Terrible company. Had an inspection done and never received the results. I think it’s a scam. Going to report to the better business bureau. Can’t reach anyone on the phone numbers provided. Goes straight to voice. Don’t use this company. Run the other way. Would give a zero if I could.

I would recommend this class to anyone that is trying to obtain their Lead certification. My instructor Niyirah was very helpful explaining all the ins and outs of lead testing. She was also open to answering any and all questions everyone had in the class. I recommend parking in "The autopark at the fashion District" which the entrance is at 10th and filbert intersection. You can then drive to the third floor to park and take the bridge that connects to parking garage to the fashion district. The class is held inside "industrious" which is to your left once you enter the mall.

Response from the owner · 8 months ago

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re incredibly proud of you for earning both your EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Certification and Lead Dust Sampling Technician (LDST) Certification with SBP Solutions. As a daycare owner, choosing to understand how to properly manage lead-based paint hazards and conduct compliant lead dust sampling for your own facility shows real leadership. Protecting children from potential lead exposure—especially in pre-1978 buildings—is about more than meeting regulations. It’s about creating a safe, healthy environment where families can feel confident. We’re honored to train childcare providers who take a proactive approach to lead safety and compliance. If you operate a daycare or childcare facility and want to better understand your responsibilities under federal lead regulations, SBP Solutions is here to help. Congratulations again, and thank you for trusting us with your lead certification training!
