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. Evan G.

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.

Gabby’s expertise and enthusiasm for the subject made the material not only easy to understand but also engaging from start to finish. She broke down complex topics into clear, actionable steps, ensuring everyone in the class felt confident in their understanding. Her approachable teaching style encouraged questions, and she took the time to address each one with patience and clarity. Gabby’s passion for safety and professionalism in the field really shone through, making the class both informative and inspiring.

This course was very informative. The instructors took their time to thoroughly explain the material and make sure no student was left behind.

It couldn't be better. Interesting, clear and consistent presentation of the material made it possible to absorb quite a lot of information in a fairly short time. It was obvious that the trainer knows the information not only in theory, but also in practice. I also liked the visualization of many processes with the help of drawings and improvised means, such as sugar, etc. I highly recommend the course and the trainer. Thank you.
