Taking the applied structural drying (ASD) course was a wonderful experience for me. I had the privilege of having Brian Brainerd with Restoration Academy, LLC as my instructor. This was one of the last classes I needed for my Masters and to be eligible to be an instructor.  

While taking this class, I looked at it through two perspectives. The first was as a technician. The class was fairly large, with people from across the U.S. There were people with years of experience, some fairly new and a few getting training to start their own business. It was a great opportunity not only to learn about different techniques and situations, but also to apply them. It was great to see everyone using drying strategies they have learned with different materials.
