"Found the trainer fantastic, kept on track and engaged. The course was relevant and met all my expectations. Highly recommended and discussed this with my colleagues when I returned to my workplace. 5 STARS"
-City of Gold Coast
"It is such a busy time of year & I wish I had more time to review the ground (& notes) covered by the course, to help consolidation. But I was determined to attend as it is an area that has already caused me problems, and I am very pleased I was able to rearrange my timetable so I could make it. And the notes (from my quick glance) are easy to read, review and absorb, tools I know that will be useful well down the track as I negotiate the inevitable challenging issues ahead of me. The energy, knowledge, empathy, commitment and common sense of the trainer was also impressive and an inspiration."
-National Library Of Australia

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day. I thought the content was most relevant and I found that I can definitely apply the learnings within my work environment."

QLD Department of Corrective Services
