Series 16 classes are one-on-one learning environments that are based around the needs of the student. Because you work alone with the instructor for your Series 16 prep course, your learning goals dictate how you spend your time. In a Series 16 Prep class, you are able to learn in ways that fit your learning style. By focusing your learning according to your learning style, Series 16 prep courses help you to retain information better. As the only person in your 16 prep class, you don't have to spend time learning material that is already familiar to you, but rather you can spend your time on material that is most important for you to improve.
