What our customers say:
Interaction between the class was awesome.
Peter delivered all course information in a very positive and professional manner. The way Peter’ training courses are designed promotes outstanding communication and interaction between himself and the class. I am not one for reading a whole heap of text, then sitting down answering questions. I feel by sharing the information delivery by each person reading a section, and then having a discussion about that topic is a great way to learn. It also allows discussions on topics we each see in the workplace from day to day and help us to understand what is expected of us as HSR’s. One of the most important things I got out of this course is where I can find the information I need to refer to when its needed. Also, Peter offers over the phone assistance where required, that is a great gesture on his part.
The only thing I would suggest for future courses would be possibly the implementation of name tags on the desks, so that we all can remember the names of the other people in our course.
Great job Peter, I really enjoyed your course. Keep up the great work!
I will recommend your coursed to everyone

Fantastic Course
An excellent training experience. A good balance of information required to learn the role but not too overloaded. Information was well presented and got everyone engaged. Lots of lived experienced stories to help retain the important points. A nice outing to see good examples of how OH&S practices can benefit from being pro-active and great food and coffee!
