“GeoView Associates and I would like to express our appreciation for your company’s outstanding Professional Locator Education and Certification training program. Your instructor, Jeff Ambrose Mitchell, was tremendous in both his knowledge and his ability to communicate technical information at both basic and advanced levels so everyone could understand the concepts…This training and NULCA certification will give us confidence in our capabilities and be an excellent marketing tool that will help differentiate us from our competitors.”
-Michael J. Wightman, P.G.
“Having an actual 30-year veteran teach you and walk through the course is the most valuable aspect of the course. I mean, there’s no doubt in my mind if I had some of my more seasoned men there, Jeff could have taught them something that they still don’t even know.”
-Adam Ramos, SUE Manager
“I feel as though the time spent to explain how the whole process of identifying underground utilities was excellent, very thoroughly and all around thought out”
-Mark Crane
“I feel that I was given the knowledge to go out in the field and perform well, as well as other resources that could help me as well. The course was well structured and taught us what to expect in the field and what to look for as well.”
-Jarrod Blackmur
“Teacher made the information interesting and exciting. Was a truly informative AND enjoyable class! Would recommend to all utility-related fields.”
-Chris Gierhart
“I felt very confident. The professor was very well in explaining all material. Not only that, but he showed us problems he experienced himself and showed us how to tackle them. Best part was that he also showed us how to properly set up the equipment for various situations. Best course i’ve had!”
-Juan Ventura
“It will help me be a better surveyor, to the extent that I can identify utilities better after the course…As we get to do utility locating, it’ll just be another skill that I’m able to offer to our company and to our clients.”
"I thought Jeff did a really great job of explaining everything, and any time I had questions or other people had questions, he had the answers. I didn’t feel like anything was left to where I was uncertain of how to do it, or what the answer was."
“I think this will help me grow in my profession, having the knowledge of utility locating…I’ll be able to identify specific lines just by looking at them. That’s one of the pros that he was able to teach us as well, and that’s going to help me grow into my career.”
“This course taught me that there’s so much safety involved in locating lines and pipes, everything like that. I don’t think a lot of people out there who are working in construction have the knowledge about it and this makes me feel safer knowing that there’s equipment out there that is going to be used how it should in locating a lot of lines.”
"I really enjoyed the course. I think it’s very informative. I think that there’s a lot of information to continue to learn about utility locating. I really liked that we not only learned about it in class but the fact that we had field experience that made it even better for everyone because you get to just do it yourself and learn more tactile than just sitting down and someone doing it on the board. Overall, I really, really enjoyed this course. I think this is something that a lot of people in construction, people who are surveyors or in engineering should be taking to learn a little more. And who knows, it might open up their minds to safer ways to locate things.”
