I signed up for the Lead Renovator Certification Initial course hoping to get a better understanding of what is required by me, the contractor/handyman tasked with completing multiple projects at customers request that may be subject to a lead paint issue. I own and operate a small handyman business in NE NC concentrating on small scale type projects that would be labeled maintenance, repair and/or punch list services. I wondered if this class would really pertain to what I do. I quickly discovered that yes indeed it does. Viewing the videos I saw numerous examples of task I had completed in the past where I was not properly executing the necessary safety procedures fully as required. The instructor demonstrated through classroom participation steps to not only protect occupants living in the structure being renovated but surrounding areas as well as me the contractor tasked with the responsibility to do the job correctly according to EPA/HUD standards. His instruction was efficient in his delivery and use of time. The information covered was done in a manner to insure everyone was following along and completely understood each module. He was able to keep the class interested and atmosphere and setting was conducive to learning with question and discussions with the class. He showed interest in classmates employment status and how this class related to their specific situation. The practical application exercises were thorough as well as very informative. In the end I feel I receive great value for the money spent to attend this course. Within less than 1 day I received a follow up email from the instructor with the class picture, great touch! I also received my certificate as well as an information to review the instructor. I look forward in the future to attending classes through Zack Academy either online or on location. I will be looking at courses available and budget allowances and will be back in touch soon. Thanks for a great experience!
