Testimonials and Reviews

“All of us that are preparing for promotional exams know the very first day whether or not they made the right decision in choosing their Promotional Preparation course and at the end of that first day, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing ESPOS Test Prep.  Ed and Nick, NOT Captain Esposito or Captain Breiner because they were so down to earth and made you feel extremely comfortable in class and when asking questions.  Their knowledge on all the testable information was top notch but also on how to apply it on test day was second to none.  With this being my third promotional exam (Captain), I can honestly say I have never felt more prepared for the written exam.

As confident as I was for the written exam, I was even more prepared and confident for the oral presentation because with ESPOS, you practice like it is test day and I believe that was absolutely crucial in scoring as well as I did.  Thank you to Ed, Nick, Joe, Mike and Sean for all your insight in helping me achieve my goal of coming out #1.  If you are serious about getting promoted then why not be serious about your study group, choose ESPOS Test Prep. It is a decision you won’t regret!”

 “Thank you to Captain Esposito and the staff at ESPOS Test Prep. When preparing for a promotional exam, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by what feels like an endless amount of source material. After attending my first day of class, I knew I made the right decision in choosing ESPOS. The structure of the lectures and study materials were essential to becoming fully prepared both content-wise and mentally. The instructors, Captain Esposito and Captain Breiner, are highly motivated and were committed to getting the class ready for test day. It’s no surprise that the top scoring candidates from our last three promotional exams (Chief, Captain & LT) have come from ESPOS. They have built a reputation for results, and I would recommend their courses to anyone testing. Thanks again- I’ll be back for Captain.”

#1 Verona Police Lieutenant (2019)
"I am so glad I chose to prepare for the 2019 Civil Service Lieutenant’s Exam with ESPOS Test Prep! Their instruction was on point, to say the least. Every topic was covered in depth and exceptionally thoroughly. The instructors (Capt. Esposito and Capt. Breiner) were INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and always professional. I genuinely enjoyed attending each class because of the relaxed environment they created. Also, their online learning center allowed me to study at all hours and get immediate feedback where I needed improvement. I listened to the AG Audio library regularly and that proved to be a helpful tool as well. More than anything, with their help I felt prepared to take the exam!"

“I want to thank Captain Ed Esposito, and the rest of the professional staff of ESPOS Test Prep for helping me to achieve my goal of Police Captain. ESPOS provided a professional and knowledgeable teaching environment that made me feel comfortable every class. I felt prepared for both my written and oral exam. I cannot say enough about the lengths the whole ESPOS team (Ed, Nick, Joe and Mike) went to ensure my success. I highly recommend this group for any law enforcement promotional exam.”

#2 Orange Police Captain (2019)
“ESPOS Test Prep is the ONLY way to go for any serious candidate looking to come out at the top of their promotional candidate testing cycle. Captain Esposito and his cadre of Law Enforcement Executive Instructors prepare their students starting from day one with the skills, knowledge, materials, and classroom experience and setting that simulate the exact test-day experience their students will face on exam day. 

I have taken other promotional test preparation courses for other ranks and succeeded in getting promoted each time, but I knew after talking with Captain Esposito for the first time, that ESPOS Test Prep was the test preparation course I needed to have the edge over my competition to come out number one for the rank of Deputy Chief.  There is no doubt that the experience, one on one preparation, and material that ESPOS Test Prep provided me was the difference that helped me to succeed in being the #1 Scoring Candidate in the State for my testing cycle at the rank of Deputy Chief of Police. 
​
Thank you Captain Esposito and the superb instructional staff at ESPOS Test Prep in helping to make me #1 and achieving my fullest potential!”

#1 Middletown Twp. Police Deputy Chief (2019 Winter)
HIGHEST Score Statewide!
“I was apprehensive about my first Deputy Chief’s exam this winter – the oral format combined with my single year of seniority as a Captain and some stiff competition had me rattled. I had never taken ESPOS before, but they came highly recommended. Ed spent over an hour on the phone with me on a summer night explaining the senior level exam and what to expect, before I even committed to his course!  That level of dedication really sealed the deal when deciding to take ESPOS over other prep courses – a decision with which I couldn’t be happier!

Ed and his team were fantastic and did a great job of not only preparing me for the exam knowledge wise, but mentally as well. The simulated test sessions and the advice of every single instructor combined to make ESPOS a great experience. I found myself going into the exam itself fully prepared, well informed about the format and how to properly answer the questions, which led to my score of 94.34…over 8 points higher than my competition.
​
I can’t thank Ed and his team enough, and wholeheartedly recommend ESPOS Test Prep for any rank, but especially for the senior level exams!”

"I can’t thank you and your staff enough for providing the structure and material for me to succeed. ESPOS instructors broke the material down logically and provided great advice on which topics to concentrate on. It’s extremely difficult to block out study time while juggling family life. The ESPOS Test Prep course helped me schedule the necessary study time. The online material was also very helpful to be able to access anywhere. After taking the ESPOS course, I felt well prepared and confident going into the promotional exam, even with the “wildcard” of having a new test format with essays. I highly recommend ESPOS Test Prep to anyone serious about testing. I could not imagine achieving the highest score in the state without the support of your team. They genuinely take a personal interest in their student’s success.”

#1 Aberdeen Police Deputy Chief (2019 Summer)
"I wanted to take a moment to thank the staff of ESPOS for providing me with the necessary tools to successfully pass my recent promotional exam for the rank of Deputy Chief of Police.  I couldn’t be more pleased with my results and the professionalism displayed by all the instructors.  From the time I made my initial inquiry to attend the prep course to the final oral prep class and even follow up guidance after, Ed took the time to explain, outline the training and provide valuable insight in preparation for my exam.
​
The books and other reference material that were provided as part of the course are unmatched by any other prep course.  The instructors during the classroom portion of the course were able to breakdown the material in such a way that it made it much easier to study the material. The online training and the digital version of the Law Enforcement Handbooks provided easy access to additional study material.

I would especially like to extend my sincere gratitude to Ed, Nick, Joe and Mike all of which provided me with one-on-one instruction for the oral prep portion of the course.   This portion of the course proved to be the most valuable to me as it provided a real test like setting with valuable instructor feedback and scoring consistent with how the Civil Service Commission conducts their exams.  All the score sheets and video recordings of the oral tests are easily accessed online for self-evaluation and critiques.  I would most definitely choose this course in the future and would recommend it to anyone preparing for a promotional exam.  I would also recommend ESPOS to anyone wanting to update their knowledge and better prepare them for their law enforcement career."

2019 Entry-Level Police Exam (2019)
“I wanted to write to express my gratitude to you and the other instructors at ESPOS for your hard work, your dedication to the learning process and your knowledge and expertise in the police promotional test prep field.  I've taken several promotional exams and for the most part the material does not change much. However, it is very important in the test realm to make sure to have the most recent and current information at your hands.  You and the instructors at ESPOS certainly made sure that every single one of the candidates had all the information and test material to succeed through the process.  I was impressed with the online component of ESPOS which tracked course progress on the online dashboard.  I would like to express special appreciation to your instructors. 

As a Lieutenant testing for the rank of Captain I had to contend with an oral component after the written exam.  Where I equate a written exam to more of a science, I compare the oral component to more of an art.  Your instructors used their own unique brushes to paint a picture of what a successful oral presentation should look and sound like.  At the same time, they identified areas of strength to highlight and areas of weakness to improve on.  This combination of encouragement along with constructive critique was invaluable to my success. 

Please extend my gratitude specifically to Deputy Chief Sean Schwindt, Captain Nick Briener and Captain Joe Hefferon as they were the instructors who evaluated me and provided their insight through the oral prep.  Once again, THANK YOU all for a great course!  To say that it was well worth the time and money would be an understatement!  Be Well!”

“I wanted to say a quick thank you to you and all your instructors.  Thank you for the breaking down of thousands of pages of testable material and for teaching me how to study for the Lieutenant’s Promotional Exam. Your info sharing and test taking preparation guided me to achieve my goal. I attended your classes; I followed your study plan, and I completed your quizzes. On test day, I found it easy to determine which answer choices were absolutely wrong and my first-choice answers where my final answers. I finished the exam and had enough time to review my test twice. I appreciate for all the help and for everything you and your team did for me. I’m 100 % confident that I will be returning to your study group for my next promotional exam preparation!”

"I wanted to express to you and your group, the sincere gratitude that I have for the group of men that worked with myself and the rest of the students in your weekly studies. You guys not only took the time and effort to teach us as a team, but I spoke to you and your instructors on more than one occasion on scenarios and questions that I had after class. Your guys took the time, effort and patience to go over everything in length...and it was heartfelt every time.

I have heard people say in the past, as this is my second rank and study group, that the classes are good. Well I am here to reaffirm that they are not only good, they are exceptional. I also want to acknowledge that you provide not only the tools, but the motivation to take those tools and apply them. We had about a dozen guys from out department take the exam for Lieutenant....only three of us took your group....and guess what...we all came out...#1, #2 and #3. Enough said!

“The higher up you go in rank the tougher your competition gets, so when it came time to study for the Captain's Exam, I knew I had to go the extra mile.  After researching several study groups, I knew the choice was clear and it was ESPOS.  I was familiar with some of the instructors and knew ESPOS had assembled an All-Star team.  The course materials were comprehensive, and all included.  The in-class lectures were well thought out and organized.  The instructors made the material as interesting as possible and Nick may even have a stand-up comedy career somewhere in his future.  Lastly, the oral exam prep was second to none.  My previous test scores (Sergeant and Lieutenant) were in the mid to upper 80s, but with ESPOS I was able to achieve a score of 93.86.  Big thanks to the entire ESPOS team, especially Ed, Nick and Sean.”

The online library material is outstanding and the Arrest, Search and Seizure manual you provide is immeasurable in its worth as a study tool and guide. Where your program pulls away from the other study groups, and leaves them nowhere in sight, is your oral board preparation.

#1 Pohatcong Township Police Chief (2017 Winter) 
"ESPOS Test Prep played an integral part in my preparation and ultimate success of not only coming out #1 for LT in my agency, but the #1 score in the state.  As one of the first testing groups to experience an all essay exam, I had no idea what to expect.  Not only was ESPOS Test Prep spot on in their instruction and guidance, they provided me the tools and mindset needed to attack the preparation process."

“Unlike other prep courses that give you hours of instruction on useless information, ESPOS Test Prep provided me with the necessary material that was actually on the exam. The information was presented in a manner that was easily understood. The instructors also provided study tips and showed how to maximize my studying time, all which proved invaluable.”

"Thank you for all of the help. Without your classes I would not have scored as high as I did.

Your breakdown of the management book and test taking strategies helped me out the most."

"The study materials and practice tests really helped me to focus on the key points and not get bogged down in tangential information.  Your analysis of what Civil Service might be looking for this time around was on the money in every way."

#1 Husdon County Sheriff's Lieutenant (2017) 
“ESPOS Test Prep was the best choice for me!  Preparing for a promotional exam can be very stressful.  The amount of material required to study is overwhelming.   ESPOS Test Prep course instructors, binders, and exams, simplify the material by dissecting and highlighting what their experts believe are most important.  Because of this, I was more focused and less stressed.  Thank you for helping me exceed my goal by ranking #2!”

#2 Essex County Sheriff's Sergeant (2017)  
"I took your 2017 Sheriff Lt. Exam Prep and couldn’t have been happier.  Your instructors geared everything specifically towards the Sheriff Promotional Test.  Lots of other prep classes focus on both Police and Sheriff together.  Your course, however was geared directly towards the Sheriff side.  The Instructors were professional, prepared and knowledgeable.  They presented the course material in depth and gave useful study habits, complete with take home materials and tests.  You guys are the best!"
