Rick and Max gave a great class. Very thorough in the information and emphasis on the importance of various regulations. They covered OSHA, NFPA, Navy ,etc. regulations and provided great material to reference. I think the class would have been better in person but considering a pandemic, these guys did a great job getting the information across to the class. Jim P.

I found the course more enjoyable then the initial taken ten years ago. Rick and Max kept it interesting and plenty of time was given to cover what may have been lost during translation. Instructors also made themselves available at any time to assist with questions and concerns. Well spent three days with a great knowledge base thank you very much. Kevin C.

The class was very detailed and conveyed most (if not all) of the necessary information required to perform SCP duties at my worksite. I would highly recommend this course for anyone in the Maritime industry from a general safety standpoint, but especially for anyone who is in a QA/Safety role in this field. Mark G.
