Doug did a great job teaching this course. Efficient delivery of information and great time management from start to finish. Hands on portion was detailed and exactly how the preparation and process should be carried out on a real job. Material taught was 100% in line with what was on the test. Excellent. Robert J.

Instructor made this day much more enjoyable then I anticipated it to go, an 8 hour training during finals isn’t very ideal (literally nothing to do with him, that’s on my company), but he made this as engaging as possible, and even tailored it to what we will be doing for our company specifically.
Super nice guy, would take his courses over other options in future. Eric R.
