I’ve been in the WTR class a few times. The Instructor Anthony was the most knowledgeable one by far. You guys should pay him more because he is invaluable, not only does he know the literature well, he explains it well. And he actually knows the industry and the reality of running a company. Great guy. Good class.

Chris, was an amazing instructor, he went through the material at a good pace and was very open about taking questions and having open conversation about different topics of the class. He took the time to get to know each of us and how the material would apply to us. He made sure to point out when certain aspects would effect our profession. The material covered was relevant and easy to understand, when something was a tougher concept Chris gave us extra time to ask questions and never made us feel bad or dumb for asking for more clarification. The class was light hearted and a comfortable setting. The review Chris went through with us I felt prepared us well for the test.

Im still in college and I wish he could teach all my classes he keeps the class engaged while also having fun with it. He also tried to get to know all of his students even though it was only a 3 day course. He was always on time and never wasted our time. He was more worried about our questions and made sure we understood the material instead of just getting through the course. I cant express how much of a great instructor he was.
