Five stars all the way. If your serious about the balloon business and want to invest in yourself then this is for you. I’ve been to lots of conventions and taken training classes from some of the best instructors in the balloon industry and this is one of the best I have ever taken. In my mind it didn’t cost me a thing because it was an investment that will pay dividends and make me money in the future and much faster than if I hadn’t attended this great training. It was just what I needed when I needed it. A great hands on learning experience from a great instructor. Ben Rines is one of the best! - Roger R
Balloon Training Institute is hands down one of the best balloon decor training courses I have ever taken. The instructors are very knowledgeable. The hands on techniques you learn are wonderful and my favorite part is the continued support! - LaToya S
Amazing! And the pictures of what students learn do NOT even do it justice. If you want to take your business to the next level then you need to sign up to learn from Ben and Billy! - Terina G
Absolutely the BEST ! I graduated from my class in May 2015. I was already an accomplished balloon twister but had absolutely no experience in decor. Ben really went all out to give us as many techniques as possible in the short amount of time (5 days can go by really fast!). From the basics of tying knots to creating impressive balloon drops! I enjoyed the informal way Ben led his class - after valuable theory with non stop Q & A (we had lots of questions!), we were encouraged to work on various projects. Some were simple while others were extremely elaborate. Ben & Billy were both very encouraging and gave us all the confidence we needed to build our projects. We learned how to use top of the line equipment and had access to all the balloon supplies you could imagine! At the end of the week, with so many techniques that I had been exposed to and that each project was mandatory hands-on, I knew that I would be successful with this endeavor. Billy's expertise on balloon decor framework increased the value of this workshop as I was able to create elaborate designs within a few weeks of graduating. It's been only 4 months since I've taken this workshop and have already landed several major jobs. One of the most valuable aspect of this class was Ben's (and Billy's), continued dedication to help us each succeed with our new business's. Several times I've had to call on their expertise and they've always made themselves available to me to provide excellent advice. I'd recommend this class to anyone looking to start a fun business - certainly there is a minimum investment but profit margins being so high, you can easily & quickly see a return on your investment.

(Second Review) Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm so happy I came to your program. Before I was introduced to the Balloon Training Institute Curriculum, I was working with a few clients providing decor or baby showers and birthday parties. Since graduating from the balloon training institute I have built the confidence to expand my business gaining more clientele by offering more advanced designs and improving the overall quality of my work. Three months after taking the course I landed my first corporate event which was one of my goals coming into the balloon training institute. I am currently preparing to take the CBA examination. I love the feedback that helps me grow. LaToya Stevenson - Operation Celebration

Our student from Haiti says.....
Geraldine D. Eliscar
November 10 at 10:43am ·After my trip to Tennessee, I have remained silent not because I have nothing to say but I made a promise to Ben Rines and Billy Muncy that once I return to Haiti, I would work hard to have my QBN and today I’m proud to say that I have my QBN number.
It’s not yet done. It’s just the first step and I know I have much more to do. The second step I’m working on is my CBA and I wish I could attend the WBC 2016 to achieve it. Oh God ! I can’t wait ! That would be a plus for me and would help me improve in that area and as a CBA, my clients will have more confidence in me and in what I do.
Back to Tennessee, Ben Rines and Billy Muncy, I don’t know what to say. “Fight for what you believe in” is one of my favorite quotes and during my stay at Tennessee, I felt it, I lived it and I believe in it every day, thanks to those wonderful men, Ben Rines, Billy Muncy and Steven Jones. My second quote is the following : “Do what you love”. I don’t know how to describe that feeling I caught in their eyes, the passion felt in each explanation given to the audience, their overall ability, and every single little detail.
It was not just a training. I met wonderful people that I will never forget, Ally Roberts, Francine Christopher, Louise Watkins Cba, Hill Duart, Maureen Dougher, Leslie Arnold, Liz Romani, Denise E. Bennett-Parris, Tandra Bell, if I forget a name, sorry, you are all incredible. We had a beautiful parade through Gatlinburg with the Minions. Thank you for your kind attention, your friendship and I’m certain that I will see you soon.
I can never thank you enough for this remarkable training, I learnt a lot from each of you and my wish for Ben Rines and Billy Muncy ,is to see the Institute grow. And to Steven Jones, that you continue to enjoy going on tours to teach everyone and who knows maybe one day you will answer to my invitation to pass by Haiti.
Thanks to all of you! You are all in my heart forever!
Love you all!

Shout out to Ben & Billy! They were wonderful hosts for the Linked balloon class.. I ordered Conwin equipment through Ben yesterday and it arrived at my store first thing this morning! This class was amazing & Ben and Billy made it a great overall experience. I would recommend that everyone check out the Balloon Training Institute !!!
Wonderful! ! Hands on training and experience! ! Plenty of support after the class is finished. I am so much confident in my work now because I took this amazing class. Ben and Billy not only taught me how to create beautiful classic decor but how to save money and time doing so. I recommend this class to anyone that wants to start a balloon decorating business. Well done Ben and Billy!
