Student Voices

"I Just completed Floyd and Sandra's History of Homes class. This was amazing knowledge that every inspector should have to help inspect aged homes. Floyd and Sandra's teaching technique brings such passion and knowledge to the point where you want to learn. They have an extensive collection of materials found in homes that gives the inspector more than pictures to reference. I appreciate the knowledge and their passion to present an amazing class but also their want to ensure inspectors succeed!!!" --Robert S

"As a previous business owner, I owe my success to having the best training in the custom closet industry. I know how important great training is, and this course nailed it! Floyd and Sandra Gibbs did an outstanding job making it easy for me to understand the history of homes, including design, construction and materials used. I feel very confident I will be successful in my new home inspection business! Thank you!" -- Shawn L.
 
"Definitely the best continuing education class I have taken so far led by Floyd and Sandra Gibbs. I learned a lot from their History of Homes course it was amazing!" -- Bobby C.

"I can honestly say I have never taken a class where time flew by so fast. Floyd and Sandra have created a fun learning experience, as well as a in-depth tour of how homes and systems have progressed through the years. As inspectors, many of the homes we see are older and the systems/components we are taught now are particularly pointed towards newer homes. With his class in my tool bag, I am ready to take on any early 1900s/late 1800s home. Highly recommended." --Zeke S.

"I am not usually one to do online reviews or comments, but this class was truly worth my time to do so! I took the history of homes class with Floyd and Sandra Gibbs and have nothing but positive memories. They presented useful information about common building materials from different eras and had many of the actual items that you can see, touch and smell. No boring lectures or PowerPoint overload, just great information, discussion, and dialog presented in a fun and informative manner." -- Michael D.

"I really enjoyed this past weekend with Floyd and Sandra. Floyd and Sandra created such a positive, loving, learning, fun environment. I was really blown out by their personalities. You can feel, tell, and prove that they care that you understand what they are teaching. And I did get all they were teaching during this 12-hour course. The 8-hour US House building history has blown my mind too. So informative but Floyd and Sandra were able to teach it as a story. That's a a great teaching skill." -- Mohamed N.

"This course was amazing. I came in thinking I would learn a few things and left knowing a book worth of information. I have taken multiple lCA courses with Floyd Gibbs and Sandra. Every time they exceed my expectations with how they present their information. They bring in many of the old tools and materials from the era we were talking about and even dressed the part. I definitely recommend taking history of homes course." -- Shannon Fisher

Floyd and Sandra made the experience of learning a joy. I came in expecting a boring 10 days of slides, and I left with the confidence to tackle a new career choice, a family, and a network of friends.

This course exceeded my expectations. They made it fun, informative and interesting and that is not an easy thing to do considering the context of the class. I went into the class not knowing anyone and left with new family members.
