NDECC is a tough experience but the team at prep doctors made a better difference for me. Their online skills course is very good. I had the same work check experience as it was in person. Their staff made sure to give a stress free environment. I must take three names.. Dr.Laith, Dr.Maria and Dr.Osama who gave me support with both my work and emotionally. I definitely recommend Prep Doctors for those hoping to get the best support out there to clear this hurdle.
