Client Testimonials and Student Comments

Jim Mooney, Owner, Fuller’s Fire + Safety
“If your company is looking for a safety, industrial hygiene (IH), training firm that is honest, factual, and objective, you’ve just found it!”

Philip DuPerry, Loss Control Specialist, Maine School Management Association
“Jonathan’s ability to personalize each and every training topic makes attendees truly sit up and listen. His experience in the field of adult ed. makes all the difference. He makes training sessions fun – and less of a burden.”

Trevor White, Environmental Director, Indian Township Tribal Government
“Jonathan is without a doubt the finest educator and trainer our department has had the pleasure to hire. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Jonathan is gifted at communicating with, and training a diverse audience with different levels of experience and needs”.

James Reny, Business Director, Waterville Public School Department
“Jonathan is well respected in his field, has a high level of expertise, and has the unique ability of involving his participants in the training. He is well read and always stays current with the changes taking place in the areas of safety, indoor air quality, asbestos, and hazardous chemicals in order that his clients are on the industry’s cutting edge in the regulations and proper procedures.”

Fred E. Corey, Environmental Director, Aroostook Band of Micmacs
“Jonathan’s practical experience in the environmental and IH fields and his background as an educator enable him to bring valuable experience and enthusiasm into the classroom which results in a truly effective learning experience for our students. We have hired many training providers over the years in the lead, asbestos, and OSHA fields and Jonathan consistently delivers the best training. For our students who have attended a ‘Jonathan Klane course’, he has set the standard by which they evaluate training providers. Our students are always disappointed if we use an alternate training provider. We truly feel that Jonathan is the best training provider in New England and are extremely pleased that he is once again available.”

Robert Sieb, Industrial Hygienist, GNP/Bowater
“Jonathan has the ability to teach asbestos and safety courses in a way to make it fun and interesting.”

Student Comments

Jo Etta Horn, Grad Student at Thomas College
“Well, having finished the week-long class today, I must say it was one of the best weeks (for learning) I've ever had! It was so much fun and I learned a huge amount!! The class was "Train-the-Trainer" and I picked up a huge amount of training tips and ideas, and since all the students had to give mini-training classes (on topics of their choice), I learned about MANY things I might not have otherwise known. It was well worth the time and effort!! :D

Of course, I had Jonathan Klane as an instructor for 2 of my other Thomas classes, and I can't emphasis enough what a great teacher he is! Not only is he a wealth of knowledge, but he also makes everyone feel included and important. He truly puts his students' needs first.”

Tonya Philbrick, Grad Course Student at Thomas College
“I know we did course evaluations for Train the Trainer. But I just have to say that I have taken similar mandatory sessions at work and it was nothing like what I experienced with Jonathan. He really got through to the group and not only taught us but showed us in his teaching style. He was exceptional.”

Sean Reagan, CSP, CHMM, Director of Ops. at Triumvirate
“Hi Jonathan – I did not get chance to thank you after the Train the Trainer class at Triumvirate. I thought you did a fantastic job in teaching this course while making subtle points about your training techniques throughout. I know that your course will have an impact on our training program so thank you!.”
