Below is a list and descriptions of the sessions that MBA Educational Horizons offers regarding Seminars, Workshops & Tutoring. The speaker, Mr. Boardway is a practicing licensed Architect and keeps up to date with all exam material as well as the challenges of the practicing professionals. MBA has the practical experience for offering these sessions, unlike other organizations that ask engineers and individuals to volunteer their time to offer these subjects and not have a idea of what the candidate is being tested on, or what the professional needs to go through on a daily basis. Also please note the maximum candidates allowed in each seminar will be 15 and the maximum in the workshops will be 10 candidates. Sessions fill fast, please register early, no registration is allowed at the door since download material needs to be printed off by the individual and brought with them to the sessions. Thank you.
