I was extremely pleased with the renovation certification course with John Schafer as the instructor. The course was far greater than what I expected all thanks to John. John did a great job teaching, explaining, and helping me understand the loads of information for this class while also making it enjoyable. Paul G.

The class was very thorough, although not in a way that throws too much information to process and remember to where you walk away feeling like you forgot half of what was said. The course material provided is easy to understand and I am confident I can go back and expand on anything I am more curious about if I need to. John was also energetic and charismatic and kept us on track while having fun with us and keeping the class moving but engaged. The hands on portions were very helpful to reinforce knowledge gained through the book and power point and helped us to get a chance to stretch our legs and use the skills. These portions along with the few brakes helped the class also feel like we were not just struggling to stay awake for an eons long lecture that we could have googled our way through. Amy H.

John is fantastic! His enthusiasm drove home the importance of every aspect, which made the material easy to retain. Stressing the impact on everyone’s health will help us all remember that we have a personal responsibility to protect our community. Knowing these standards so thoroughly makes me comfortable that we can continue to do this. Thank you! Lee S.

John was a great instructor for this class, very knowledgeable on all information. Answered all the questions the class had. Took his time to give us all the examples of lead in the work place for business owners and employees of other companies. He has found a way to keep everyone involved and interested in learning how to keep people and yourself self when working in these environments. At the end of the day I would recommend this class to anyone that may find themselves exposed to lead based products, John will teach you everything. Peter S.
