The Integrated Carpentry Tutorials class that Richard put on is absolutely top notch. There is no messing around with non relevant exam subjects and is straight to the point. After 7 years since last writing the challenging and confusing IP exam, I needed a refresher and I got a good one! My Code reading skills became laser fast, some of the math that I...

icag.biz/cialis-5785 I'm happy I had the structure of Richard's course. It was educational and provided everything I needed for the test. I had a lot of support from Richard and others in the course. If you've had hurdles in the past and you want this next try to be a pass give him a call. I don't regret it at all. - Anasia Campbell, Vancouver, BC

Richards course exceeded my expectations and did an amazing job in prepping me for my exam, which I passed with flying colours. The confidence I gained in Code and Math, as well as the Strategy Richard implemented in writing the test was a lifesaver. I couldn’t recommend the course more and would not have passed without it. Thanks Richard for the good...

I am so grateful to have taken Richard’s class. I had written the IP a couple times before and was unsuccessful for a number of reasons. I was feeling pretty discouraged as I had completed all 4 Levels with top marks and I have been successful in my trade. Richard's class was a huge help in narrowing down the information needed and explaining how the exam...

Richard, I absolutely loved your course. Not just because you helped me get my Red Seal, but because I am a much better carpenter because of it. I now know how to utilize my building code effectively, have all of my formulas embedded in my memory, and a crew of carpenters that I still communicate with regularly. You inspired us to support others getting...

The man knows what he is doing and his approach is not intimidating, he encourages an environment that creates an open dialogue which makes it easy to participate and have you feeling grateful to be a part of it. It’s clear he is passionate, he will more than match your commitment and he will continue to provide that support during, as well as after, you have succeeded (which, without a doubt you will).

Passed on the first write! Thanks a million Richard! Your course was definitely worth every penny my man! And to boot, I got a job offer letter the next day to run a framing crew but I needed to get my ticket to sign off hours, so I've got a lot riding on this. Your class and strategy was a huge help for sure and a time management saver! Thanks again...

Richard gets 5 ***** Stars and an A+. Richard and his course are life changing. I never had the confidence or thought I could pass the Red Seal carpenter exam. I was a carpenter for most of my life, but never had the schooling. After finding Richard’s course and getting my hours documented, I challenged the exam and passed on my 2nd attempt~!!! Richard was...

Looking for that added push or need to dial your Code and Math skills in? Well this is what you will get plus more! Richard’s method and pace is exactly what I needed to put me over that last hurdle. I pushed it off for years and being 44 this year, I decided I had to finish it. Richard’s training was all I needed to polish up my Code & Math skills. Also...

I took Richard’s Integrated Carpentry Tutorials in 2020 and came out a winner. He taught the math and theory I needed to know in a straight forward simple way. He informed and helped me focus on what I needed to study with a strategy that gave me confidence to succeed. His patience and commitment to his students is second to none. It was a pleasure to take...

I attended Richard Dickenson’s Integrated Carpentry Tutorials course in May 2021. His knowledge, guidance and personal strategy helped me gain my confidence in order to pass the Red Seal exam. I would highly recommend this course as Richard breaks it down and makes it very understandable. Thanks again Richard. Colby Fredrickson, Nanaimo, BC

Richard is my “CODE Yoda”. He made the Construction Math simple and easy to understand. If you’re looking for an Instructor who will take you to the Red Seal finish line, Richard is the Real Deal. Attending via ZOOM was a breeze. Thanks again, Richard. Rochelle Relyea, Victoria, BC

I took Richard’s Carpentry course in November 2020 to help prepare to write my Inter Provincial exam. He has a personal strategy method for students taking the exam and it was a life saver. I have always froze during tests and his strategy really helped my confidence! The way he teaches is much easier to understand than any other form I’ve been given. I...

My name is Nathan White, and I’m a small construction business owner and I came to Richard in need of my Red Seal. I was on my 3rd attempt and had got 68% and 69% previously and was extremely frustrated over the whole process. I had spent 100’s, if not 1000’s of hours studying Code and learning Maths and once I sat Richard’s course I realized I was going...

Richard's course was a great help to me in passing the interprovincial carpentry exam. I took the three weekend course, before starting I thought, this sucks I'm going to be wasting 3 weekends. But I was wrong the classes were very engaging and frankly entertaining. Richard's method of teaching you how to use the code book, not to memorize it, worked...

Richard Dickenson has gone above and beyond to help me pass my Red Seal Carpentry exam. The preparation, layout, and strategy makes the course easy to navigate. Richard teaches the course in such a way that is easy to follow and understand. He cares about his students and will give them 200%. He's gone as far as giving up his days off in order to ensure...

Without Richard’s support I would not have been successful win achieving my Red Seal in Carpentry. Richard’s knowledge of the subject is incredible, therefore no superfluous content was taught, only what was needed. Which was a LOT. In addition Richard’s style of teaching was incredibly pragmatic, for example I was struggling in ways that were different...

Hey Richard, I would just like to say I am thoroughly impressed with the structure of Integrated Carpentry Tutorials. It was a comfortable, fun and efficient way to attain the knowledge to properly prepare for the IP Red Seal Exam. I will say the nerves and anxiety were high after failing on my first attempt but the way you stuck with me and provided the...

The Integrated Carpentry Tutorials program was a huge help preparing to challenge the Inter-provincial Red Seal exam. I was supplied with great study and reference material and solid direction to get a study routine started. The online sessions were easy to access and I came away from each one feeling more confident and having better direction. No problem...

After failing my first attempt at the Red Seal Carpentry Exam by just a few points, I was back at studying but unsure where to start. The Carpentry Program Coordinator suggested I give Richard Dickenson a call and see if he could help me with my rewrite preparation. Richard was very accommodating to my schedule, as I was back to work and had only one more...

Whit can I say about this man, well I can tell ye if ye put in 100% he’ll put in 110%. Using ZOOM online I wis soon up tae speed wi the exam and how tae pass it. If yer haein problems wi...

I can honestly say without Richard there is no way I would have passed the Red Seal exam. Coming from Scotland I struggled to grasp the contents and terminology of the exam. Then I saw this Red Seal Refresher course online and signed up. This was the best decision I‘ve ever made. Richard is an excellent Tutor, his course is interesting, fun and most of all...

Heard about this course from my friend Tim who took it. Figured why not . I honestly believe I wouldn’t have passed without Richard’s course. He’s upfront, no BS and was there whenever I had a question. I took the course twice, once in person and once over ZOOM. If teachers were as helpful and taught like Richard does when I was a kid, I would have been...

I was fortunate enough to enrol in the refresher course to challenge my RedSeal with Richard Dickenson. The ZOOM classes are great, and I passed first attempt. If you’re serious about your career and want to get it right the first time, go to this course! - Clayton BrownVancouver, BC

So just wanted to start with saying taking this course was the best decision I could have made to challenge and pass my Red Seal exam. Richard made things very simple through learning how to master the code book, understand the exam's criteria as well as had no problem teaching me in the areas I was struggling in and making it crystal clear. I attended the...

I recently took Richard’s Red Seal Prep course online and I’m very thankful I did. I had the site experience but knew that I would fall short if I walked into the Exam blind. He was able to go through what would be covered on the Exam, simplify it, then work through multiple variations of how it may show up. Not only that, I became a master at maneuvering...

At 33 years old, I felt the passion to be more than a skilled labourer. I believed in the ‘TRADES’ and their potential for higher Income levels. My biggest ‘PROBLEM’ became – No Red Seal Certification. Noticing my income level was significantly less because of it, something had to be done. Red Seal Co-workers were earning approx. $12/hr more money, my...

Hi Richard, 2463-A Rosewall Crescent, Courtenay, BC V9N 8R9 We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for assisting Ryan in receiving his Red Seal.

Richard's course has helped me accomplish a dream and goal I had for myself for a very long time. He’s a master carpenter and a very respected teacher who is passionate about the trade and helping people with their careers in the trade. His webinars make the class so much easier to get to if you live far distances and still gives you the full...

After moving from New Zealand to Vancouver 3 years ago, I fell short on points when I applied for my Permanent Residency. I found that if I sat my Red Seal Exam (and Passed) my points would put me 4 Levels above where I was and make me more eligible. I sat the Exam and failed. I was given Richard’s number by two different friends and rang him straight...

"Richard puts on a great class to prep anyone for the IP Exam. I was planning on going there in person to take the class because I didnt think the ZOOM class would be personal enough but I was wrong. The ZOOM classes were a great way to learn from the comfort of of my own home. I had a clear view of the board Richard was writing on and discussions were...

"I was very impressed with Richard's course. It's obvious that he is committed and has a passion for helping Carpenters achieve their Red Seal and advance their career. I've taken a lot of courses lately, and I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable - Richard presents information in way that keeps you engaged, is relatable, and gives you the tools...
