This was the first certification course I have taken like this online. I found the instructor helpful at answering questions and appreciated his time staying on the call after the class ended to answer questions. I also found it helpful when he used small models to help explain the equipment and techniques we were learning about. Anthony was patient with all questions and never rushed the explanations.

Instructor Greg training on WRT course was very thorough and informative. His knowledge of the industry and the way He explains kept me awake which is an extra plus. Its like I didn't want to miss any extra nuggets He was giving away. Thank you Greg and staff at Don Jon Dallas Texas for your hospitality , providing snacks and lunch meals and showing us some products that you have which will help the technician on the field.

I highly recommend this class. It provides lots of information about water restoration, the various techniques and how it applies to the various building materials. As an adjuster it is a solid reminder of how important it is to document and know you building materials.

I have some experience in this line of work. So you can say I know a thing or two. With that being said, someone recommended I take this course on the condition it was backed by IICRC. Came across this one including a few others online, what distinguished this one was how soon it was scheduled to start. So glad I came across Chris. Gave me some much insight on material and this line of work. The way he demonstrates and teaches the material makes it comprehensive. If you feel stuck somewhere, don't hesitate to let him know. He will go more in depth or different approach/analogy until we're on the same page. Despite the training being online, Chris also has an array of tools that either you've used or will eventually come across in this line work. Definitely recommended Chris if you're considering to be WRT certified!!!

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.

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!

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.
