The trainer did a great job of explaining every little detail. He was very friendly and it was easy to understand everything. I will see you guys in 5 years and I hope other painters get certified. There’s a big fine of $37,500 and you don’t wanna get caught. Easy to get certify for the cost of $300 and 8 hours of your time. Jami M.

I've been in the housing industry for over 10 years and I have never felt more educated in lead safety than I do now. Tim Ryan was an excellent instructor who took his time to cover all the information necessary in the training manual. He also provided us the opportunity to actually be hands on in a lead paint project to truly understand the clearance verification process and the proper way to dispose of hazardous waste. He prepared us for the exam with the goal that we all successfully become certified renovators. I am now more knowledgeable in making safety a priority under the RRP rule and applying the lead safe steps in my own home as well as in my work projects. Brian Z.

RRP refresher class. Instructor was very good and it was evident he had "real world experience" in the construction industry. The class room was fine and comfortable. It was a good class. I laugh when I see ratings in the "awesome" description. I like a 1 to 10 rating system. I will recommend Criterion to others. Anthony F.
