Besides reviewing exam topics, we gear our PE-Environmental Refresher Course to help you pass the exam.  With example problems and solutions presented by one of our subject matter experts (Frederick Pontius), we prepare you for the Morning Breadth Session of the PE-Environmental State Board Exam, which consists of 100 multiple-choice questions in 12 topic areas.  Our Refresher Course includes the standardized 6-topic areas: Water Resources, Drinking Water, Wastewater, Air Resources, Solid & Hazardous Waste, Environmental Health & Safety, and a final review.  See the back of this flyer for a full breakdown of the schedule covering all 6 topics.   Why Should I Take This Course? Do you want to pass the PE-Environmental State Board Exam?  It seems like a simple question, and all other reference materials will help.  However, being in an interactive classroom, solving problems, and asking questions, is far more effective than merely studying on your own.  As well as providing additional problem/solution practice, we supply a committed setting for developing professional relationships with other qualified students, which in-turn creates study groups for even further comprehension.  Overall, our students gain a deeper understanding of the type of questions presented on the State Board Exam.  Furthermore, almost all of our students pass the PE-Environmental exam after taking our refresher course.  Then again, just in case you need to try another time, we offer our “Repeat Refresher Students” a $100 discount on any future refresher course enrollments, or a $50 per topic session “Al A Carte” discount, or activation of the course On-line Blackboard Shell for only $200.  Better yet, we even offer a 15% discount on any of the Professional Publications, Inc. study materials through the following link: http://ppi2pass.com/ppi/PPIShop?psp=DI174   Where And When Do I Attend Class?
