About ASTM and Sponsoring Committee
ASTM standards have grown to be among the world's most widely used and accepted documents. Recognizing the need for authoritative site assessment standards, ASTM pulled together environmental professionals, real estate and insurance professionals, lawyers, and government representatives. These members of ASTM Committee E50 and its Subcommittee E50.02 on Commercial Real Estate Transactions developed the standard upon which this course is based.

Praise for the Course
Praise from recent users:
"I loved the interaction quiz portions within each module, I feel it helped me retain the information better. I also enjoyed the presentations and project/issue examples instead of the typical training videos. I do think the examples using specific features were very beneficial."
"This course was very 'hands-on', which contributed to my learning of the Phase I ESA process. I like the real-life examples/situations."
"The depth of knowledge was great and I really appreciated how everything related back to the standards. Very informative."
"I thought the enthusiasm and expertise of Julie and Paul were excellent. I loved the "real world" examples that they used. We learn so much just from experience, so to go through several scenarios was so valuable. Great job!"
"The course is very useful for every beginner in the environmental field. It covers all basic important information!"
"The course should be mandatory for Phase I ESA report development. There is so much variation within the consultant industry over what is supposed to be in Phase I ESAs. This courses assists with understanding RECS and applying the ASTM standard."
