    From those who have taken the training

    "Honestly I didn't know what to expect from this new miner training course. Morgan really broke everything down and taught it in a way that I wish this was on my first mining experience. He needs a raise for sure."

    "The instructor was great at answering questions simply and clearly"

    "The content covered everything I would need to know when working on a mine, the workbook and slides nicely complemented each other. The use of personal stories by Morgan and Travis also helped with amplifying how important mine safety is."

    "Very informal, and good info. I have been wearing fall protection for a lot of years and I learned new late from my instructor."

    "Morgan was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Answered any questions we had. Travis was also very helpful + informative. Thank you both so much for your time + effort in helping"

    "Very well delivered and to the point, all topics covered in great detail."
