Training Course Testimonials & Reviews

Exceptional Education, No Exceptions

Everblue's training courses will not only prepare you to pass the LEED Exam, certify you as an energy auditor, or teach you about sustainability, but will likely be the best seminar experience you've ever had. Don't just take our word for it; our full-time professional instructors have received thousands of testimonials. Here is a sampling:

Joan,

"The class was amazing. I was a dean for a decade so I have watched a lot of professors and you rank among the best."

Thanks.

Dr Rosemarie R.

 

Steve,

"I was in your Boston Aug 8th & 9th class. Passed the test. Thanks could not have done it with out you and the team at Everblue."

Best,

Ed

 

John,

"I just passed the LEED AP BE+C Exam and wanted to thank you. All of the courses and training I got from Everblue was the best resource I could have had for this."

Ronald Y.

 

"Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a LEED training course provided by Everblue and I must say that I was quite satisfied with it from the beginning when I contacted customer service to the moment when I received my certificate. Their expertise on the subjects discussed as well as their willingness to help their trainees throughout the course were simply exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to my professional fellows."

Juan Carlos Cuervo

 

"Hey Chris- Thank you very much for the course. Again, everything felt as optimally in-depth/critical-detail extensive combined with bigger picture ramifications/ considerations you could hope to get in such a compact time period. Perfection. Your course will be an invaluable foundation-component to not only my future as an individual but the greater benefit of humanity and all life on our planet. You're a legitimate hero!!"

Thanks again - Take Care - John E.

 

"Just passed both the GA and LEED AP exams. You guys are the BEST of all training sites. Your practice tests totally prepared me for both exams. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!"

Julie C.

 

"Great class today. Love the course - feels like the optimal succinct proportions of everything current/pertinent. I really love it.

Thanks a lot again - Take Care"

John E.

 

"Last month, I took the BPI Heating Professional certification course through your company with Phil Haglof as the instructor.

I received my certification notification from the BPI today. I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated both the high level of training expertise exhibited by Mr. Haglof and the motives backing up both your company's and Mr. Haglof's philosophies in your pursuits.

I thank you for your service, dedication and excellence."

Sincerely, Brian S.

 

"I wanted to drop you all a note about my training experience a last week with BPI. As a HERS Rater already I thought it would be a wasted week but was smart enough to know I would pick up some good stuff I wasnt familiar with.
 

I was wrong and it was phenomenal, and primarily so because of the proctor, Phil Haglof. He is the first fully functional teacher I have had to date that not only knew his stuff from the book but had all the first hand knowledge of not just testing but fixing homes also. Although the industry has some pioneers it is still very young, and is especially thin in people who have had to go into homes and fix them.
 

What was so beneficial for me was that I had the science down pat but the way he pulled the science in with actual, real world experiences and pictures made it so beneficial for those without the experience and for those with plenty of experience.
 

Thank you for sharing him with us."

James L.

 

"Just wanted to pass on my appreciation for the assistance our trainers provided for our training. Phil was very informative, knew what he was talking about, fun and entertaining which made it easy to follow along. Then for our field training John came out to help us out and he was able to give us another perspective which was also very useful to see how another guy teaches the class. Thanks again for providing us with a pleasant experience."

David P

 

"John,

I got a job as an energy auditor. I had called the guy over a month ago, and he wasn't hiring, but he let me send my resume. Yesterday he called out of the blue and I interviewed with him. He had been doing the audits and running the crew himself, but he wants to focus elsewhere. So he hired me. He is gonna train me in all aspects of the business. It really seems promising. Thank you again for being a great teacher. I am really getting a passion for conservation and being green. Just thought I'd keep you posted."

- Rusty

 

"Thanks for doing such a great job as an instructor for this workshop. . . I know it was a new class for you guys, but I think I got MUCH more out of this type of class, probably than even working on an associate's project, which I was about to do just to get the experience.


Sometimes busy professionals don't have the time to go in depth explaining the overall aspects of the LEED system, or they themselves might only be familiar with one particular aspect of LEED online.


As a builder/developer, I found it very useful to gain the overall understanding of LEED online as well as the details of the specifications and calculations that need to be performed in order to achieve proper credit."

Oliver P.

 

"I took my LEED GA exam today and got 187 points. Your program is awesome!"

- SH

 

"I just completed Resnet training in Phoenix and was thrilled with the training. Phil Haglof taught the course with an immense amount of confidence and knowledge that was evident from day one. I was excited with what Phil brought to the training and was able to learn the material because of how he taught. Everblue is better and Resnet's raters are better because of the training and the knowledge that Phil provides. I want to thank Everblue for your professionalism and appreciate the quality of education that you provide your students.


To the owners I would like to extend my thanks to you for serving in the protection of me and my family in the armed forces of the United States. As the father of a U.S. Marine I understand the sacrifices made by you and your families. Thank you and God bless you."

Jason Heaton

 

"Everblue,

Last week I took the Building Analyst and Envelope Professional training, taught by John Costello.

I wanted to let you know that I thought John was a very effective instructor, teaching the information without simply reading the power point verbatim as some instructors do.

He was very organized and knew how to keep the class focused and on track. Individuals telling “war stories” can easily eat into valuable teaching time and he managed that very well.

I appreciated the fact that he always made himself available during breaks for individual questions or help. For an instructor that has taught this weeklong class many times, there is the chance for that to become boring for the instructor, and hence the students pick up on that. John doesn’t convey the feeling that teaching this repeatedly, is boring for him.

I enjoyed taking this training from Everblue and will recommend it to others interested in becoming an energy auditor."

- Mark

 

"Thanks to you I passed the exam last Friday!!! I wrote to Katie and called John to thank them. There is No Way I could have wrapped my head around this material without your incredible preparation. That spreadsheet is amazing. I appreciate all the work that went into your books, cards, class, and practice exams."
All the best!

- Annie

 

"I would like to convey that the training I received from David for the BPI BA and Envelope certification class was a very good experience. Despite the fact that I might consider myself a veteran in this field I was able to learn a few new concepts and appreciate why BPI standards are what they are. His respectful demeanor and personality contributed in a positive way to the learning experience. I've experienced other proctors in this field who have made the learning process far more stressful than it had to be with their ego-maniacal disposition. David listened to and engaged everyone with grace and patience.

I felt that he way always open to shared input from all members the group and facilitated this quite well. In one instance, there was a question that a student had which couldn't be entirely answered that day, but David researched it and came back with a very thorough answer to the benefit of us all. I feel he did his best to make sure that we not only understood the material, but that we were as prepared as we could be for the test(s) (ie: encouraging us to read each question very closely and consider the things that are most important from a BPI standard "sort of view" when more than one answer seemed plausible). I would highly recommend David for further BPI training."

Andrew Zaleski

 

"Thank you and your staff's so much for the help with my search for the way to improve my knowledge on the future of home improvement. I really have enjoyed talking to you all about these courses and I look forward getting started in the near future. You all are very knowledgeable about this information and it has been my pleasure to talk to such outstanding customer service personnel. Please pass this on to your staff because I am well pleased with their service."
Sincerely,

"Dear EverBlue,
I can say as a professional educator that your Building Analyst course was far superior in every way to courses I have taken with other providers. Your instructor was well prepared and highly professional in his presentations. The study guide materials were a great asset as well. I've also heard positive comments about the EverBlue LEED Green Associate exam prep course. Rest assured, I will recommend Everblue training at every opportunity."
Sincerely,

- Rich Swart

 

"I've attended many certification courses and would rank this as one of the best. Thanks to Phil Haglof who made the material understandable and interesting (no small task). The days flew by, and, by the way, I passed the $%@# test with an 88%. Thanks Phil!

- Norbert

 

"Thank you for updating my materials for the Leed AP BD+C webinar. As I mentioned earlier today, I passed my LEED Green Associate Exam last Thursday. Everything that EverBlue offered was exceptional - the WIA funding process, the phone conversations with Katie, Bana & Julie, the two day class with James Boley, and especially the reading material, the study sheets and the online practice questions/practice exams. When I took the test at Prometric I felt like I was just sitting at home taking another EverBlue practice test. I actually felt under-stressed and over-prepared. I will recommend EverBlue to anyone that asks and even to those that don't ask!
Keep up the good work. "

- John Elicson

 

"I passed my LEED Green Associate exam yesterday - thanks to Everblue’s class, study material and practice questions (I got a score of 193!). There was a lot of material to cover and Steve Alfaro did a wonderful job presenting it - in a very understandable way, giving us excellent tips and recommendations. Thank you Katie for being so nice and patient with me and my questions over the phone. You and Julie made the process of GBCI registering and exam scheduling, answering my questions and setting up all the practice questions a pleasant experience. I probably sound like I just won an Oscar - I would like to thank everyone who made this possible.
I told my Career Advisor how much I appreciated her getting me into this Everblue class. "

- Elizabeth Kemph

 

"Just thought I would let you know how good a tester Bruce Oxendale was this last weekend. I have been in the Building Industry since 1978 when I was discharged from the Marine Corps. This Industry needs more people like Bruce who have the experience, personality and patience to teach techniques to deal with the ever changing world of energy conservation, safety and economic benefits to our customers. I am really glad I took this course after my LEED program because I think it is a more realistic program for people who have been around for awhile and need to keep up with the changes in the industry. Have a great day. "

- Jim Zimmerman

 

"As an Architect, I can honestly say that this has been the best continuing education experience that I’ve had in 30 years of reporting my CEUs. I have recommended this program to all of my peers! Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to next year’s program!"

- Kitty Long

 

"I really enjoyed your presentation. It was refreshing to see/hear someone advocating for the environment, and the need to do something about the crisis it currently faces. By taking the course, and later the test to become a LEED Green Associate, this is my contribution to the betterment of the planet, however small."

- Nicholas D'Eri

 

"Good afternoon, I just wanted to share with you that this past Saturday, I took and passed the LEED GA exam. I attended to your class in Boston the past 6th and 7th of December, and I am very impressed with your knowledge about sustainability.
I am also very impressed with Everblue LEED GA curriculum, the sheets, the book and practice tests. Every detail is explained very well. Even for me that English is my second language.

Thanks for helping me become a LEED certified......... just kidding, LEED GA accredited professional."

- Nicolas Martinez

 

"You helped me to access my LEED AP BD&C webinar and we discussed how I had used Everblue before. So here's my recommendation:

After attending Everblue's LEED Green Associate in-person class, I didn't hesitate to sign up for Everblue's on-demand webinar to prepare for my LEED AP EBOM exam. I found the learning method to be so successful, I decided to sit for the LEED AP BD&C exam and again used Everblue's webinar and online question bank. It worked for me - I passed all three exams in less than a month."

- Michael Peters
  New York 

  
"I very much enjoyed your class. I would recommend it to everyone. I have been a mechanical contractor for 30 years, do lots of design build, sit on a number of national committees, and have a PE on staff (my son who also took your class). We have done a number of LEED projects and your class has provided clarity for many items that some LEED AP’s have been not quite so educated in. I am getting a little old for all the rote memorization required for the test, but even so the information that I received will be invaluable to my clients. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing."

- John D. Sedine
  President, Engineered

 

"Your course was fantastic and very instrumental in helping me study and pass. The practice exam in your study guide was much more difficult than the practice questions but very representative of the actual test. I have taken a number of review courses and this one was by far the best."

- Raymond L. Francisco

 

"Most knowledgeable instructor I have had in a long time. You cut out the extras, presented the important test info, gave us real tools to use, and are knowledgeable enough to handle all questions without getting thrown off. In fact, we had 4 employees take your course, immediately schedule our exams, and pass to become LEED APs within 2 ½ weeks."

- Danna Seigle, LEED AP
  McMichael's Construction Co., Inc.

 

"I just want to take a moment to say how I enjoyed the webinar presented by Mr. Greg Hamra. He definitely has the gift of teaching!  The whole system was so organized, very easy to use (both audio and video) and most importantly, the course contents are so comprehensive that I found everything I needed to pass my exam and span your knowledge about sustainability and green architecture. I look forward to take LEED AP classes as well in the near future. Thank you Everblue for the incredible job! "
 
- Golnaz Mozafari

 

"Took the exam and scored 198! Without your course I would not have passed. In my 20+ years of practice I have attended literally hundreds of seminars and training sessions. Yours was by far the best. Thanks for a job well done."

- Dan Conlon

 

"I passed with a 198/200! I would say the practice tests were harder than the actual test. Half of the questions were straightforward and half of them I had to think about more . . . Your class was very helpful in preparing for what I had to know for the exam, and of course all of your email responses to my questions helped so much. I probably spent an additional 40 hours studying for the test. Thank you for everything!"

- Kerrie 

 

"Hey Jon, just wanted to thank you for your no-nonsense, direct, this-is-what-you-need-to-pass-the-exam class. I’m the one who was taking the exam today and you’ll be happy to know I passed it. Surprisingly, I scored a 194!!"

- Frank Salmon

 

"THANK YOU!! I just wanted to let you know I passed the LEED AP yesterday afternoon! Your class really helped me get organized and going on this - I have recommended it to all my newly graduated architect friends. The exam was a snap after your assistance. Best to you both - I hope you hear positively from all your students soon!"

- Kathy Holloway

 

"I was one of your students who took the 2-day class at J.Calnan & Associates. I just wanted to let you know that I PASSED the exam this morning. I honestly can say I would not have passed without your class. Thank you for everything. I don't know if anyone else informed you, but so far we are 8 for 8 on passing. This is, no doubt, due to your course! Thanks again,"

- Paul F. Brooks JR., LEED AP
  Calnan & Associates, Inc.

 

"Wanted to let you know that I just passed the LEED Exam with a 197. The practice questions and practice exam were a huge help – most of the test questions seemed familiar to me after going through your questions. Thank you for your help!"

- Kristian Llave
  Balfour Beatty Construction

 

"Our instructor provided good examples with relating theory to practicum. He was extremely concerned with making sure that the students understood the LEED material."

- Sheelena Nti 
 US State Department

 

"The Everblue LEED training was well organized, timely and an efficiently run class due to the amount of information covered in a 3-day period.  The instructor was knowledgeable on the subject, open to questions, had a positive attitude with regards to suggestions and conducted himself in a professional manner."

- Mona Boatwright
 US State Department

 

"I wanted to follow up and let you know that I took and passed the exam on Monday 2/23. Your course was fantastic and very instrumental in helping me study and pass. The practice exam in your study guide was much more difficult than the practice questions but very representative of the actual test. I have taken a number of review courses and this one was by far the best. I am recommending your course and quick test registration to others in our office. Thanks. "

- Raymond L. Francisco, P.E., PMP ECC

 

"Thanks for the exam prep. I passed the LEED AP test on Friday. The proctor told me I was the first one to pass that day from a rather large group of test takers."

- David D. Auge, P.E., CHMM
  Talecris Biotherapeutics, Inc.

 

"The instructor is well versed in the topic presented. He was able to keep our attention through his buoyant presentation style; the group was attentive and participatory in class. He was also able to give relative examples on the topic in relation to our profession and specialization."

- Davina Foster
  US State Department

 

"Just wanted to let you know I took my exam yesterday and passed. I couldn't have passed without your class!"

- Cyndi Bell

 

Joan, I took my test this morning and passed. Yea!! I was actually supposed to take it yesterday morning but one of their computer labs was down so they had to reschedule my exam. Your class was extremely helpful. A lot of the questions we went over were very similar to the ones I had on the exam. Thanks for all you help!"

- Denise Beneke, LEED AP
  MarmonMok Architecture

 

"Took the exam yesterday and PASSED! Got 185 out of 200….boy, it was tough!"

- Mary Ellen Chantry, LEED AP
  Project Manager
  Regan Associates, LLC

 

"You guys obviously did a good job in the class. I took the test today and passed, 185. I was in your class last week in Jersey City. I did not have the manual – your class was tailored perfect. Practice questions were right on as well. So much for waiting 3 weeks."

- Jeff Friedman, P.E.
  Vice President, Air Con, Inc.

 

"I passed the LEEP AP on Saturday! It was REALLY tough but glad it is over! Thank you for all of the great questions in the course handout – they really got me through the exam. I felt everything was covered well in the class - there were very few calculations on my test so that was a good thing! Thank you again!!"

- Kristin Lancaster
  Manager of Utilities - Facilities Management
  Boston College - St Clement's Hall

 

"I took the LEED AP prep course with Everblue on Feb. 3,4 in Raleigh. I wanted to let you know that I successfully passed the LEED AP exam on Friday with a score of 181. I must say, it was far more difficult than I had hoped it would be, but I studied quite a bit and took all the tests, read over the additional info, and the few other things you said we should do. Thank you very much for the help and the prep. It was a great help for me, and I will more than likely look to you guys in the future for continuing education if and when the USGBC decides to incorporate that into their LEED AP requirements. Thanks again,"

- Mike Bishop
  Vice President
  W. L. Bishop Construction Co.

 

"Hey Guys, I took My LEED AP today and passed with a 181 score! I was a little frustrated because I tried to reschedule my exam but wasn't able to, so I crammed hard and reviewed my notes from the course. If you guys are interested, I can write a case study thank you letter to your office. Considering I am a fireman that works part time in my brother's restoration company, it is a pretty impressive accomplishment. Taking the exam 5 days after the prep course and having no experience at all and no pre-course studying, I attribute my passing score to your course. My brother was able to reschedule his for next week. Thanks a lot!"

- Samuel Pinto
  Great American Restoration Services, Inc

 

"The instructor was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the topic which helped the class absorb the vast amount of information. The class was ideal to prepare and study for the exam and I would recommend the class to anyone considering LEED credentials."

- Erin Ebmeier
  US State Department

 

"Our instructor was able to easily breakdown a daunting subject and present it in a fun, applicable manner."

- Genevieve Humphreys

    Thank you Everblue for having a great prep course and instructor! I took the LEED Green Associate course in Chicago with James. He was spot on with the information he gave us, and the practice questions and tests were very effective. I do not think I could have passed without the class.
    Thanks James!!!

    I passed the LEED Green Associate test with a score of 193. Without Everblue I doubt that I would have passed. I took the class at Hofstra University in Long Island, NY, our Instructor Joan Mahon was wonderful. With the combination of the live course, reference material and the practice tests I was really prepared for any questions they would give. Thanks again Joan.

    Joseph Marino

I passed too!

    The class and practice tests were what did it for me. It has been 30 years since I took a test that intense and I almost talked myself out of going and delaying for a while...but I studied every day for a week prior to the exam and it was really just like the practice ones. Everything did seem very familar, almost the same questions, which kept me from second guessing my answers! Debra, Princeton University

    Just took the class this last week with Phil in San Antonio Tx for the BPI Energy Auditor certification. Phil made the class very informative yet veay casual. I enjoyed the class and learned much more than I expected. I will use the skills taught by Phil in my Green building/Energy Auditing career.

    Thanks Phil and Everblue.
