Below is the chapter and content list from our now famous class manual for the upcoming Advanced Hard Surface Course in Las Vegas (Jan 15-17)
What is NOT noted is that Ted Borecki, Charles Heaberlin and Victoria Heaberlin from TOPS and Tim Yeater from Grey Matter Chemistry will also be in attendance and will be cleaning the carpet at the IICRC Global Resource Center. The opportunity to cleaning alongside these masters is worth the price of admission alone.
Now take into consideration that with just 15 students to our 3 Hard Surface instructors, this very unique opportunity becomes a no brainer.
