I attended in the evenings for 3 months while working a full-time job during the day. I passed school and state exams the first time. The teachers were former or current brokers and it made for interesting and sometimes frustrating training experiences. There were some who made learning fun and easy to understand and others that either spent more time talking about themselves, or rambling on things I later learned had no bearing on test. I still highly recommend them but would advise that you thoroughly read each chapter before class and although note taking is helpful to memory for some, don't stress if you don't catch it all---your study guide and chapter tests cover everything you need.
