“Your class was great! I’ve attended several electricity beginner courses, and I can say that your curriculum was the most informative and the most on target for a beginner. I’ll admit, three days is a bit of a haul, but it was well worth it–current topics, excellent material and referencing, wonderful presentation, and quick, responsive answers to a range of questions from the very simple to the very complex. Kudos!”
