I thought the course was excellent overall. The WRT and ASD class seamlessly integrated principle understanding with practical application, offering a comprehensive learning experience regarding structural dry-out. Having both the in class and hands-on portions gave a solid base understanding and gave me the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently address a water loss scenario. Jermaine H.

Destry was the best instructor I have come across through my IICRC training. He was highly knowledgeable in all areas and of the course and you can tell he genuinely wanted you to pass the exam. RTI was also the best training facility I have attended. You get to see the ins and outs of a successful restoration company, and the owners of BFW are present everyday and will answer any questions you may have, whether it be relating to business development, why they do this as opposed to that etc. Overall this is the best experience I have had all together.

Our instructor was outstanding! He knew what he was teaching us and showed us how to apply it. As an owner of the restoration company, I will be sending all of my employees to his courses. Excellent experience and lots of learning. Ray C.

Not having any experience in the industry, I knew absolutely nothing going in. Destry was understanding of that and did everything to guide me along without making me feel stupid. Having been through so many different types of training in my multiple careers; insurance, financial services and various law enforcement and military - I have to say he is one of the best instructors I've ever had. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would! George H.
