I enjoyed the the course and learned quite a bit, enough to pass the exam. I am pretty sure that I was the least experienced person in the small (5 person) class, where some appeared to be there because they had let the expiration date for their licenses go by, but they obviously knew their business. The slides that were put up had a lot of good detail, but by and large, the detail on the slides was not discussed in depth, but instead we were left to read the data, and listen to Todd chatter on about the topic sometimes discussing asbestos removal (not in the curriculum), and sometimes giving anecdotes. This info was interesting, but for what was billed as an initial lead renovator certification course, needed more time devoted to it. I understood that he was trying to balance the needs of the obviously experienced members of the class and the others like me who needed more attention and he was trying to keep it interesting.
I also came at it from a Vermont and not a Massachusetts focus having just taken the VT ILC course the week before. I had been told that I could take this course and use it to get my certification and license in VT in order to work on my VT rental property. By and large Todd did a good job of outlining the differences between MA, VT and HUD requirements.
I did learn a lot from the hands-on part of the class and look forward to reading through the printed material that he gave out during the class. It was quite thorough.
All in all, it was a good class that did lead to a successful outcome. Thank you for a day well spent. Kyle J.

The instructor was very knowledgeable, I learned alot in a short period of time. My only concern was we seemed to get far behind in the morning and didn't quite stick to the agenda. In the afternoon time felt rushed to finish on time and the schedule said it would end at 4pm, but it went till 5pm. Sari H.
attended on March 14, 2015
Really I would give them a 4.5 star if I could. I thought Neal was superb. Incredibly knowledgeable and patient when listening to and answering questions. I found the hands on play acting of cleaning inside and outside work area very helpful. The only thing I found hard to track was the differences between state and federal regs....HUD and no HUD rules...a lot to keep straight. Overall v good class, approach, teachers and pace. 73 William Franks Drive, West Springfield, MA 01089

The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation
Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745). The Binder is the essential tool for
step-by-step instructions on "how to" complete forms and letters that are included in the
Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement of lead-related issues within the residential construction industry. Reports of violations and fines are being released constantly. The primary violation is non-compliance of required paperwork.  |
