"You presented the training material for the Basic Code Enforcement Officer Examination at the City of Garland back in July. I was somewhat apprehensive about taking the test, but I passed my examination and am currently awaiting my registration with the State. Thank you for the time you spent and the training you presented. It was invaluable information that will serve me for years to come."
