Our
instructor [Chris] was very patient and clearly communicated how
to best use DAMBRK for us. I really liked that the instructor audio/video
recorded the presentations and worked on our model data directly.
I think these are going to be very useful to us. I would recommend
this course to others interested in DAMBRK training. | Michael

Chris was well educated on the subject material and software and was able to communicate that information. The course material was all relevant and well presented. I plan to incorporate the DAMBRK models and inundation maps into HY classification reports and EAP’s. If you perform hydraulic studies of dams, then you need this course. I ask: Why the “HEC” would anybody not use BOSS DAMBRK? | John Wojnas

I am very pleased. After a frustrating week of unsuccessful runs and desperate troubleshooting, Boss International called me and offered an afternoon training session, in four days, on Sunday at my office! Absolutely worth it. My models were completed the very next day with little fuss. | J. Perry McCutcheon II
