Customer Testimonials
I had trouble signing up to take the test and had to call in for guidance to sort out why I was not getting registered. This was more time consuming than I had anticipated. The phone assistance was most helpful and patient and supportive, however.
I like this opportunity to earn CE credit while learning new things. The test questions help to guide learning of what is important.
Keep up the good work. I will return to PDR for CE courses.
Enjoyed the articles and found them helpful.
Especially liked the article by LT Nnamdi G. Ohaeri; having been a Navy Clinical Psychologist assigned to both the USS Carl Vinson & USS Constellation (both Aircraft Carriers), LT Ohaeri's article brought back several positive memories of my time stationed on both of these Navy war ships! Thank you!
