What our customers say:
Cert IV in WHS
Pete’s vast knowledge and experience in safety and leadership programs has made the sessions interesting . He’s very engaging and true to his word. From day 1 he said ring him whenever we have any question- he has never failed to pick up his phone up to the very last module. The combination of online and face to face sessions made the study really worthwhile. Thanks Pete, an absolute legend!
HSR Level 3 Training
Peter was great as always. Good facilities for training and a well set out course.
HSR level 2 Training course
Peter is very knowledgeable and engaging. He has a wealth of experience in multiple areas and is able to link experiences with the course content which helps drives the message. His passion for Health and Safety is shown through how much he wants to help each participant get what they need by listening to experiences and providing knowledge and resources to guide them. He also created a feeling of a safe space to share and discuss issues and experiences openly. I really enjoyed the fast pace learning. I am looking forward to completing my level 3 training with him next year and highly recommend you do the same 🙂
HSR Level 1 Training Course
Peter is very informative and has a passion for Health and Safety. Peter kept us engage and watch some not so lovely videos 😵💫
Thank you for your insights and all the information that you provided. I highly recommend this course!
Engaging and interactive training
This course was one of the most engaging that I have undertaken.
Peter is passionate about safety and makes what could otherwise be a quite dry topic entertaining, and personalised. Participants are given the opportunity and space to share personal experiences and concerns which in turn assists in embedding the learning.
I would highly recommend this course for HSRs.
