The instructor was very good and knowledgeable.
However, the course training book handed out to us was fair to poor. It had outdated leadhealth standards, approximately tenplus unfinished critical sentences, confusingly formatted bullet comments, and items/criteria which conflicted with the oral instructions from the teacher and evidently, also the test. The book appears not to have been very well proofread for errors. James C.

The Instructor was very clear on what the course was about, and very informative. Answered our questions, and explained the importance of following the
EPA's guide lines. I learned quite a lot from the class.
