I really enjoyed the training and the instructor was very knowledgeable on the subject matter in which she was able to relate the information to real life scenarios that she has encountered. I would highly recommend her as an instructor for this course to others that are needing to take their 40hour HAZWOPER. 6401 Richards Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501
