Bowling GreenMetal Joe J.(What I liked most about the course was…) Comfortable atmosphere. Instructor was down to earth and informative.
Wheelabrator Daniel D.This is the second time I've been through this course and by far this was much more thorough than before. (The Instructor) was extremely thorough and much
more in-depth than the last course I was through.
