I recently had the pleasure of attending a virtual WRT class instructed by Holly. She presented the information in an easy to follow format that adhered closely to the written materials. This close adhesion made the information easy to follow and locate later on when reviewing.
The information provided in the WRT course was interesting, technical, thought provoking and will help any water restoration technician. The scientific and technical approach will help the WRT reason through selection, placement and quantity of machinery via solid mathematic reasoning. In short this is a must have class for technicians to provide the best service to the customer, facilitate easy insurance payments through compliance and mitigate the risk of litigation. Jason A.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a course taught by Anthony, and I can confidently say that he was nothing short of phenomenal. From the very first session, it was clear that Anthony had a unique approach to teaching that not only engaged his students but also made the subject matter relatable and applicable to everyday life.
One of the most impressive aspects of Anthony's teaching style was his ability to connect course topics with real-life scenarios. He effortlessly wove in examples and discussions that resonated with all of us, helping to deepen our understanding of complex concepts. This approach made the class not just informative but also enjoyable, as it encouraged insightful discussions among classmates.
Furthermore, Anthony's energy and enthusiasm throughout the course were truly infectious. He approached each topic with passion, which inspired us to remain engaged and motivated. His positive demeanor created an atmosphere where students felt comfortable participating and asking questions, contributing to a collaborative learning environment that I greatly appreciated.
I wholeheartedly recommend Anthony’s courses to anyone looking to further their education. His ability to make learning fun and accessible sets him apart as an instructor. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to learn from him again in the future, especially for other certification courses. If you're considering enrolling in one of his classes, do not hesitate – you won’t be disappointed! Kristina C.

Sandy and Tracey were awesome! They bring a plethora of knowledge and a great attitude to the table. They seem to genuinely care about their students and what they end up taking away from their class. I 100% would recommend and hope to take some additional classes through them again. Josh M.

Tony was very informative and gave off the impression he really enjoyed teaching people you could just tell the passion he has for water mitigation I really enjoyed the class! James B.

As a person with time in the field, taking this class almost seemed pointless. But on day one when we all got to introduce ourselves and share our experience and time in the field I immediately started to see that this class would help.
We had open discussions, shared experiences in the field, gave our opinions and thoughts on the scenarios the instructor was talking about and helped those who are new to mitigation understand some of the whys and how we’d handle certain situations.
I enjoyed taking the course, and will say that Darren really is a great teacher. Ryan S.

Anthony was my instructor for WRT. He was very knowledgeable and passionate and professional. I ask a lot of questions and he took the time to make sure that I was comfortable with the comprehension being this is my first Water Class. He was able to keep my attention and included the whole class I. Exercises for participation. I feel good about the information that I obtained and hope that the test is similar to what I will be evaluated on. Great Course to learn the ins and outs of psychrometry! Never knew it was so many variables and factors involved with the process of drying, very informative. Thanks Collin E.

Hands down Chris is the best instructor I have ever had. The privilege of learning from in my 13 years of doing restoration work. He is the most personable, knowledgeable, humble, funny and inviting instructor in my opinion from his powerpoints to the videos, he shows. To his own personal experiences in the field that he'll share to listening to the students is unbelievable. The amount he cares not only for water restoration, but for all current and new technicians coming into the field is unmeasurable. I truly hope i get the privilege of having him as my instructor in future courses. Jason K.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course with Chris. He is professional, clear and detailed in his instruction. His materials were thorough. Chris encouraged participation and responded to every question and comment from the students. Chris is clearly an expert in this field and is well versed in the IICRC code. I highly recommend taking his course to anyone and when I'm ready for my next IICRC Course, I will most likely seek Chris out as the instructor for that course. Dewaine I.

Chris was a fantastic instructor, the only "issue" I would say is lack of time for the course. Not his fault by any means, the course should be 4 full days instead of 3.
He answered our questions promptly, was very helpful when it came to explaining and clarifying. His real-world examples were useful in how to think about the jobs we'll get going into the field. I would recommend him for anyone taking the course, and any other courses he may teach. Herman K.

Anthony was excellent, learned a lot. Even though I feel like I learn at a faster pace than some people, he was able to slow down and help them as well and it’s nice seeing that it didn’t bother him he just wanted us to get the information bottom line. I appreciate him and hope I don’t let him down on the test! Joel H.

Chris explained complex topics clearly, breaking them down in an easy-to-follow way. He was patient and straightforward, ensuring everyone understood before moving on. His deep understanding of the subject matter, combined with insights from his own experience, added a lot of value to the lessons.
Overall, I had a great experience with Chris. He made the course manageable, kept us engaged, and provided excellent support throughout. I’d highly recommend him to anyone taking the IICRC WRT course. Marco D.
