A review of our feedback section reveals that though offline classes offer interaction with faculty and clearing the doubts, candidates are still unable to clear the exams with a good score.

Typically, in offline classes, candidates are given a Test on a single subject. Their capability is not judged since they are not made to take up tests on all TOPICS at a time. This limits their ability to practice as well as crack exams successfully. However, BReTS’ online course differs from most of the offline courses in that it helps candidates practice managing time while taking Tests on all the topics in a single MOCK TEST.

  • One can attend the classes 24 x 7 via internet any time anywhere in the world.
  • No need to travel to the class room, hence savings of cost, time and energy.
  • Unlike classroom-based training, online courses can be undertaken more than once without additional charge (usually an unlimited number of times within a certain period of time), meaning that any information that was missed during the first review can be found by simply going back and re-doing the online course. With conventional training, the only way a person can go back over something they've missed is to pay the course fee again and re-do the whole course!
