Morgan Nishida
Dee's course was very informative for someone who has little to no experience in HVAC. She is a great teacher and explained details well for those who are not familiar with HVAC terminology.
I would definitely recommend her course for anyone who wants to know the basics of how HVAC systems work! Dee was awesome to meet and enjoyed getting to know her and her background!
Erika Howell
Dee does a wonderful job taking complex equipment information and presenting it in an easy-to-understand way!
My team works with quite a few equipment terms covered, and her delivery made those words become actual relatable concepts. Anyone, from engineers to administration, who works with the equipment covered would benefit from the course.
Bailey Wells
I do not have an HVAC or engineering degree background, and I generally groan at the thought of taking a science class, but I would recommend this class to anyone.
It was straightforward and organized, and the diagrams/pictures were helpful rather than confusing.
