[Spider_Video_Player id=”3″] As of today the results of my survey indicate that 81% of you would like to see all of the chapters from the TDMM included in my a la carte selection of review courses. So, over the next couple of weeks, I”ll be making announcements concerning the addition of the remaining core chapters […]
Registrations for the RCDD review courses have exceeded my expectations, but I have been asked when I will add the remainder of the chapters in the TDMM. I will admit that surprised me since I felt it was most effective to concentrate on the five chapters I’ve already released. I’d like to know what you […]

Our approach to teaching is to provide (ILO) instructor led online courses that are based on the principals of problem based learning.

The NEC identifies us as Communications in Section 800, the Master Format has us defined as Communications in Division 27. BICSI used to refer […]
Last week at the BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando, Fl., the Board of Directors presented each Past President with their own unique logo. The number to the right indicates their position in the line of BICSI Presidents. I was President 1990-1991 making me the 10th President and reminiscing, I remember that we had around 1600 […]
Last December, I had the privilege of teaching a DD102 class to the Korea Radio Promotion Association (RAPA) in Seoul South Korea.
