Help me learn what i thought i could not. Thomas R.

Although the instructor seemed generally knowledgeable about the subject, the instruction techniques left something to be desired. The instructor began the class 30 minutes late presumably to allow others to show up, and then spent the next 15 minutes passing out the course materials. There were numerous unnecessary breaks, stoppages in the class to procure missing materials, and a general waste of everyone's time. I felt like i got about 3 maybe 4 hours of instruction in the "8 hour" class.
The instructor did not cover all the required topic areas, which was probably just as well. The presentation consisted primarily of reading the powerpoint slides, and selections from the book. Not a very dynamic presentation.
Better to have had a practitioner do the presentation. Someone who is actually doing this stuff in the field.
The hands on activities were a bit more valuable, but again, the instructor was not as well prepared for the tasks at hand as would have been nice.
The icing on the cake was during the 'exam' when the instructor graded the tests out loud while others were working. The instructor also made everyone stay until everyone was finished with no reason given, and did not review the test questions. People had no idea what they got wrong. That won't translate well to the field.
In summary The instructor was nice but not thoroughly prepared, somewhat knowlegable but wasted time, and delivered a very flat presentation.
I learned important information, but I felt like I could have gotten a much better class with another instructor.

It was an ok course.... Jim T.

The instructor was knowledgeable. He was able to discuss the key points and important information need to fully understand the extent of the regulation. I liked the hands on experience. I would have like to see a bit more upbeat attitude to keep the class interesting apart from the hands on parts of the course. Tyler G.

It was good, but some students in the class attempted to cheat. I feel as though they talked the entire time and should have been split up. It is a shame that they are considered legal adults because they acted like children the entire time. I wish the instructor would have been a little more stern in telling them to shut up. Other than that I got out of it what I planned which was to learn about lead paint. Charles S.

I had a good experience and would recommend the course to any contractor William M.

Material presented very well, all material explained very well, very happy with that. Do to maybe abnormal situation four students including myself were held back because we where told did not pass test but after further examination our test results showed we had passed. Instructor may need to find a better way to examine test scores.
Thanks

The RRP Project Binder & Tutorial is an optional record-keeping tool that is perfect for
compiling and retaining all required documents to be in compliance with the EPA Renovation
Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745). The Binder is the essential tool for
step-by-step instructions on "how to" complete forms and letters that are included in the
Renovation Repair and Painting Rule Project Binder. It is recommended that each renovation
project retain a Project Binder & Tutorial on-site for the duration of the project. The
Project Binder is to be retained after the completion of the project for a period of three
years, accessible by the EPA for possible spontaneous audit.
For those working in EPA-authorized states including AL, DE, GA, IA, KS, MA, MS, NC, OK, OR, RI, UT, WA or WI there may be additional or alternate record-keeping requirements from what is presented in the RRP Project Binder. Please check with your local and state lead programs to confirm the work practices and record-keeping required for RRP work in your area. The following forms are incorporated into the Project Binder:
The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement of lead-related issues within the residential construction industry. Reports of violations and fines are being released constantly. The primary violation is non-compliance of required paperwork.  |
