“Hi Phil, Your program is excellent (as usual). I appreciate how you go out of your way to provide something meaningful and full of substance (whether we request it or not). We are so caught up in the day-to-day operation of taking care of employees, clients, subcontractors, and project needs/issues that we forget about the most important details. The ones that cost lots of money and will put us out of business if we are not careful. Thank you for not going with the crowd and only providing the basics.I applaud you for going against the grain and keeping this program interesting. When you know better, you can do better and your program always keeps the knowledge fresh and interesting. This year, it seems there were a lot of changes in areas that I am not sure I have seen before. Thank you for pulling that information out and making us take notice. We should all want to be better at what we do.
Thank you.
Jane S. CGC”

“Phil, I love your course and look forward to it each time my renewal comes up. This past February, we had an accident on the job and two of my employees ended up going to the hospital. The authorities automatically notify OSHA apparently, so I was met by Wayne the Federal Agent the following day, very scary. Having taken your courses before absolutely had me prepared not only for the time following the incident which included having to gather all the documents ect. , but also it was your courses that had me prepared by having a safety program in place, having documented safety meetings, and proper training to my employees. I was however cited for not having regular safety inspections and that's all. I am respectfully appealing that at the moment. I really like the title of this year's course, Compliance matters, and I wish everyone took head. I know a few contractors that aren't compliant in many areas, and I try to preach to them, hoping I'll reach them one day. The other important thought that crosses my mind often is, how many unlicensed contractors that aren't following the requirement to participate in continuing education, are not able to see your course information? Missing out on being scared into compliance like I was many years ago.   Thank you for doing what you do, It has absolutely made me a better contractor and employer and through your teaching, getting better every time you release another course.”
