The class was good, after working as an asbestos inspector for a while, and im constantly reading lab reports, and writing reports for clients so they understand the labs. So the beginning of the class felt like a refresher, however I still found out a good bit that I hadn't known about, which I enjoy. After those first two days, and started into the deep end of the lab work, I was a stranger in a strange land. The instructor was fantastic though, he kept going over the same thing with different examples until it set in, making the class very enjoyable. I thought that it being online wouldn't translate for me, but it did, I passed.
So yes, I recommend this class. Lincoln B.

The asbestos air sampling course I attended, the instructor was outstanding. His depth of knowledge in asbestos, lead, and related subjects truly sets him apart as one of the top instructors I’ve encountered. What really made the course effective was the hands-on training combined with interactive learning, including a Jeopardy-style review game that reinforced key concepts we later saw throughout the course.
I’ve struggled with math my entire life, but the trainer—being extremely skilled in that area—explained everything in a clear, simple way that removed the stress and made the material approachable. Because of that, I not only felt comfortable, but I genuinely learned a lot. I left the course with valuable knowledge that I’ll carry forward, and I truly appreciate his expertise and teaching style. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to do air sampling related to asbestos. Sheila H.

I had no idea of but these people are independent people that hold their own classes. Ed was amazing! I am horrible at math, and this man actually walked me through formulas I never knew how to do. He made it very interesting and a lot of hands on which really helps me. He was a wonderful instructor???? his personal company is called Air Analytics this where you go to take all your classes. Contact him directly! Orlando Fl Aubrenee J.

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the NIOSH 582 Method and Asbestos Fibers. He was great at giving examples and making sure that we understood the material. I also really enjoyed when he used a camera with his microscope so we could see what he sees. I thought the use of technology was brilliant and the coarse was overall just fun and informative. I would definitely recommend this coarse to my other collogues and anybody else who wants to learn the NIOSH 582 Method. Lawton R.

This was, without question, one of the best classes I have ever taken. Everything from the facility and training materials to the outstanding performance of the instructor was absolutely top notch.

Class was informative, instructor very knowledgable. I'm a horrible test taker, so it was extremely difficult for me. I also wish we would have had access to the instructor whiteboard notes. I had trouble remembering the test value equation/method and so I struggled with that section of the test. Evelyn J.

Overall the class was good. Instructor was very knowledgeable and straight forward. The class was a little unorganized and most of it felt like a guessing game as to when we received the class link, slides, and exam time. I suggest sending out a welcome email with "good-to-know" information for those who are completing the class online. Bradley H.

Very technical instruction. Allowed me to master, with hands on performance and a full understanding Niosh 7400 and provided a one on one demonstration of the proper processes, techniques and tricks to gaining this knowledge and multiple skills.
I highly recommend the course and the professor! Reid P.

Ed is by far the best instructor for a class I have participated in for a certification. He reminded me of the very few professors in college that were truly passionate about the subject they taught and made learning the material very enjoyable. The class is very interactive, streamlined, and provides you with everything you need to know and more. Ashley E.

The instructor was engaging and passionate about the topic. He does presentation, games and hands on activities which assist in understanding the how and why we want to do something a certain way. I would go back to this instructor again for my future Asbestos courses I'll need. Derrick d.

Excellent class with a great instructor. I have been doing fibre counting for a long time but only trained in the NIOSH 7400 methodology. Taking this course was a good refresher and gives me much more information related to the background of the methods, calculations, statistics, and microscope calibration. Considering this was a 5 day online class I feel that the instructor did a great job delivering the material.
