Mr. Stephenson you are legend, superhero, and an international treasure sir. You have no idea how much I have searched for content like this (paid and free) but found it is not what I need. I sincerely wish the best for you!

Hi Tom. Thank you so much for posting these courses. I’m an assistant project manager-in-training at a NYC construction company. Luckily my company is willing to train me as I don’t have construction experience or money to go back to school so your channel is a great help. Thank you!
