My instructors were Bruce and Mickey. They were absolute amazing! I’ve had classes at Reets and EMTA. This is close but DeLoatch Training is definitely my favorite. Mickey and Bruce just made the class fun and very understanding. They answered any and every question. They made sure you understood each and every thing they were teaching. The main thing I valued in this class is they didn’t just teach you to pass the exam. No. They taught you the ins and outs of commercial drying. They went above and beyond. I will 1000% be returning. I sure hope I get Bruce and Mickey again!!! Beau B.

The instructors were very thorough and informative. They used examples well and focused on actually teaching us the principles of commercial drying rather than just to pass a test. It was very beneficial for both myself and my project manager. I would highly recommend!
