I was very pleased with the IICRC combo class for WRT and ASD. The instructor was helpful, engaging, and made the class both interesting and informative. He worked closely with everyone to ensure we understood the key points and took extra time to explain more challenging topics. Thank you, Mark, for your guidance and support in helping us succeed and complete the class successfully. Kyle C.

I was very impressed with the training. To be honest, I was expecting a very boring week of memorization and math. It was not that at all. Our instructor, Mark, made the information very easy to digest and retain with a mix of repetition and real world experiences that helped the memorization. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who, like me, wants to learn this business but is not a fan of traditional education. Shawn G.

I recently completed the Water Remediation and Structural Drying course, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Mark was a knowledgeable and engaging instructor who clearly understands the real-world challenges of water damage restoration. He explained complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand and backed everything up with practical examples that actually apply in the field. The course was well-organized, informative, and gave me a much stronger understanding of proper drying techniques, equipment usage, and industry best practices. I walked away feeling more confident and better prepared to handle water remediation jobs correctly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the restoration industry.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of opportunity to ask questions. He has a easy going attitude about everything which made me feel relaxed. I felt prepared for every exam (WRT/ASD). He offered to go over topics we did not understand and never got impatient with us. Ramon A.

Mark did an amazing job teaching the WRT/ASD combo class. He broke down complex topics into simple explanations and really helped us retain the information. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students understanding the material, not just passing the exam. One of the best instructors I’ve had — highly recommend! Cecily G.

Excellent experience! The trainer was extremely informative with in-depth hands-on instruction; very helpful. He was on site each day well before the class started so that we could ask extra questions. He knows his business and understands how to impart the knowledge needed. Samuel M.

The class was very informative and I enjoyed the instructors very much. The only thing I would change would be to split up the tests instead of having them both on the final day. Scott P.

Class and materials were organized and presented in an effective manner that made for an engaging and informative learning opportunity. Was an added benefit to have an on-site flood house for practical application of what was taught in class. Daniel P.

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Most of all my instructor Bryan Brainerd. If it wasn't for his teaching method and excitement about this trade I don't think I would have learned this so well. He truly has passion for this trade and it shows. His role as my instructor was the key to my learning. He made the course fun and very interactive. A huge thank you for his invaluable time!

Mitch was a phenomenal teacher I loved how he would relate what he was teaching to terms everyone could understand. I've been in many trainings where the only thing that was taught was technical terms and uses, he did an excellent job relating the class to real life situations. I greatly appreciated how he would take time after or before class even his lunch break to help explain things that I didn't quite grasp. The one downfall to the class was there where a lot of people who have never done anything in the industry before so a lot of their questions where off topic and more towards the business side of the industry. However Mitch did answer the question but would steer us right back on track. I feel as if the class should be split for the brand new people and the people who have some experience in the field already 1140 N Armando Street, Anaheim, CA 92806
