What students have to say...
Let me just say that I truly enjoyed Bob's class! Not only did I learn a great deal from him, I also very much enjoyed his teaching style. I can't wait to take Bob's other classes! I'm just a small sole prop outfit with just me and my wife but I am excited to take my house cleaning and Janitorial business to the next level by employing everything thing Bob has taught me thus far!
