    "Class was great, instructor was even better! He made sure I understood everything he placed in front of me before he moved on. Everything was hands on so it made understanding the information so much easier. He made class a great learning experience with a few laughs and giggles. When I made mistakes he made me feel comfortable when explaining the mistake and showing me how to correct it. In the beginning of both days of class I was extremely nervous and had little to no knowledge. This was a great opportunity and I would recommend everyone to him whose looking to get a CCL simply because Gennard actually cares to see you do good, he also pushes you to pass by loaded you with information and picking you up where you fall short. Focusing on ensuring you actually understand with small questions in between learning to make sure you’re still focused despite they’re being a lot to learn in 16 hours! Thank you Gennard, I absolutely appreciate your time! "
