOD!!

 I would definitely recommend this course to anyone taking the exam.
The information was about everything we needed to be aware of. John, kept the class moving and broke the tension to keep everyone focused.

I was very impressed  by this class, I have no doubt in my mind that I can pass this test.  Everything was really well put together,  John did an excellent job covering the material,  and kept us relaxed.  The Ramada was well suited for the purpose.  I had all the right books thanks to Sarina, who did a great job preparing  me for what was to come. 

Thanks, for all your help

Well, you Sarina are a doll. John Mills is an excellent instructor.

Good morning Sarina. Thanks to all the staff at Mike Holt for the excellence in which the Exam Prep Class was handled. Starting with John and Jorge, I can not say enough. It was as he stated from the very beginning. All we need to do is listen to him and follow his instructions and advice and we'll pass the test. I honestly believe that I would not have passed the test with as much ease, let alone at all, if it were not for that week I spent in Kissimmee cramming. I do not believe that I wouldn't have passed the test eventually, but the course provided something that is pretty difficult for any of us to get at home and that's uninterrupted study and concentration. I have done my share of studying at home for other exams as well as continuing education courses. Mike has been my mentor since I started with you guys back in 1990. But there is no way I would have reached the level of focus and preparation had I attempted to study on borrowed time at home or work. I will say this; any person even contemplating taking the state exam will be doing them selves a tremendous injustice if they do not take this course. I strongly believe you simply can not be better prepared any other way. Not just for the exam itself, but with all the help and advice we received along the way. John and Jorge really wanted us to pass that test and they couldn't have given any more of them selves to show it. Thanks to John and Jorge and all of you at Mike Holt for the years of help and encouragement you have given me and countless others. You are truly my second family. Thank you and God Bless you. He has certainly Blessed me and my family.

Luis Garcell

I would never have been as mentally ready for the challenge, had I not spent the time in your class the prior week. I passed the first time and that was the goal of taking the class and home study program. Your instructor was excellent and brought some very diffucult material down to the simplest of terms with PEIR and other strategeis.

Jim Hunniford

Hi Sarina,

I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know that my husband Chad Ward who attended the Electrical Class in Orlando earlier this month before the exam and he PASSED his ES Sign Specialty test. We just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
He took a course at another school last year and my husband was so frustrated that they could not teach him how to do the calculation problems and that was the only part of the exam he had issues with. He took their class 3 times in 2007 before each of the Electrical exams and could not pass the test. He took the Mike Holt class ONCE in 2008 and passed.
GREAT JOB!

Andrea Ward

John is one of the best instructors I have ever encountered and I have been to allot of courses over my 22 years of electrical training. He is wonderfully entertaining as well as extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the course not to mention him and George have a good relationship with each other that only added to the experience. In the category of money well spent John and the course far exceeded my expectations. Thank You for all you have done for me Sarina. You can bet I will use Mike Holt for all my companies future needs in the education department as well as personal.

The Sarina / John / George / Mike Holt experience has definitely been very positive. Thanks to all very much for your dedication to the learning process and the Electrical industry. John understands what he is teaching, and very professional in his delivery.
Lloyd Welborn / ARS electrical, Charleston S.C.

I have taken the exam 4 times and I feel like this time I did very well compared to previous attempts. I am a specialty contractor and Mike Holt teaches to each contractor as the test is given for that category. JOHN IS AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER! He taught me more in the two hours of calculations than the other school could ever teach me. I took the test 3 times and never was able to figure calculations. Also John taught us how to use the NEC code book (not just how to highlight the book). On the 1 to 10 scale you would rate about a 15. I honestly don't know how you could change your program for the better. I actually feel like I passed this time! and that is the only thing that really matters most. Also your continuing education online is awesome too!

Chad Ward

Sarina,

Hope all is well. Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I passed the March 4th exam finally! The seminar was so helpful that without it, one does not stand a chance. of course the student is only as good as the teacher and John Mills is great. I also took his night classes as Miami Springs senior and I must say he grilled me til I got it. If there was ever a problem or question, John knew it or followed it through. he has encouraged me to continue in my studies as I have already set my sights on other licenses.

Anyway, great work you are doing and I will be in touch regarding some products I need.

Sincerely, Armando Alvarez

Good afternoon,

Could you please tell me what John Mills e-mail address is? I just found out that I passed my electrical exam ! This was my 4th time taking it but my first time taking your class. I really wanted to thank him, his teaching style was very easy to take in, I do not think that with out his and your help I would have ever passed this exam.THANK YOU!

Sarina,

I am on the last day of the prep course for my Unlimited License, and take the technical portion tomorrow. I want you to klnow that this course has been the best course I have taken in many years. John and George go above and beyond what I have expected. I will recommend this to everyone that is thinking of taking any exam, especially the Unlimited EC. I also want to thank you for your dedication to me throughout this process. Everyone at Mike Holt can be proud of what they do for the electrical industry. All the best to you, John, George, and the rest of the staff @ Mike Holt Ent.

Sincerely,

John was excellent. He kept my attention and there were very few times (if any) he deviated from his instruction. He is an asset to Mile Holt. All in all, I would recommend Mike Holt's course to any experienced person that needs to review and refresh. I have been in this industry for 30 years, graduated the JATC, licensed in Maryland, business owner and I STILL am LEARNING........THANK YOU !!!!!

Attention Sarina

I wanted to thank your institution and wonderful staff especially to George and John, for the support given during my classes. I was involved in the specialty signs and I have received news from the state exam and I pass. Thank you very much for everything and I will shortly will get involve into getting the unlimited license. It will be obviously with your school, no doubts about that.

Hope you can show this thankful note to everyone that still want to go another school.

Sincerely

Sarina is one of the most dedicated and fun people to deal with. Kudos for her. John and George did a great job. I admire George for his accomplishments. What can I say about John. He reminds me of a young me.

If you listen carefully you will determine that John loves what he is doing, and is very proud of his accomplishments. His assion for electrical is obvious and he reminded me of why I am in the business.
Harry Krapil

Hello Sarina. If you recall I called you on Friday after the low voltage test to tell you how hard it was. (At least I think it was) I think taking that test had me much more "experienced" for the next one because when I took the business test on Saturday it was pretty easy. I passed that one with no problem.

Pass my thanks on to John for all his help.

Gregg Dixon

Many thanks to John Mills and Jorge Cancio. The EC prep class was great, it would be hard to improve on. Thanks!

Mike Swackhammer

Sarina,

Pass along my thanks to Mike, John and George. I just got the results of my Fl Unlimited Contractors Technical test. I got a 91 on the technical and I only know I got a 75 or better on the business portion. I would not have passed either of these tests without using your home study materials and attending your 6 day seminar. John was informative and entertaining and managed to keep our attention focused during the entire 6 days. I will reccommend your curriculum to every one I want as a competitor.

Thanks again to all for all your help.

John was informative and entertaining and managed to keep our attention focused during the entire 6 days. I will reccommend your curriculum to every one I want as a competitor.

Thanks again to all for all your help.
Marty Rogers

John,

Just thought you would like to know that I passed both parts of my test. Once again I would like to thank you and George for all your help, without
the class and your guidance I don't think I could have passed.

Thank you again

Best Wishes
Patrick Fallon

Mike,

Let me say firstly I passed the unlimited exam first time. I would not been able to do so unless I attended your course last March. I scored 83% and incidentally that was the approximate level I was scoring during the trial exams.

Your course is outstanding. It is one of the best thousand dollars I have ever spent. John Mills did an outstanding and comprehensive job.

Also I have had the good fortune to interact with your organization on several occasions and just today I talked to Sarina Snow who suggested I send you this email. In my humble opinion you have created a world-class, people focused organization of high quality that is very customer centric. I'm sure you're getting the satisfaction of a job well done.

If at any time you need any recommendations I would be more than happy to help.

Again many thanks.
Liam Collins

Hi Sarina! I don't know if you would remember speaking to me or not but earlier this year I had ordered the study materials for the EC exam in March for my husband, Dan. You strongly suggested he attend a seminar because the pass rate for self study wasn't as high. I passed that information onto my husband but stubborn as he is, he was bound to try to pass the exam without the seminar. I am proud to say that after many late nights and tired mornings, my husband was successful in passing the EC exam in March. He really found the study materials extremely helpful and keeps them in the office for reference.

Thank you so much for your assistance in obtaining the materials and for your presence @ Mike Holt's office. My father-in-law, Mike, just finished a seminar in Orlando last weekend and they said they met you and how nice you were. Just thought I'd let you know about my husband's success story.

Thanks again,
Jen Richmond

I just received my official notice from the state that I passed the limited energy exam. This would not have been possible without your efforts and the help from everyone at Mike Holt's company.

Thank you for everything and I look forward to seeing you again at continuing education classes.

Carl Becker 

John,

Just found out that I passed the exam! I made a 99.8! Can''t understand what I could"ve missed. Seriously that was one of the toughest state exams yet. Just wanted to let
you know how much I apprecitate your insights and instruction. Being an instructor myself I know how difficult a seminar of that length is.

Again thanks a million. Wouldn't have done it without the seminar.
Britt Crist 

Sarina,

Thanks for the great and rewarding experience with the Florida unlimited electrical class. I have received the results back on both of my test and have passed on first try. I would not have been able to do so well with out the review and test talking techniques that were taught by an exceptional staff. Thanks again.

Thanks,

Sarina,

Just wanted to mail you to say thank you for steering me in the right direction for my state certified test. I have taken and passed the test and did it on the first try. The results were on the states web site today. No question that you deserve a big hug and a kiss for being such a wonderful lady. Be sure to tell John and George all the good news. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Robert Thompson

Sarina,

I would like to thank John and George for all the help they gave me in passing my unlimited test. Without the class I would not have passed. I took the test in March and failed without the class. Again thanks to the whole Mike Holt Team.

Hi Sarina, the class was great, instructors were also. I passed the business and law exam, still waiting on results from technical part.

Sarina:

Just wanted to let you know that John and George, your instructors for HELL week, were fantastic. John made what could have been an excrutiating week bearable and informative and always kept the classes interesting and funny. They are both very knowledgeable and I enjoyed being in their company for the week. I have passed the business portion of the exam and am still awaiting the results from the technical test. Whatever I scored I believe their help was tantamount to being able to take the test with some degree of confidence. Being a licensed electrical contractor in NJ for 20 years, I forgot, how much I forgot in respect to the code and calculations. Whatever the outcome of the technical test I was totally satisfied with the instruction and believe the money was well spent if you are serious about attaining a state license. I will advise you on the outcome of my test on receipt of notification from the state.

Thank you for all your help.

Sarina, Please you all have done a great job. Every time a problem arose it was handled in a professional manner. Thanks to you and John and George for quite an experience, and for the effort you put forth to help us pass the test.

This email is to thank you Sarina, John, George and all the staff at Mike Holt Enterprises for all the help in taking my electrical contractor test. My name is Wilson Martinez and I passed both tests in only one try thanks to you. Please make sure you tell John and George that Martinez passed the test and that I say to all of you:

"A MILLION THANKS, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST"

P.S.: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Wilson Martinez

The class was great. I wish I could have passed it on the first go around, but I guess I was marking the wrong numbers. I got a 86 this time. But this time I went back and double checked my answers to the answer sheet......... 

Thanks for all the help.
Roberta Plamondon, Res electrical

Hi Sarina,
I can't thank you enough for everything you have done to help me pass my test.

God bless you.

Hi Sarina,

Just wanted to thank you for shipping out your product so quickly. I got off the phone with you @ 3:45 PM on 1-4-06 and the package was on my doorstep @ 6:00 PM on the 5th. That's fast. If this is any indication of how the rest of the organization is run, I can't wait for the review classes.

Thanks again,
Bob Moyer

Sarina,

Thought you would be interested to know i passed my exam. thanks for all your help. When you see john my instructor please pass on my gratitude.

Bob Dring

Dear Mike,

I am writing this letter to say "Thanks". I have been using your products since 2000, when I purchased your complete library. It is now 2006 and I hold approximately 10 Masters Licenses in NY and the outlying areas, including Connecticut State, and now most likely Florida State Certified Unlimited Electrical. I sat for the exam yesterday after completing your 6-day prep course with John and George. The class and the instructors were great, and even though I don't officially know if I passed, I think I "KILLED" that exam. I am taking Rockland County (the last county in NY that I don't have) next Friday and New Jersey in July. Needless to say I have complete confidence for these upcoming exams.

I couldn't have done it without your help.

Thanks again for everything,
Rob

I'm writing to tell you what great products and a great team you have. When I took Florida this month, I felt good when I walked out of the test center, but you are always on pins and needles until you get your results. I just found out today that I passed, thanks to my hard work and your great products and staff.

I took the prep class with John and George and it was a tremendous help. John is without a doubt the most unique and dynamic Code instructor that I have ever had. His delivery and "in your face" attitude was both entertaining and informative and I'm sure that I retained most, if not all, that he said. George's help with the Florida Contractors Manual and his vast experience and knowledge was a great help as well.

Thanks also to Sarina for her help in sending me tapes and books in quick fashion and her references to help me complete the application process.

Lastly, but certainly not least, thanks to you, Mike, for all you do to further education in our trade. God bless you and yours.

Brad Darnel

Sarina, just wanted to say thanks ( I passed my EF ). I wanted to pass along some information to Mike. The training, regardless of how painful it is, I attended in Kissimmee prior to my test was the best thing I could have done. John M and George really brought a new level of teaching to the game. They keep valuable information coming at you the entire week, but they way it is delivered (teaching methods) really locks it into your memory, which allows you to be able to answer about half of the questions on the test with out having to cruise through 5 different books. I just wanted you guys to know what a good job they did, and that I would recommend your classes to anyone attempting to pass a state exam.

Thanks again

John/George,

This is Amiee from your March 1-6 class...I wanted to let you know that I passed! I got a 99 on the exam ;) The time flew by and I had to guess on about 12 questions but C was the favorite answer! I think if people had more time, then more of them would pass.

I took the Business Exam and passed that as well, I guess I am now certifiable!

Sorry I won't see you in the next class but at least you know I passed!
Amiee Rukes

Hi Sarina - I am just getting home after a very long day, but did not want to go to bed without telling you how much I appreciate all the time you gave me in your office today.

How grateful am I that I stopped by to pick up books rather than have them mailed? Very!!! I felt like I had won the lottery when you began giving me resources and telling me stories. I can not thank you enough for all you did today! Really, I just felt like I was in the office of an "Angel".

George and I will talk again in the morning and then I will contact Marie. I will let you know how it all turns out.

You guys ROCK at Mike Holt!

Thank you so much.

Sarina: Hi, this is Luis Ruiz one of the many students you helped pass a master test.
Thank You, Very Much for every effort to help me find the information and
books that I needed to successfully pass the master electrical test.

Luis Ruiz 

Sarina,

I would like to thank you for your guidance and valuable information that you have shared with me on passing the Florida EC exam on my first attempt.When I first started this endeavor I thought "how hard could this be" well lets just say I was surprised.Your advise is something that I will always remember,when I called about two months before the exam the first thing you said was o'boy we do not have much time,at that point the panic started.However you took control and laid out a plan that worked.I purchased the in home study guide and videos than went to work just as you said.Also I can not say enough about the seminar, I owe allot to John he kept things going and interesting. His teaching and understanding of what we were going thru is amazing.I have taken several instructional coarse throughout the years but not one did I walk away with as much confidence as I did after that final day with John,so please pass along my gratitude to him.
In closing I truly appreciate all the help and support I have received from all of you. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know.

Ray Burns

Received letter today from DPBR passed the July 6 Exam with 82 or as John Mills says a "99". It took me from Nov. to this July to become familiar with all the reference books and how to use them. I know I was unrealistic in believing that the "crash" course would allow me to bypass this requirement. Why? Because at my age 73, but 74 on Oct. 6, 2006 , I don't have a lot of time left to waste studying. Actually, if I can raise some funds I intend to rebuild my Electric Vehicle (now rusted out) and maybe in three years build as many as 200 per year.

Bill McGill

SARINA !!!! SHE IS THE BEST. YOU HAVE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.

Dear Mike - I stopped by your office to pick up a Home Study Book Progaram. That was all i wanted ... just pick up my books and leave. I am a busy contractor and don't like to wait around. Freddy insisted I speak with Sarina who had an appointment in her office. So i waited and waited and waited. And boy am i glad that I waited! Sarina took me in her office and started asking me questions about why i was wanted to take the exam and if i had questions or needed help. I was able to tell her i had NO IDEA what i was doing. She answered my questions, helped me and suggested excellent additional resources. I am a woman with management experience, not your typical work in the field and work your way up under "qualified" companies contractor. I needed Divine direction to get my application through and I knew it. I could have cried I was so overwhelmed that this Woman spent time with me, shared her knowledge and gave me such excellent resources. For 2 LONG YEARS I tried to figure out how I would qualify to take the exam and then how i would pass it. Ironically, the morning before meeting Sarina, I prayed. I knew i needed miracles if i was going to meet this challenge. WOW I did not expect them in the form of Freddy and Sarina. Sarina's kindness, knowledge and generousity left me speechless. I love sharing this story of hope and how God shows up in the most unexpected places. He is always there to help us - when we ask of him.
Thank you for being such a great support to our Industry. A very satisfied client!

Hello John,

I wanted to thank you for the energy and attention to detail that you commanded in our unlimited electrical exam preparation last month. When I finished the exam I wasn't sure I had passed, but knew that if I hadn't, that I would after November's class. I'm happy to report that I passed both portions and will submit my certified application soon.

If you remember, I hadn't even purchased the text books until Friday afternoon. Without your plan, I wouldn't have passed either portion. It would be safe to say that I might've gotten a 0% or 15% on the Business and Law as I hadn't seen any of it before our course.

You deserve much credit and I want you to know that I hope Mike takes good care of you. I'm a very satisfied customer and the time and money were the best investments I've made in my company. It was a great week.

I hope to try the G. C. exam that you reccomended soon.

Mike is the guru, and you're a great drill instructor. Don't change a thing!

Thanks sincerely

Sarina:
Thanks again for everything.

It took some time but after speaking to ten different people the state has finally fixed their mistake. My application was approved in June yet some how I was removed from the list. No one in the state seems to understand how it happened. I have my thoughts. Any way, they finally contacted me yesterday and not only mailed the admission slip, they faxed me copy in case anything should go wrong.

Again, thank you so much for your help and supplying me the proper number and person to call to get this issue straightened out. My application to the ADA was also accepted and I am getting 2.5 more hours and a private room to take the test. What a deal. Guess being handicapped has its privileges.

You have been a great help and I thank you again for being more than just a business. You definitely have proved that your companies objective is to fully assist the applicants and not just fill a class.

Mike,
I read this article and just had to drop a note. If you think the books are great, try the exam prep course with John as well. I took the course last fall after a few months of basic study and felt well prepared for the exam. When I actually took the test, I was amazed. It was almost like John had read the test and prepared the class just for that test. I completed both sections of the State EC long before the required time limit
and had plenty of time to proof my answers prior to submitting my sheets. When the results came in a 91% was my reward. I can't says thanks enough for all of the hard, professional work that goes into your material. Tell John thanks and feel free to use this letter how you like.

Thanks a Million,
Daniel B House

 Hi Sarina,

The state's website says I passed the exam for Alarm One at the 08 July '03 sitting, an event that took place with powerful help from you, all of your coworkers and Mike and also a half-dozen people in Tallahassee. The DBPR applications process went bad, real bad and I engaged 2 of 3 branches of government and was considering the possibility of the 3rd, my phone/Email list suddenly became most,uh, efficient.

My test bore almost no resemblance to the highlighting and practice exams, but the course, your help, encouragement and confidence, my instructors and Mike, as individuals exceeded the sum of the the parts. The exam was "like three rounds with a middleweight". It appears coaching played the major part of things and the first Email among a dozen is to you.

Thanks for all your help. Please send John's Email address so I can write him about a watch.

4 feet off the floor, Jim Robinson

Gentlemen,

Could not be happier to tell you that I passed the Test as well as my other two friends from Hypower. Again, thank you for that week in "hell". It paid off.

Once again, thank you for your time and for teaching and training us during the last week. If you ask me, I think your "boot camp" paid off. I have a good feeling that I passed because I was able to find most answers. I am hoping I bubble them right. We had a little bit of everything. There were three problems about relays, no load calc, no range and two questions from the Contractor's Manual in the morning. The afternoon part was pretty much straight forward.

On another note, guess what? The guy sitting next to me had one book: the NEC. At least he knew who Mike Holt was because he had Mike Holt's Exam Prep Book and the NEC Changes but he was told to put them away. You will probably see him in July.

Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Hey John, remember me, Emmett Jarvis, the guy in the middle of class that never spoke, really didn't have many questions. Thanks for the great review of material, I scored a 91% on the State Exam. Now comes the next million page application. Just thought a 91% would give you some class fodder.

Thanks again, 
Emmett Jarvis
