Re Amber Book Review for the 5.0 Bundle

June 13, 2017 00:40

Hello Everyone,

I couple weeks back I purchased Amber Book Seminar. It is a series of videos that its supposed to cover PPD, PDD, and PA. The seminar video set is approx $700 its very pricey but, I'm willing to invest in good materials that can help me study for these new exams. It turns out that after you purchase the material all the videos are not for 5.0, its for the 4.0 exams, when I emailed them to ask why does everything says 4.0 and the names of the 4.0 exams they replied back saying well the contents are the same so you just need to learn the concepts so you will pass. It covers Masonry,Electricity, Steel, Plumbing,thermal, roofing and SPD, the materials and quality of videos are pretty good. However its definitely misleading when they tell you to watch all videos and go take the exam. So please make your choice wisely.

I also bought the Amber Seminar. They are exactly as Bruno described, a compilation set up for the 4.0. I took notes while watching the videos and wrote flashcards from those notes. Occasionally, if I didn't understand something completely I looked it up elsewhere but otherwise I did no other studying. I took the PPD immediately after watching them and passed!

I am now studying the notes and the flashcards for the PDD. I wish I had taken the two exams within days of each other rather than 2 weeks apart because I would have better retention of the videos.

One thing to be clear on is that the goal of the video series is for you to have enough knowledge to pass, not to teach the answers to every question. I'm crossing my fingers for the PDD but what he says about the videos worked for me for the PPD.

For PPD and PDD did you focus on certain amber videos or did you do the whole bundle?

The free video's Amber offers are really well done. How did you find the whole seminar? Was it worth the money?

Hi all,

The PDD was my last exam and I passed it shortly after posting the comment above. For me, the Amber videos were totally worth the money. I am an interactive learner and the videos kept me engaged. I learned a lot from them very quickly and easily. Good luck to you all.
