What people say about our services

I’ve been in this industry for 33 years and have taken more IICRC classes than I can count (literally) and I took Thomas’s class and he’s definitely the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE instructor I’ve ever come across. 

I highly recommend any of his classes. I will definitely be taking more of his classes! Not to mention, he’s a solid guy and a definite class act. Five stars all the way!!

I’d been to many industry classes in the past that were pretty good, but when Tom showed me what he was doing in the classes he was teaching I was completely blown away. I’ve never seen anything like it.
His classes are the most thorough, hands on and comprehensive that anyone could hope to attend. I’m taking his classes so I can sharpen my skill set further and stay up to date, so I can continue to be the top notch cleaner he helped me to be.
