What past students are saying about the Free Lead Certification class:
"I was very satisfied with the way [the instructor] explained everything. A true professional yet down to earth individual who gave me confidence and made sure I perfectly understood his teaching. He was entertaining yet serious and professional. I got up at 3am because I drove from the Bronx to Kingston and wanted to make sure I was not late. Class started at 8am and finished at 6pm and hardly even noticed it! He made this course the most interesting course I've ever taken. A true professional. Thank you Green Education Services for giving me the opportunity and hiring such a professional to conduct the classes!" -Sonero P., attended 10/10/2012
