Phil Godshall, your trainer…

...delivers the information in a positive and simplistic manner with some humour to make the day enjoyable. His vast classroom training and field experience brings the information to you for clear and practical implementation.  He has successfully trained hundreds of contractors and is available to answer your questions, even after the training.

There are many training providers/instructors available but all are not equal.  A trainer is required to have applicable field experience in the industry they train in and capable of teaching and relating that experience to the participants for their understanding and implementation into their field operations.  Many students have called me, confused and frustrated with their instructor.  Know who your instructor is going to be before training.
