Let me just say that I used Yaeger for FAR and AUD and am still awaiting results for those two tests, but I’m very happy with their HomeStudy courses. Phil and Cindy both did an excellent job with the FAR material and I was very happy with the way Gary taught AUD. But now, I’m watching Phil on the REG HomeStudy videos and I’m almost finished, but I must say, he’s terrible. 80% of the time, he’s basically just reading from the book and handouts. He was ok on some of the tax stuff, but now I’m watching the Law videos and he’s just reading his handouts word for word with little to no elaboration. He does mention in his videos that people complain about this, but he makes an excuse that he has to read something to us. That’s not particularly true because he can explain the topics in his own words without having to read so much. Gary Bulmash is a great example of a good instructor that can teach without reading too much. Yes, he’s not the most exciting instructor, but he doesn’t read from the textbook word for word. He explains everything in his own words. If anything, he may read just a sentence or two, but most of the time, he’s explaining things in his own words. But with Phil, all he does is read word for word from the book. Sometimes, he’ll elaborate after he reads, but other times, he’ll just read and say “Please remember that” and that’s it! No elaboration. Not to mention that he really moves through the material at a ridiculously fast pace, which really doesn’t give your brain enough time to absorb all the content.
Please keep in mind that I like Yaeger a lot. They’re the main reasons why I felt more prepared than ever when taking the FAR and AUD exam. But REG is just a major disappointment.
So, is it just me that feels this way?
