All of my instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable in the subject they were teaching. If I didn’t understand something they did not hesitate to slow down and talk with me
Treavor was an excellent instructor, primarily because he is ex-USCG and knows what he is teaching. He also keeps the class engaged occasionally with humor. Even though I hold some more advanced credentials than AB, the class was well worth my time. Thanks
