Scott was super knowledgeable. He conveyed information diligently and effectively ensuring we knew the important facts and information. The packets he provided make it easy to reference should we have questions on any small details. He also ensured us he is always aviable for any specific questions on job practices in the future. The hands on demonstrations were helpful in learning techniques to set up properly but also make the proper set up workable in a safe manner. Scott got all class members to participate and engage throughout the class and hands on training. Jeffrey C.

Good class very fast paced. Instructor was laid back yet professional and knowledgeable. The only down side was the hands on stuff at the end was real rushed but that doesnt seem fixable considering we moved through the material at break neck speeds and still was crunched on time at the end.

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.
