That was why second initial training, and it was so much more interesting that the first time! Instead of reading the dry (and boring) EPA regulations, Barry was able to explain everything with his "contractor war stories" and that made the entire class very interesting... and fun! I also realized that I had missed a few key elements during my first training. So, thank you Barry for the training! I really enjoyed it.

Interesting, clear and consistent presentation of the material made it possible to absorb quite a lot of information in a fairly short time. It was obvious that the trainer knows the information not only in theory, but also in practice. I also liked the visualization of many processes with the help of drawings and improvised means, such as sugar, etc. I highly recommend the course and the trainer. Thank you.
