Terrible overall experience! The worst part was the unhelpful and inconsiderate instructor/owner (Jim Edwards). While at the ABRC Property and Casualty seminar, when I tried to ask questions and relate overlapping concepts from my previous seminar, training and learning from Dorhn, Jim was dismissive of my question. He then preceded to defame Dorhn Insurance and told me Dorhn gives out wrong information and did so in a dismissive way. By the time all this happened, he effectively embarrassed me in front of the class an alienated me in front of the class and did not get to my question. I understand there is a lot of material to cover in a 2 day insurance seminar and you can't go down the rabbit hole with questions too much but, Jim is a just a grouchy old man who is set in his ways and doesn't value other peoples input and just wants them to sit down and shut up so he can get through his lecture. Not a good teacher. Also, his materials are archaic and in need of improvement. The textbook given requires the student to fill out a large amount of pertinent information for the test that the student has to get from a 1980's style projector. There is no online practice tests with feedback. Instead of that, you are required to fill out tests that look like standardized SAT test's. This is much slower and inefficient for picking up information in comparison to an online learning center. When the seminar was over and I had a chance to talk to Jim and tried to tell him about my complains, he tuned me out and didn't listen, bared me from further attending his courses, and said he would be telling on me to my agent for interrupting his class. Terrible professionalism and customer service skills. I am not happy with ABRC and will be telling everyone I know not to use them!
