What Our Law Enforcement Clients Are Saying…
Andy, I took your promotion course at your home earlier this year to help me prepare for my department’s lieutenant promotional process. Your insight made a huge impact as I got a 95 on my oral board and was announced as my department’s newest lieutenant! Thanks for your Help!
Andy, I was recently promoted to sergeant and doing well. I would not have made it without your oral interview preparation course. I’ll recommend you to anyone!!!! Thanks again
Hi Captain, Thanks for a great class! I got several takeaways that I can incorporate immediately into my preparation for the next oral board process. I’d be interested in any other Lieutenant materials you are able to send my way, so I can “crush it” the next time.
Captain – You’re like a rabbit’s foot. Lt. promotion is effective Oct 1st. Thanks again for the second time.
Good afternoon Sir!!! As of August 2019 this is my new role (Sergeant)!!! Funny story after attending your class I was prepared for whatever the interview and process was going to be. When the position came open I was the only applicant, I would like to think that my preparation and readiness scared everybody off ha ha!!! Well wither way I wanted to thank you for the information and confidence that your class afforded me and has continued to help in my progress. I already have people that are wanting to go to your course in order to learn and grow. Thank you for showing us what was already there and giving me the confidence to not be afraid to go for it!!!!!
Good Morning Sir,
My name is……..I was a student of yours not too long ago studying for the……..Police Department Sergeant’s exam. I wanted to let you know that I was successful. Out of 21 applicants, I was the only patrol officer and only female to promote. I took 5th overall.
I couldn’t have done it without you and wanted to let you know how truly thankful I am for taking the time to share your words of wisdom!
Have a great day!
Thank you Andy! I really appreciated the seminar/course and the attachments. Thank you for the hospitality (and pizza). This was not only an interview prep. course, but also an awesome leadership course. It’s too bad I never had a chance to work for an awesome leader like you. I did not mind being at your house for 10 hours. You’re right. You kept your word and said I would not be disappointed. This was within the top 10 courses I have taken in my entire career. The course was well worth the price. I feel a lot more confident. I will be calling you this week for the resume review.
Again, I greatly appreciate you

Hi Andy,
I wanted to follow up with you and let you know I got promoted! Thanks for everything, your course and the materials you provided were absolute gold and resulted in me achieving the top score on all phases of the process. Thanks again!
Former Lieutenant, Now Captain
Hello Sir, I wanted to thank you again for the very intense, informative, coaching and instruction. I had my oral in May and I came out #3 on the list! I scored the highest on the oral portion of the testing process thanks to you! I have my Chief’s interview this Thursday. Any last minutes suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
Good evening,
My name is……… I’m an investigator with the…….DAs office. I took one of your classes a few months back, read your book and practiced a lot of the exercises you provided. Our office recently opened a temporary “Acting Lieutenant” position. Today was the interview and I’m proud to say I was selected. I polled the panel who said I did an outstanding job. I don’t think I would have gotten that result without your class and instruction. Thank you for providing that instruction.
This is a completely unsolicited, inspired comment… Very early in my career, I was fortunate to become aware of Andy’s information about promotional process success. I purchased a copy of his first book, Oral Interview Dynamics, which at that time was spiral bound and looked like it was put together at a Staples. His book was extremely helpful and gave me a significant advantage in moving ahead. I was promoted to Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain on my first attempts and ahead of all peers. I developed a reputation for excellent communication skills and public speaking. If you are reading this, you are already ahead of the game because you are interested in and proactive in your own success. Let Andy take you further with his proven process.
I just wanted to say thanks again, your class and the information you provided really helped me more than you know. My department is about 90 officers and we had 19 people apply for the Sgt. testing process. I came out number 2. The officer who got #1 only beat me by .4 points, that’s decimal point four (not even a whole point). With four positions in the next 18 months, it is looking great for me. Thanks again, I actually enjoyed my oral board and was upset that I had tons of answers for questions that weren’t asked. It was great to be over prepared.
I just wanted to send a quick email and thank you. I recently purchased Police Promotion Super Course & Resource Guide and I am happy to report that I will be promoted to the rank of Patrol Sergeant at the end of the month. With your guide I passed the assessment center with a high score. I beat out two detectives for the spot! Thanks again
Andy,
About a year and a half ago, I applied for Sergeant with only a few other candidates for two open positions. I did HORRIBLE on two oral board interviews as part of the process, but passed the written test. I realized I was completely unprepared and I needed help. I attended your seminar and read all of the material you provided. I recently competed with nearly double the candidates, this time for only one open position. Not only did I pass the oral board, but I was ranked #1. I was promoted to Sergeant this week. No one should go into an interview without attending one of your seminars and reading your materials. But you already know that…
Good morning sir, last year I utilized your services to assist me in feeling more confident during the testing process of FTO. After I passed the written test with my department, I went to you for coaching prior to the oral interview portion and it was completely successful as I was ranked #3 with a high score. I went into the interview confident, but with low expectations of actually being hired for the position due to my age.
I was recently advised that I received the promotion and I accepted. Your coaching was top notch and I felt very happy with it whether or not I was going to be promoted. It was a very useful experience and helped me grow. It was also an incredibly humbling experience to simply sit at the same table of such tenured officers going for promotions as well.
Thank you again sir, I will be sure to give you a ring when I decide to attempt another promotional opportunity. Best wishes!
Thank you very much for coming to Northern California to share your wealth of knowledge with us. The way you broke down the material, it definitely resonated with me as to what I did and didn’t do when I tested for sergeant almost two years ago. Now with a new process coming up in the next couple of months, I feel far more confident and I know it will take a lot of work and practice to shine bright during the interview.
There were several moments where light bulbs were going off. Great subject matter and great delivery. Thank you for the 28 years you and your family gave to this career and thank you for passing on your knowledge.
I got promoted to Captain! The course and the book were very helpful, I put both to good use… as well as the material in this email. Thank you!
Andy, just wanted to reach out and say thank you for your valuable training. I nailed my sergeant interview with a score of 100%. It’s been a long road waiting for a spot to open up and I just promoted to Sergeant today! Your insights helped me to focus all my experience and knowledge to own the interview. Found a supervisory nexus to everything I was involved in and was able to articulate that in all aspects. Your program was life changing for me. I’m glad I made an investment in my future by attending your private seminar. I will always be grateful and take those lessons with me into my career.
Good afternoon Andy, this past Friday, I attended your Police Promote class in………. I have to tell you; your class was the most informative class I attended in my law enforcement career. During our conversation, you informed me that you have additional Lt. test material that you are will send to me if I emailed you. I want to thank in advance for any additional material that you will provide me.
Andy, just wanted to let you know I placed #1 on the Sergeant’s list! In fact, me, ……. and ……… placed 1, 2 and 3 on the list of 7 and it looks like we’ll all be promoted. All 3 of us did great in the oral interview! Can’t thank you enough for the help! Coming to see you for those 8 hours was the smartest thing I’ve done in my career.
Hello Andy,
I don’t know if you remember me as a student of yours. Your book & your class helped me. Guess what, I am a sergeant now. I gave the precious book to someone else who needed some help with promotion. Your book is soooo great that I want to use it for the next promotion in 2 years to the rank of Lieutenant. So, I decided to buy another copy for me. Thank you so much!
Sorry, I should have sent you an email earlier because I know you like success stories. I took your promotion class out at McClellan just over a year ago and then tested last November for Sergeant. I actually had the flu the day of the oral panels, but I still ranked 3rd even though I was sick. I was all better by the time I had my Chief’s interview and knocked it out of the park. After my interview, she promoted me 1st out of the group she promoted.
Only about a month ago I tested for a mounted position (horse) and blew away the competition using your techniques. I was told afterwards that the scoring wasn’t even close.
I bought this book to start to prepare for a Detective Sergeant position that will likely open up in about 6 months. I promote your class to anyone who will listen and then force it on those who won’t! Thank you for giving me the tools you have.
Just reaching out to you to let you know that around this time last year I took your one day tutorial as I prepared to test for Lieutenant. This week I received notice I got promoted to Lieutenant and I wanted to thank you for your assistance. Your guidance and materials were extremely helpful thought out the process. Just wanted to give my sincere thanks for the help.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your assistance. I was promoted to sergeant last year and the year before that I attended a small group session at your house. I used many of your techniques throughout the interview process, but most importantly I can say that I likely worked harder than anyone else as I dedicated hundreds of hours throughout all the various testing processes. I waited too long into my career to begin testing, but with your assistance I tested in band one my first go around! Best Wishes
I wanted to share the good news with you: I found out today I came out #1 on the Sergeants list and it is largely due to my 96% score on the oral board.
Thank you for the help and getting my mindset and answer development in the right place. I know I nailed the closing and it was right out of the Andy Borrello book of forming a closing statement. When I finished, the panel member who asked for the closing even said, “Excellent!”
Thanks as always
Hey Andy this is…………from………..PD. I saw you several months back with a couple guys from……….PD. I had my test and ended up on A band with a 98 on my Oral. Just wanted to let you know and say thanks for all the help!!!
I wanted to let you know that my oral board for Corporal was last week and I finished number 1. I was told that I was very impressive during my oral board and crushed it. I wanted to say thank you. Your presentation and book was a big reason why I was able to have the success that I had. Thank you again! Best
Hi Andy, Just wanted to let you know that I ranked #1 for the Supervising Investigator II (Asst. Chief) Examination! I would like to thank you again for your course and your time. I know your course helped me in achieving this score on the oral examination.
I will be reviewing your material again to prepare for the Hiring interview, which I anticipate during the next month or two.
Thank you again,
A couple months ago my and I took your personal consultation at your house. We were testing for corporal with……PD. Thought you’d like to know, among 20 applicants we finished 1 and 2 overall.
Thanks for the help with the process!
Hi Andy, The results of the sergeant testing came out last week and I was ranked #1. I got 24.333 points out 25 on the oral interview portion. Officer………………..(who attended your class with me) got first place on the corporal testing. I wanted to thank you for all of your help, your interview tips worked great.
Thanks for all the help. I’ll be promoted to sergeant in two weeks. Almost got a perfect oral score. Only problem is that I didn’t know what they were looking for but using your steps I was able to articulate a response and using the power of branching. This allowed me to get almost all the points. Total possible points is 25 and I got 23.3333. Nobody got a 25. So I’m still stoked! Thanks
“
I just wanted to let you know that I was told yesterday that I was selected as our next Sergeant! And, my brother-in-law, ……… (who came with me to a consultation at your place a couple of years back) was promoted recently to Lieutenant. It has been a pretty exciting month for us both! Thanks again for all your help. I will definitely be back to see you when the time comes to go
“Andy,
I came out #1 in the oral interview! I’m not sure yet but I think I got a 99 and my overall score was 90.3 which I believe puts me at #1 on the list. But here’s the exciting news. I got an Acting Sergeant position today! We aren’t making any permanent moves right now because we don’t have a chief and we are waiting for a couple retirements to take effect but out of the 8 people on the list, I got an “Acting” spot! Thanks again Andy!!!”
“Andy,
I really want to let you know how much I loved your seminar this past Saturday. I really learned a lot and believe with your techniques I could do well in a promotional oral interview. I actually look forward to interviewing now and feel that I will do well. Once again thank you for a wonderful experience.”
“Thanks! Again, I thoroughly enjoyed your class. I have received tips from friends throughout the years and have also picked up my own through trial and error. I have never received information as comprehensive as what was in your presentation. It made my 5 1/2 hour drive worth it. Now it’s a matter of putting it all together.”
“After testing I was 2.5% over the next candidate. 5.5% over the next most promotable person. 94% on the oral board. 91% at the assessment center. I was promoted to Sergeant today. Thanks for the help. I’ll spread the word about your services. No doubt I’ll see you in the training arena. Take care”
“Sir,
I read your book back in 2006 in preparation for a sergeant promotional exam and I found your information extremely helpful. As
“The information provided and the presenters were excellent. I garnered some excellent tools that should help me be successful in my promotion attempts in the future.”
“I thought Lt. Andy Borrello gave a really informative lecture in oral interviews. He was great.”
“Good Afternoon…I wanted to drop you an email and thank you for the time you spent helping me prepare for my promotional process. The information and time spent
“Hey Lt. Borrello,
I just wanted to take a brief amount of your time and thank you for your assistance with my recent promotion to sergeant with the ……… Police Department! I recently took your promotional seminar/class and it played a large part in my promotion!”
”My inside oral score remained about the same; however my outside oral score went up 11 points from the last time I tested. This was the third time I tested for sergeant and I am ecstatic to say I came out #2 and was promoted on the same day as the #1 candidate! The difference between 1 and 2 was fractions of points and our scores were well above the rest of the candidates!”
”I was able to parlay the information you gave me into a comfortable,
“Just wanted to thank you for the help during the Sgt process and in preparing my resume. I’m happy to say I was promoted yesterday
“Hey Andy, Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your help with the sergeant’s exam. I came out in first place with a 97.5, beating second place by more than 3 points. The examiners said I was the only candidate who expanded on the answers rather than just providing the “nuts and bolts.” It really set me apart. Once again, thank you very much for your insight and assistance.”
“Just wanted to thank you for the help during the Sgt process and in preparing my resume.
“Hi Andy, I really enjoyed our session together. It gave me a new perspective on pertinent information I should seek to master. Over the years I have become too fixed on my immediate responsibilities and stopped looking at the bigger picture. Our meeting and the information you shared has rekindled my interest in hitting the books again. Of course, it would be impossible for me to absorb all the information you have shared by the time of my Oral Interview. However, I have made it a point that whether I pass or fail the
“You’re a Godsend to LE and many more officers should seek you out. My hat is off to you for the work you have put into your program.”
“Andy, Just got my letter in the mail today. 96% Oral. I am really happy with that. I am in band 2. The list will probably last for a couple of years and I will hopefully be picked up in 2010. Band 1 was only 74 Deputies. I think we started out the test with about 2,500 testing. Thanks for the help. I will let you know if I get more details.”
“I want to thank each of you for organizing/conducting the class on oral interviews for the promotional process. I attended this program a few months ago at Santa Monica College prior to my promotional interview. I am a
“Andy, I would like to thank you again for all of your help getting… and I prepared for our promotional exam. Both……and I were successful!! We will be sworn in on July 1st as a Sergeant and me as a Corporal. I will be coming to see you when we have our next Sergeant opening. We will send you our new business cards when they arrive. Thanks”
“Lt. Borrello – I attended the Oral Interview Dynamics class for The Promotional Oral Interview. First, I would like to tell you it was one of the best classes I have ever attended. In preparing for the Sergeant process I was most concerned with the oral interview. However, after taking your class I actually felt “I could do it.” In fact, I even approached you after class to tell you that.”
“I just wanted to let you know I went to the assessment center last week and used all the lessons you presented. I even caught myself when I used pretext justification (Lesson #8) and quickly corrected myself.”
“Everything you taught me paid off and I came out #1 in the process. Thank you! Like you said, “Simple techniques make big changes” and I look forward to my new position.”
“Hi Andy, I just wanted to thank you for working with me on my presentation skills. I came out number one on the Captain’s test and will be promoted next week. Working with you gave me the confidence and extra boost I needed. Thanks again”
“Andrew, I am not sure if you remember me. I work for … PD and hired you several years ago for a consult. I was promoted to Sgt. as a result. I wanted to let you know I sent two of our guys to your recent
“Hi Andy, This is …… I attended your course at the City of Commerce. I have to say that I was skeptical about the course before attending. I was completely surprised and the class was great and I would recommend it to anyone even if they didn’t want to promote the course also can also help with dealing with any situation when you come face to face with talking or debriefing.”
“Hello Sir, Just wanted to let you know that I came out #1 one our promotional list. More importantly, I did very well on the oral interview and I found myself using all your techniques. Thank you very much for your help…See you when it’s time for the Lieutenants’ test.”
“Wow Andy, I received the book and read it cover to cover in one day. I started highlighting sections but soon found many portions where most of the page was yellow from highlighter and only small sections were still white. You did an excellent job. Thank you so much. Also, I loved
“Andrew, I just received your book and the additional promotional tip sheets that you included. Thank you! The information is incredible, I highly recommend it to anyone in law enforcement, even if they are not yet studying for a promotion. Great job, thank you.”
“Hi Andy, BAND 1 !!!!!!!! 93 on the outside
PS: I’ll let you know WHEN I get promoted!”
“OOOHHHHH YYYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Number two on the oral and number one for the selection of POLICE SERGEANT…Yea!! I will be promoted
“I just wanted to thank you for the information you provided to me. You may not remember me but I happened upon one of your articles in PORAC magazine a couple of months ago. I decided to purchase your book and I appreciate the time you took to discuss issues with me and explain the materials you gave me. After talking with you I decided to change my entire strategy on my department’s upcoming Sergeant’s promotional. I had taken the Sergeant’s promotional exam several times in the past but I didn’t do very well, even though I had much more experience than others who were promoting. I went into the exam with more confidence than I ever had in the past and we got the results a couple of weeks ago. Would you believe, I finished number “1” and I beat several people that had done better than me in the past. It is a great feeling
“I just wanted to let you know that I got the job. Thank you so much for your help. I have relatives in law enforcement and if they are ever thinking about promoting, I will be giving them your name. You are the real deal.”
“Hey, I just wanted you to know that I placed first on our promotional exam with …PD. I was promoted on Saturday, 05-17-03. Your book was a great help. I will recommend it to everyone going through any interview process. Thank you for the help, the e-mails, and the book.”
“
Just wanted to let you know that I received the results from my oral. I made a 99.53. I am going in for my interview with the Sheriff this morning at 0900. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for all
“
“Andy,
It’s… from the London Police Service (London, Ontario CANADA)……I bought your book a few months ago. I’m pleased to say that I made the Sergeant’s list! Without a question, your book helped me prepare for my oral interview. I just wanted to pass on the big news. Thanks so much!”
“Andy,
Just a note to let you know that I did indeed get the Sergeants position. Your promotion package was a great help. I was able to overcome two
“Andy,
I just got the package…..One word sums up the information you provided…WOW! This is great stuff, your book is awesome, but the other resource material is excellent too! This is a true value and I thank you. I am pouring over the info and getting pretty charged up. I know I will ace the oral. I’ll let you know how I do. Thanks again…You Da Man!”
“Andy,
I know
“I am very impressed by your depth of knowledge and ability to present the information in your book. The topic is very important to cops nationwide and your approach has unique qualities that will likely make it much more acceptable than other books on this topic.”

“Andy:
Just thought I would drop you a note to let you know that I was recently promoted to Captain. I believe that the material presented at the Promote 2001 seminar helped me during my preparation. The manner in which I formulated my responses to “I will” as opposed to “a captain would or will” and the way I structured my opening statement was a direct result of what was learned from your seminar.
I attended your course in San Diego in July 2001 just prior to starting the sergeant testing process. I gained a great amount of knowledge and confidence from your class. I am glad to inform you that I will be promoted to the rank of Sergeant next month. Thank you for
“Outstanding – this is the exact training I should have taken several years ago.”
“Excellent course!! Instructors were top notch.”
“Excellent – I was very impressed with both the content and presentation by the instructors.”
“Excellent course. Overall experience and knowledge
“Very, very valuable information provided by some very knowledgeable instructors.”
“Outstanding delivery from each instructor. Kept my attention throughout. Will help with my preparation.”
“This was an excellent program for anyone interested in career development. I definitely see the importance of starting early for the process.”
“I think this course was very valuable to me – it opened my eyes to areas that I need to work on.”
“Excellent course content and instructional information. I appreciated the handout information and the availability of related course material.”
“It was very helpful and I learned a ton of stuff.”
“Great presentations & material provided. All instructors are very knowledgeable in the areas they covered. The course is valuable to anyone who wants to improve & promote.
“I can honestly say that of all the many, many promotional courses I have gone to, yours blows them away!”
“I attended your course in San Diego in July 2001 just prior to starting the sergeant testing process. I gained a great amount of knowledge and confidence from your class. I am glad to inform you that I will be promoted to the rank of Sergeant next month.”
“Thank you for your assistance with my interview process. I scored a 95%, which is 18 points higher than I scored the last time I took the outside oral board. I wouldn’t have done nearly as
“I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I firmly believe that your consultation was the key to my success. The information you gave me was invaluable. The resume suggestions, study materials,
“I wanted to thank you for your help in preparing me for my Lieutenant’s interview. I can say that you definitely helped me get the score I received. Only one other person beat me and he had an average score of 96.66 while I had an average score of 96. I spoke to the raters and they told me they were very impressed with how I answered the questions. My interview only lasted 15 minutes. While I was in there I was able to hit every question with good answers. It looked like I gave them such good answers that they never had any follow up questions. I walked out of there feeling that it was the best interview I had ever taken, and it showed by the score. Thanks again for your help. It was definitely a large contributing factor to my success in the interview. I’ll let you know when I get promoted.”
“I recently participated in the Sergeant’s Oral Interview with my agency, and I ranked # 7, out of 26 applicants, on the eligibility list. My Co-worker told me about your book, Oral Interview Dynamics and I purchased my own copy and read it twice. Your book made it very clear what was necessary to be successful in front of an interview panel especially “The Hook – Core & Branching.” The section covering ” Career Currency ” really opened my eyes to what I was missing
“I could not have had a better tutor! I read the August issue of PORAC and practiced and practiced my opening and closing which you helped me outline and it went off very well. I got a 93-94-95 from the oral board and came out #1 on the list. I was promoted to Commander. I know that your advice was the deciding factor, as my competitor placed about 4 points behind me. I owe you big time! Many thanks!”
“Andy – I had a one on one with you last month. Just wanted to say thanks. I was promoted a couple weeks ago after finishing number one overall and on the interview. Your class made my promotion a reality!”
“Lt, Just wanted to let you know I was promoted to Sergeant! In case you forgot who I am, I work with………Police Department. We spoke a few times on the phone. Thank you for your book and all your help, it paid off very well!!! I scored 13 out of 100, not too shabby!!! Thanks again!”
“Thanks
“Andy, Your material is spot on! I was taught some oral techniques many years ago that were dynamite and they mirrored what you teach. I purchased a couple of your materials for my LT oral exam for review and it helped. I have referred your materials and training to many others throughout the years. You do a great job pulling it all together for officer candidates and those wishing to promote. You helped a friend of mine at……….PD promote to Sgt. recently and I know he’s a big fan of yours.”
“Hi Andy, Back in Oct of 2013, I sat down with you and had a 6 hour one on one consultation to prepare me for my Sgt. Orals. After the orals were finished, I called you and told you I scored a 98 on my outside and a 97 on my inside. Well now I have some great news for you. Last week, I just got a call from the Sheriff and I am being promoted to Sgt. Thanks again Andy for helping through the promotional process. I am recommending you to everyone here in the detective bureau.0”
“Hi Sir! Just wanted to let you know I scored high 90’s in both orals. Ranked 4 overall..promoted to
“Andy, You can use me as a success story if you would like. Using the information you have provided me over the years has helped me to promote to both Sergeant and Lieutenant.”
“Andy, Just wanted to let you know I took your class for oral boards a few months ago in Simi Valley. I bought your book and read it several times…easy read…anyhow before your class I didn’t pass a Corporal oral board…since I took your class and got your book I came out number one on our promotion for Corporal yesterday….Thanks and we have Sgt. testing soon!!!!!”
“LT, I finished the LT test and ended up #2. They will be promoting 3. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. I really appreciate it and hope to one day return the favor!”
“Hey Andy, Just wanted to give you an update…Our department promoted only 2 Sergeants and 2 Corporals…..and………and I both got promoted (……….got Sgt and I got Cpl)!! Just wanted to say thanks. I think your course and book were vital to our success. It was a very competitive group but the Chiefs made it clear that we both stood out in the process and in the final Chief’s interview. Thanks again!”
“Good morning LT., And the good news continues……As of June 7th I will no longer be a patrol officer. I will be promoted to Sergeant. Thank you, thank you so much. Your expertise definitely assisted me in this process.”
“I had an opportunity to attend the California Peace Officers Association (CPOA) “Promotional Preparation” course that was taught by you on Saturday, at our Police Headquarters Building. I have always wanted to attend your professional development and promotional preparation classes but never had the opportunity with a challenging calendar. Nonetheless, I want to tell you that the course was very helpful, relevant, and well worth my time! I am glad I did not miss this course and I feel I will be successful because what I learned.”
“Hello LT – We spoke on and off via email several times. I read your book several times and lived by it. With the help of your book I was promoted to the rank of Sgt. The dept. did not release the rankings, however I learned I was number one. I wanted to thank you for your help.”
“Andy, Hello again from Northern California! I hope business is good. I referred a member of a nearby PD to you for promotional advice. He attended one of your seminars……….wow! I was on his assessment center for sergeant. The guy blew everyone else out of the water! As I watched him present, it was clear to me he had taken your program to heart.”
“Andrew, your book is great. I’m learning so much valuable information. I’m so glad I purchased it,
“Hello Andy, I went to your residence for a consultation a couple years ago. I still wasn’t fully ready at that time so the first go around I didn’t do as good. This year, I read your book and reviewed all of the material you provided. The good news is I aced the oral with MAX points. I really delivered with the HOOK, CORE, and BRANCHING. The panel later told me I did amazing. Thank you so much for your guidance.”
“Hey Lt…it’s…, just thought I’d let you know I finished #1 on the Sgt’s list. No word on actual promotion yet but still a great feeling…started with 110 applicants and 92 moved on to the oral and assessment, so I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Thank you so much for the help…very much appreciated”
“Hey Lt. Borrello, Just wanted to follow up with you, you have helped me the last several years with your classes, private consultation and with my resume a couple months back.
We just got the results from the sergeant’s test and I finished 3rd and we know there will be at least 3 openings for this list so it looks like I will be getting promoted in December.
I got a 95.2 % on the oral interview, second by 3/4 point, and wanted to thank you for all of your help along the way. I missed out on #1 overall by less than 1.5 points and it can easily be traced to me not having been a detective and losing points on the internal evaluations. I also got a 95 on the written which was 1st overall and combined with the oral I was #1 in those two categories, so there is definitely some pride in finishing #1 in the elements that I could control. So again thank you for your help, all of your teachings and resources work and played a large role in the my development with the oral interview and me being able to ace the interview.”
