"I came in looking for clarification on the ASTM and AAI standards and how they affect the way we conduct Phase Is. I was also very interested in learning more about liabilities for me and the company... I received information on all of these aspects and more. It fulfilled my expectations and then some."
-July 2010 Graduate of EDD-PP
"I'm really enjoying the class and learning quite a bit. The forum has expanded my insight into the "mind of the assessor", which is worth its weight in GOLD. Great Class! I will go on record NOW by saying every environmental risk officer at a lending institution, insurance company or anyplace else should take a class like this no matter their background."
- Stuart Weese, EDD-PP Graduate
