    Very informative, it will be very helpful when I talk to my clients after I do a measurement test.

  93. James –

    I have been installing mitigations and training for 6 years through EPA approved courses. This course offered suggestions that I had to learn in the field such as ” the phasing approach.” It even introduced me to the idea that in a combination sub-slab and crawl house that I should phase by treating the crawl first. Why did I not think of that. If I had this course when I first started it would have shortened my learning curve considerably. Great Course!

  94. Ken –

    Excellent course, as a home inspector and radon measurement provider, it increased my understanding of mitigation systems which will allow me to provide a more thorough inspection for clients. I’ll be looking for another class very soon.

  96. Dr. Zygmunt –

    Book very well written and easily readable; test questions fair and comprehensive
