Darren Foote at Learn to Restore training institute was a great teacher. Clear, concise and able to explain the material in multiple ways to ensure all students understood Steven T A.

WRT class very educational and instructor was very informative. I recommend all Insurance Adjusters that want to understand water damage claims better take class. Kenny T.

I enjoyed the WRT class. Mark is clearly a master of the craft and someone I would consider an expert. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of a slight lack of control of class behavior. I understand the background chatter of classmates helping classmates with course material. However, when you're in a small class and 2,3,4 people whisper/talk to each other non-stop it is really hard to hear/pay attention to the instructor. I understand some class participants are younger and maybe immature in a class setting, but for people who are trying to pay attention and learn, the distraction of whispering voices is annoying. Please don't take this review as a complaint. Please take it as constructive criticism moving forward. To Mark's credit he addressed the situation a few times, but the whispering never ended.

Great class. First day was a little tough. Covered a lot of material but we got into our stride by day two. The host facility was excellent, friendly and accommodating. David W.

Instructor was very knowledgeable. Would recommend longer breaks though considering courses are 9 hours per day during the middle of the week and people have work duties as well to take care of. Also recommend having the test the following week so people have an opportunity to study and retain information. Test requires study time rather than just listening to instructor. MILFORD A.

I really enjoyed being a student in Mr. Foote's class. English is my second language, but I was able to understand his presentation and lessons. He had some great videos to help with teaching the course. Mr. Foote was patient in explaining some difficult concepts. Sera G.

Darren was a great instructor. He was easily accessible before and after class. He presented the material in a manner where even an inexperienced student could follow along and comprehend. There were several examples given with each scenario to help the class understand the concept as everyone learns at a different pace. Great jokes Darren, I don't care what people say! Harmony M.

Darren Foote was a great teacher. He was very thorough, and hands on with many visual examples that made learning about WRT much easier to understand and interesting. He took the time to answer all the student's questions whether relevant at the time of class or not. He also made himself very available before and after class to review or answer any questions. I would definitely recommend Darren Foote as a teacher to anyone who takes the WRT class. Glenn H.

Darren Foote at LearnToRestore.com is knowledgeable, ethical, encouraging and energetic. He keeps the class engaged and provides the training necessary to pass the test. However he goes above and beyond. One of the other students in the class stated he got newfound motivation to do his job moving forward. Darren teaches the science behind restoration and will get you or your employees oriented to do the job right and avoid problems. I enjoyed him on a training a number of years ago and purposely looked for one of his classes first. I wasn’t disappointed. It also doesn’t hurt that he works daily with the IICRC. Spencer S.

Seriously one of the most enjoyable class sessions I've ever had. Darren was amazing at keeping everybody focused.

Nate was knowledgeable, experienced and patient. Helped our class understand the course in a professional manner, and being that it was a lot of information to take on in just 3 days, he slowed it down just enough for our minds absorb, yet also stayed on track. I would love and hope to have Nate as my instructor in the future classes I plan on attending! Evonne T.

The instructor was easy to understand, taught everything thoroughly and I love how he gave examples of things he was teaching so we could remember the answer by referencing back to his story. Highly recommend this class and especially the instructor! Sean T.

With extensive knowledge and a personable tone, Mike was able to educate my peers and I to industry standards, and then some! Not only do his decades in the industry help him to convey the information, but the stories that come with that history are great! Could not have asked for a better class. Christopher W.

Mike was an excellent instructor. With his industry experience and knowledge base he was able to explain concepts not only to an understanding of the test but real world applications. I look forward to more classes with Mike in the future. The course stayed on topic and he made the information relevant and not only easy to learn, but also fun. I am new to the industry and feel that Mike gave all of us in attendance a great foundation to our future careers. Michael P.

Richard Driscoll was a very well educated and informative lecturer. He made sure the class understood all pieces of the material he was teaching before moving to the next section.

I took my WRT course this past week and I was very impressed by the knowledge and teaching ability of my instructor. He had an extensive knowledge of the water restoration industry and passed on many interesting gems during the course. He explained things well and made it easy to relate to the information so that we could remember important points that we'll use in the field. Timothy P.

Art Johnson was the best instructor I have ever had! He made everything so easy to understand while simultaneously being fun and professional! I would take another course if he was the instructor hands down. Joseph U.
attended on December 10, 2021
Art Johnson was a great instructor. I spoke a lot in his class and he always heard what I had to say and either acknowledged or corrected something I said. Which in turn helped clarify some things. Anyways highly recommend and don’t be like me and show your worksheets in the camera for your test. I didn’t and followed the rules per iicrc and there was about 7-9 questions where I could have really used the psychometric chart. Prentiss H.

Extremely knowledgeable, professional. Anatol K.
attended on December 10, 2021
I would say perfect. Even though I have nearly 5 years experience, I learned a lot more from him then I thought I would. He answers everyone’s questions, broke everything down made it simple to understand. And also gave some tips from his own personal experience. Which helps. Hopefully, anyone that takes the course in the future has Mr. Dooley as an instructor as well. I was able to take great notes to study. He just seems like he cares about spreading his knowledge so others can gain and further their experience in this industry. I’m very happy with the way he teaches. Hopefully he is my instructor for the next certification in the near future. He clearly knows his stuff. Very smart individual. Carlos L.

The course overall went good and was very informative, there was some issues on the part of the instructor and his assistant involving the correct links for the course, exam and zoom. Despite that I would gladly take a course with Gary again. Michael M.

Good Brett P.
attended on December 9, 2021
Overall class was good! Gary the instructor was knowledgeable and had many good stories relating to the material.
Unfortunately our class started late on the first day as the wrong zoom link was sent. The wrong workbook was sent as well.
The amount of times people were told to be on camera started to be cumbersome. The IICRC was always the reason that people had to be on camera (not sure this is necessary).
Overall good experience
