Thank you Coach8 for an amazing commercial drying course. Ken Larson was a fantastic instructor with a wealth of knowledge that kept the whole course entertaining and engaging with real life applications and a passion to see things done right. Having large desiccant equipment onsite and running into a practical space was so helpful to get everything we were learning to click and sink in. Scott and Roz were amazing hosts that took care of everyone and everything and the training space is second to none.

Thanks Scott and team for an incredible week of learning. As a newcomer to the water restoration space, I was a little apprehensive at the idea of sitting an exam at the end of the course. I need not have worried as the online classroom and comprehensive manual/notes made it easy to learn and was also very enjoyable!

Absolutely amazing experience. Scott really goes above and beyond.
