I just received word 3 of 5 people recently passed the
lab from one of Narbik's Bootcamps. 2 of whom were
1st timers.
Now that does not mean that a person does not use
other resources either. But it is a very nice to see
that he's doing a pretty good job of getting some
facts across.
Sometimes people bond with some instructors better
than others.
On this list there are many great instructors.
