 I recently completed the IICRC Water Damage Restoration (WRT) Class through Horizon Educational Seminars, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The class was led by Sandy Bowles, an instructor with decades of real-world, front-line experience. Her deep expertise in the field made the entire course incredibly engaging and eye-opening. Sandy’s ability to relate complex concepts to real-life scenarios was invaluable. She didn’t just teach the material—she made it come alive through detailed case studies and firsthand insights from her years in the industry. Despite being an online class, the format was well-structured and interactive, keeping the content engaging throughout. The course was highly informative, providing both foundational knowledge and advanced strategies for water damage mitigation and restoration. The level of detail Sandy brought to each topic really helped me understand the full scope of what’s involved in this field, from initial assessment to restoration completion. What impressed me most was Sandy’s passion for the industry and her dedication to sharing every piece of wisdom she’s gained over the years. She went above and beyond to ensure all participants grasped the material, answering questions thoroughly and making herself available for further clarification when needed. For anyone considering the IICRC WRT certification, I highly recommend Horizon Educational Seminars and Sandy Bowles as the instructor. This course gave me new perspectives and sharpened my skills in ways I didn’t expect. Whether you’re new to water damage restoration or looking to update your knowledge with the latest procedures, this class is a must! Thank you, Sandy, and Horizon Educational Seminars, for such a valuable learning experience!

 Sandy is an amazing instructor for the Fire and Odor IICRC courses. She deserves a 10 for her rating but I'm giving a 5 because that's the highest I can give. She is a subject matter expert in her field and prepares her students well for success and to pass the IICRC exams. Sandy is extremely dedicated to her students and their success. If you are looking to acquire IICRC certifications, Sandy and Horizon Consultants is an amazing person to work with!

 I was a little hesitant to take an on-line class only because I learn better hands on. Sandy Bowles had no idea I was a retired Type 1 Haz-Mat Captain for the Bakersfield Fire Department for 32 years. I listened in to see if she was blowing smoke on all the chemistry that is taught in this class. I have to say that Sandy has got to be one of the most knowledgeable instructors I have had the pleasure of taking a class with. If you're looking to take this class, Sandy's humor and quick wittedness makes the class a fun place to be. Although having to sing (Here we are to save the day by Mighty Mouse has not left my brain yet). All in all, great job Sandy and Thank You.

 I am pleased to have taken my water mitigation and restoration course with Horizon Educational Seminars. The IICRC Instructor, "Sandy" was not only experienced but also compassionate. She dedicated all her time and energy to explain and giving live examples related to the theoretical part of the course, which made it easy to understand and enjoyable. Am pretty sure if you take her Trainings/courses, you will not believe the new you, you will become. I am testifying on this. Thank you Sandy Bowles. Thank you for being an asset in this industry.

THE CHALLENGE AND THE ADVANTAGE

The challenge of a successful business often depends on the ability to access quality training. In recent years, on-line training has become a viable and valuable source of educating business owners and their employees.
The opportunity to fill the need of education has been met with courses that can be accessed through computers and tablets, and literally thousands of companies have discovered how to evaluate, qualify, and benefit from live on-line training.
Here are a few of those advantages for you to think about:

THE ADVANTAGES

You do not have both the time and expense of travel.
You do not have the expense of hotel accommodations and you sleep in your own bed. There are no additional meal and incidental expenses.
You are not confused by the opinions and the influences of others.
There is no one there trying to sell you something.
There is no one that may try to hire your valued employee.
Employers can monitor their employee's progress.
You still get a comprehensive reference manual and field guide.

ANOTHER POSITIVE PLUS

In addition to the above advantages of live on-line training, we go above and beyond when it comes to providing every student with an entertaining and educational experience. We love teaching and we make learning fun. We treat our students like family and nurture them with follow-up help when needed.

Added to the above, our combination of over 60 years of experience as professional instructors as well as 40 years of birthing and growing our own cleaning and restoration businesses will ensure you have made the best choice for your training.
