The instructor was friendly and encouraged us to ask questions. He took the time to answer and was honest when he didn’t know the answer. The information being taught seemed as though we jump around a lot, however, it may have been due to the content. The materials could have been better organized. Karrie R.

Al Dages was our instructor for 4 days and Max Quintana was our instructor for 1 day. Both were very knowledgeable and there work expierence was very helpful in providing insights into the program.
I have worked in the industry for 7 years and have previously passed the DHS Monitor Test. That being said, I still learned many things and we were all encourged to participate in the class. It was very enjoyable. Jesus V.
attended on October 14, 2013
The instructors demonstrate that they have extensive experience of the field, which is a plus for the course, the only complaint is that the study material is not well organized and I think it is because we are taking two courses in one, instructors were jumping from one book to another, and it was confusing, my recommendation for them is they will need to create a specific study material for this course in particular. The exposition was excellent, including many particular cases and examples taken from real cases on the field.
