All involved enjoyed the training course now it’s up to the staff to take these tools and apply it to their daily work. Joseph catered the course for the different issues we are having in our office in regards to the phones and delivered it well. We found the training course very useful and relevant for our work. Joseph was very clear with his communication and it was great that the course was interactive. All staff that attended were very pleased with the presentation.

Trainer was fantastic and engaged with everyone in the room. Would recommend pd training to others.
Department of Infrastructure and Transport

Ross was fabulous, easy going, and the feedback from staff is the most positive I've heard. Usually they are a pretty cynical bunch about training, but they really enjoyed the training and got a lot from it.
Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations

It was an awesome session, even though we had little time, I really enjoyed it. The most important thing that I learned was "Treat people the way they want to be treated not the way you want yourself to be treated".
Hastings Deering (Aust) Ltd

I thought Annette's enthusiasm was infectious. She kept us on track and interested. I think she is the best trainer I've ever done a course with.
Hastings Deering (Aust) Ltd

It was very good. The trainer made good effort to obtain active participation from all. Was a friendly and entertaining environment. The small group made it an informal but proactive set up.

I was delighted with the day and gained so much that I will apply to my position. Karen was an outstanding presenter and I will now look to undertake other courses. With thanks.

We will definitely use you again for the Professional Telephone course as the notes and de-brief from the candidate was very comprehensive.
Altitude Financial Group

Our staff member attended the training session & came back enthusiastic about the class. She took notes & brought back some great rebuttals to our customer complaint calls. Thank you.
Collins Restaurants Management Pty Ltd

Megan allowed me to ask her any specific questions I had related to the course topic. She also tailored the course to suit our needs. The venue was amazing. I have never seen such a fun reception area in my life! There were too many lollies though. It's hard to concentrate when you're having a sugar crash after a morning tea consisting of chocolate bars. Was glad that some fruit was served as well... The manual is useful and I have already started referring back to it for key information we learned at the course. Thanks for a great day.
APP Corporation Pty Ltd

Karen was a delight to have a as trainer, she was enthusiastic and very helpful and the lunch that pd training provided was excellent.
