What our client/academic partners are saying!!

   "Finding an expert able to teach a complex subject in a positive way to an educationally diverse (field construction)workforce is always a challenge.  Fortunately, we heard about UTA and you answered our call.  The feedback we have received exceeded our expectations.  Whoever thought that learning how to locate and mark underground utilities could be both informative and fun; so much so that our employees now refer to your class as (edutainment.)   Thanks for your efforts. We look forward to working with you again soon."  May Shiu, Environmental Health & Safety Specialist, East Bay Municipal Utility District 

What our students are saying!

The instructor was very knowledgeable. He presented himself both in a technical manor and also he explained himself in a way that a field person with little knowledge could understand him. He was well prepared and could respond to all questions asked of him. His communication skills are well above average and he speaks in an interesting manner.  With over ten years of experience in my field,  I thought the class would be a dead end. I found out that there were more  things to be learned. I am always looking to expand my knowledge. The workbooks were useful. The visual presentations were clear and concise. I would recommend this workshop to others"  Lineman, Ron Duncan, Turlock Irrigation District
