Mold has been an environmental issue for thousands of years. Current trends, proposed legislation, and regulatory requirements makes mold one of the most important indoor environmental issues of the new millennia. Hurricanes, floods, mechanical problems and poor building maintenance may lead to microbial growth, affecting occupants health, property values and insurance policies.

The information was presented in orderly fashion, supporting books and exhibits provided and the atmosphere was both business like and friendly. Real world examples were inserted by the experienced instructor to give the material context and texture. I felt it was a great value and will attend here for all the classes I need.

In almost 20 years in the abatement and remediation field I've never had such a good instructor like him, it's amazing the way he keeps everybody involved in the training. He's knowledge goes beyond of the expectations. And honestly he makes others training providers look pretty bad. While others providers just leave you in a classroom watching videos, he stayed in class all the time. I'm looking forward to get others trainings with him in the future.
