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. Blanca Ivette N.

I recently completed the Lead Renovator Certification Initial course, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and exceptionally clear in explaining even the most complex topics. The training materials were well-organized and practical, enabling me to immediately apply what I learned to real-world scenarios.
The course structure was thoughtfully designed to balance theoretical knowledge with hands-on applications. I appreciated the interactive sessions and the opportunity to ask questions, which were always met with detailed and insightful answers.
Overall, this course has significantly boosted my confidence and skill set in the renovation industry. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to advance their career. Thank you for an excellent learning experience! Alex T.
