"I recommend reading through your modules prior to attending to prepare for an intense week of study. You must attend the academy with a mindset of studying hard and absorbing a lot of information (this is not a week of vacation), but if you want to pass the exam the first time and avoid months of studying on your own time without a real focus on what's important, there is no better way to do it than attending the class."- Bob Swensen, C.M., Airport Operations/Project Manager, Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Int'l Airport
