Whitlow Smoke School Current Fees

Whitlow does the job right the first time with one day training programs. With over 30 years experience we know smoke school. We work with you until you understand the fundamentals so you can pass the test quickly and get back to work. We teach you the secrets of how to pass the test the first time. You save money by avoiding the waited extra days of training trying to pass the EPA Method 9 Certification Test. We save you money in manhours and hotel rooms. Use the best. We are not the cheapest but we are the best, without a doubt.

We do appreciate it if you can pay your fees in advance. However you are not required to pay your fees in advance. We mail your certificates within 3 weeks of the school date even if the fees are unpaid. I am a retired Louisiana DEQ inspector and I know that during inspections, you need to present a certificate. Let us know if you need your certificate sooner and we can fax it to you. We accept purchase orders, checks, and all credit cards. If you have paid your fees in advance and decide to cancel your school, you can choose any other school on the schedule at no extra cost. We can also give you a credit due for your next school.

Several of you are entitled to discounts or free smoke school- see below. Be sure to indicate this when you register.

  Home Grown Tomatoes

  There's nothin' in the world that I like better than
  Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
  Up in the morning and out in the garden
  Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
  Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer
  All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
  I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
  Every time I go out and pick me a big'un
  

  Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
  What'd life be without home grown tomatoes
  There's only two things that money can't buy
  That's true love and home grown tomatoes
  
  You can go out and eat 'em, that's for sure
  But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure
  You can put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
  You can make your own, very own tomato juice
  You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy
  You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
  Put em on the side, put em on the middle
  Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
   

  If I could change this life I lead
  You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
  I know what this country needs
  It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
  When I die don't bury me
  In a box in a cold dark cemetery
  Out in the garden would be much better
  Where I could be pushin' up home grown tomatoes
  
  Listen to Home Grown Tomatoes

I WANT YOU to come to smoke school.

The Whitlow team includes 4 retired Louisiana DEQ employees and other very qualified team members dedicated to routine maintenance, quality control, and customer service. With over 100 years combined experience in environmental protection and smoke school we are the experts. We choose locations with your comfort in mind. Each location has a convenient classroom, clean restrooms, a shelter form sun and rain, and a contrasting background for reading smoke. We serve you free hot coffee, fresh donuts, cold bottled water, sodas, and a great lunch at each location.  We desire to make you feel at home. We calibrate our equipment electronically and visually with the human eye before, during, and after each smoke school. We check the zero drift before and during each test run. If the zero is off, everything is off. We take our time giving the test, so you can keep up. We give precise instructions on how to take the test. If you pay close attention and bring a positive attitude, you will pass sooner than later. If you are having difficulty understanding what to do prior to the actual test, please ask for assistance. We are prepared to stay at each location until you certify to become a smoke reader. Remember, patience and attitude are everything. Be prepared. The first test run each day will take a little longer because we take the time to teach you how to take the test. Additional test runs will be quicker. Historically, most people pass by the third run because of our exceptional teaching skills. If necessary, we will retest until dark.

We would love for you to try Whitlow Smoke School and see the difference. If you have previously registered for, and paid for another upcoming smoke school by another provider, then send in a copy of your receipt along with your registration and you can attend your first Whitlow Smoke School free. What a deal!

We always provide hot coffee, fresh donuts, ice cold water, soft drinks, and great tasting lunches at each location. If you prefer a certain type of food please let us know before the school and we will try to accommodate your tastes.

Initially, we will choose smoke school dates compatible with previous smoke school providers. Eventually, we will provide additional dates in the hope of milder weather.

Welcome to Whitlow Smoke School and welcome to customer service. We are a Disabled Veteran owned and family operated small business and we are a member of the Better Business Bureau.

Please pass all of this information to your employees. Thanks for coming.

Lets go Pilgrim,

we are burning up daylight.
