Pleased to have taken part in this Lead Safety for RRP Rule certification course conducted by Zack Akademy. The operators were very courteous and attentive to provide me with accurate information on my questions before registration. The 8 hour course held at the Big Apple headquarters Occupational Safety in NY was well equipped. Instructor was very prepared and active especially he had very well prepared the two hours where he explained with practical methods how to protect the workers and home owner during the works, the two practical hours were the key to understanding and made the test easy .
