    My work experience with Advance Testing Company was great. I had the opportunity to spend an entire summer working at Advance Testing. This was by far the best internship I've had. I was able to get my ACI certification and also my OSHA 10 hour on top of the OSHA 30 hour I already had. And all these classes and certifications were all paid for by Advance Testing Company. I gained a whole lot of experience being out in the field, and everyone at Advance were always more than happy to help me when I needed it. If giving another opportunity at Advance Testing Company I will definitely take advantage of it.

    My co-op experience with Advance Testing was a rather enjoyable one. The amount of training they provide before going out into the field ensures that you will know everything necessary to do your job. The training and certifications earned before starting work also hold up outside of Advance Testing, so you don't have to be trained for the same certifications if you apply to work with another company. This is all provided for by Advance with no cost to you, which is an amazing opportunity.

    Advance Testing provides a unique opportunity and perspective in the construction industry. The company has taught my fellow peers and I the extent of testing that needs to be done in every part of the construction phase which is talked very little about in an undergraduate college program. Advance Testing does not just provide valuable experience but the people that work there are friendly and approachable too. I worked on a larger project with a team of testers while I was there. My foreman was always there to help me if I did not know what to do and I never felt unsure about my tasks. My co-workers were also there to help me. This is not your typical construction job where you are building. This Co-op ensures that all the specifications of a job are done right and to code. I enjoyed my last 2020 summer at advance testing and it was the co-workers that made it enjoyable for me.
