The way the questions were written are not correct where it seems more than one answer were required than just one answer. The fundamentals document did not provide adequate information when making the test at all.

Excellent Course! I had a prestressed/post-tensioned concrete class back in college - 31years ago and haven't touched it since. I work in the petrochemical industry so almost all of our structures are steel or conventional cast in place concrete. Great refresher. Thanks for your effort putting this together.

A great course, takes concentration, but a great review for someone who has been away from tensioned steel for a number of years.

I have no prior experience or training with pre-stressed / post-tensioned concrete design, but was interested because this is a topic I've heard about more often the past few years. thought the course was well laid out and covered information that I was hoping to gain a better understanding of.

Great course that remains technical. However, with no experience in post-tension design, some of the questions were very difficult to answer; especially for Part One of Three.

Confusing, unclear, extremely complicated, more so than it has to be. The intent of the course is to learn not to try to guess what the instruction is trying to say or get at and then try to answer questions that are unclear and confusing. This course could have been very helpful to those that need a basic understanding of the concepts but was too overwhelming for the simple minded engineer.

This was the first of a three-part course, and my first time ordering a course through SunCam. The amount of material covered exceeded my expectations. Some courses (from other continuing education providers) tend to provide little, if any useful information. Well done. I look forward to the next one.

This course presented the fundamentals of post-tensioning in a very clear and concise format. I followed ACI 318 as I progressed through the material and found it to be easily understood. The availability of Mr. Miller to answer several questions was very helpful. A possible improvement would be to cite the ACI equation numbers in the text next to the equations to help tie the course work and ACI 318 together. I thought the test was fair, yet thorough enough to document learning. I will be studying Part Two next to further my knowledge of post-tensioning.
Good course.

Very informative
Overall this course was very informative and will make you want to move on to parts 2 and 3. The test is not a quick review. It will make you think.

Very good material and well explained. Agree with some reviewers that some questions are too elaborated; suggest being more straight forward and comprehensive. Another suggestion: Vn and Mn are correctly referred to as nominal shear and flexural strength throughout the material; however, when multiply by the strength reduction factor (phi) they cannot longer be "nominal", rather they become "design" or "resisting" strengths. Thanks.

Excellent In-depth coverage
The course material and the examples were thorough, yet basic enough that someone new to pre-stress would be able to follow the progression of the material. I do however, think one of the test questions was misworded. For #8 the question should ask about "Hyperstatic forces" not "Hyperstatic moments".

I tought prestressed concrete in graduate schools and was chief engineer East of T. Y. Lin & Assoc., but I had difficult time understanding some of the questions.
Mr. Dunn of SunCam was highly professional, knowledgeable and helpful, and I sincerely appreciated his assistance. I will recommend all my colleagues to use Sun Cam for future tests where applicable. I certainly will in the future. Thank you, Mr. Dunn. You are great!!

The course is very helpful to refresh the post-tension design concepts. But the questions are not clear and those are not totally related to the text. Please change the wording of the questions.
The challenge question at this review is a tricky point of evaluation. I give three stars at this course.
