Brendon - Framing Your Future Class
"There is a lot of trust between the teachers and students. Unlike any other class they (the teachers) trust that you are mature and will take responsibility when in a potentially dangerous environment. I felt comfortable in this class knowing I was being supervised by people with a great range of construction experience."
"This program is great because we get to spend so much time doing hands on work. I never get bored."
