EET Seismic or Hiner?

[SummerScene]

I know this topic has somewhat of its own thread however I wanted to ask this question in a more specific context.

For those who have taken both EET and Hiner, I am debating on which to take. I passed the October 2015 exam first attempt and my success was mostly due to Nazrul's EET depth class. I took the EET 8-hour review class and enjoyed it, but I enjoyed mostly Nazrul's lectures (water/env depth + soils) as his notes were put together very well, organized, clear, and he has the best formula sheets of all. I honestly did not find the other breadth notes easy to use or understandable when self-studying, but the instructors were still kind enough to respond to emails quickly and thoroughly. I struggled very much during EET's construction and structural portions, even in the end, I still didn't have a clear understanding of the material.

Would you recommend EET-Seismic or Hiner Seismic if I'm looking for an instructor similar to Nazrul's class+material?

SS, Dr. Ibrahim teaches the CA-Seismic course and you have my personal recommendation for his course and him as an instructor.  I truly believe you will not be disappointed with the EET Seismic course.  I think you'll find that he is a very nice guy and a very effective teacher.  If you have any questions about his class, I would urge you to call him or e-mail him ahead of time if you'd like.

ptatohed, how was his class in terms of lecture, material, workload? How was your experience?

I took hiner, but not EET. Hiner's webinar and book is on point. I studied a lot for this exam due to it being a brand new subject for me, but Hiners materials were great. Everything was there and his book  (and some codes) were all I needed on the exam. Great reference! I highly recommend his course (along with a lot of studying!!).
