Great experience, very informational and informative. Pat kept the class moving and was very good at not only giving us the information but giving us real world examples that he went through professionally (and personally). I would pick Pat for all my IICRC certifications! Jeremiah "David" B.

Patrick D. did a Great job teaching both the FSRT & OCT Courses. He provided a lot of great details & information that went above and beyond the standard coarse information. I am extremely glad I decided to take this course with Patrick as the Instructor. I am currently looking to continue my IICRC Education and Certification Courses and I will look for any and every opportunity to have Patrick as my Instructor. Kendra R.

FSRT and OCT. The course material and Instructor provided a good exposure to a beginner, technician. With my background as a Toxicologist, I can say there is room for improvement in the material of the manual provided. With all due respect to the instructor and to his tenure in the presentation discussions kept my mind frame in the 90s, this could be updated to help the new material science that produce new out comes how we handle the Restoration processes. A lot has changed in the by products of fire and odors that are generated with new material and more advanced equipment in handling these aspects of the industry. Adrian V.

Pat was great. John L.

Patrick was very knowledgeable and you could tell based on his experiences. He was very well spoken and polite. I passed the exams with 90%. However after taking the exams I could tell that it would have been much more difficult had I waited to take the exams. I highly encourage anyone taking live stream courses to promptly take the exams and they shouldn’t have any problems. That being said keep in mind the instructors don’t have access to the exams and aren’t able to really give you much feedback on the tests themselves or any specific areas worth studying. Given that I passed with information taught I have no complaints the only thing I would say is that if you’re looking for much class involvement there isn’t any. Mostly direct lecture but the stories and examples Pat uses to help go into the subject matter definitely helped me on the exam. April G.

attended on May 8, 2020
The instructor was very knowledgeable about the course material and he seemed genuinely interested in helping others to learn the material. It was obvious that he is new to virtual teaching though because he sometimes rushed through the information and seemed to be trying to wrap up early. This course is conducted as a live instructor-led webinar. Further details will be provided to you prior to the course.
