Testimonials

Kent Hobart (Vice President Operations Southern Gas Association) -  We’ve been very fortunate to have Tommy Arnold of the Georgia Utility Training Academy teach a Leak Investigation and Grading class for us the last two years as part of our SGA Spring Gas Conference.  We gather feedback from class participants after the training and feel strongly the most important question we ask is “Would you recommend this class to a coworker?”  The average score from GUTA’s 2016 class was 9.93 on a 10 point scale.  The highest of the over 30 workshops we offered during the conference.  Our attendees students say it far better that I can,  GUTA is an outstanding natural gas training resource and one they would highly recommend!     10/142016

Jordan Fuhrman (City of McDonough) In regard to 9-29-16 Stormwater Expo - It was an excellent experience providing many opportunities to meet and network with other agencies and to see some of the new products offered by vendors. The available classes were also an outstanding resource. Looking forward to another one next year.  10-13-2016

Kelly Durkin - (Southern Cross) Thank you so much for allowing our team to test out our new Laser Methane Detector at your facility. Not only was your facility top-notch and easy to find but your hospitality and customer service was unmatched. We were able to relax and take our time while testing the new product in a real world setting. Your team was available any time we had questions or further requests. Thank you again for having us! We will be back!  10-12-2016

Stephen Bailey - "I would like to thank the Georgia Utility Training Academy for the classes I attended in June and August. The facilities were top notch, both in the classroom and in the simulated practice areas. The course materials were well prepared and organized, and very thorough. I would like to also extend a very big thank you to instructor Tommy Arnold. He really knew the course material and backed it up with real working experience. Tommy is a people person who went above and beyond to help us with any questions we had, and took the time to make sure each of us fully understood the material. I highly recommend the training academy and look forward to more training in the future!" - August 23, 2014

Stacey Thomas - "Mr. Cowan, I wanted to let you know that after your class on May 6-9, 2013 I was able to pass the Water Distribution System Operator examination with a score of 90%. I want to thank you and the Georgia Utility Training Academy for hosting and teaching a great class. The instructors and the facility are exceptional and the City of Monroe should be very proud of the classes that y’all offer to other communities. On a side note, I was able to complete all ten math questions correctly due to the methods you taught us in class. In August, we will send another person to GUTA for the water distribution class, so please be on the lookout. Again, thank you for helping me pass my exam and hope to see y’all in the future for more classes. Thanks!" - May 30, 2013
