Photos and comments from the NAWT Inspector certification/re-certification class last July: A typical evaluation report from a class participant: "Really enjoyed having Bruce as well as Dave" "I also enjoyed the content - I told my boss it was the BEST NAWT refresher I'd ever been to. (and this was my 5th one)"
See Bruce Lesiker, NAWT instructor, holding class attention:
