Thank you Peter for a great three days! It was fantastic to get up to scratch and re-invigorated for the role, which at times can feel like an up-hill battle.

Your experiences across various industries makes the course very relatable and your guidance practical and applicable to a wide range of workplaces.

I highly recommend Paragon WHS to anyone seeking training for their role as an HSR.

Great week of training from Peter. A lot of relevant real world examples to help my understanding of the content. The discussions and questions shared by other attendees were well guided by Peter and it also helped to build my understanding.

Peter brings a depth of experience that transforms what could otherwise be a dry subject into an engaging and highly impactful learning experience. His use of meaningful, real-world storytelling brings the content to life, making complex concepts accessible and relevant. By consistently linking key topics to practical examples and familiar workplace scenarios, he reinforces not only understanding but also the critical importance of health and safety in everyday practice.

Equally impressive is Peter’s facilitation style, which fosters open and inclusive conversation. He creates a space where participants feel comfortable contributing, sharing their perspectives, and learning from one another. This collaborative approach enriches the session, ensuring that the learning experience is not only informative but also interactive and deeply valuable for all involved.

Peter was a great presenter. The material can be quite technical and confusing but with real life scenarios it made it very easy to understand. The class was fun and the variety of work groups made it interesting to health and safety in other industries. Peter’s knowledge and experience is amazing. Lunch was great to!

Peter was an exceptionally engaging and knowledgeable trainer who transformed what could have been a dry subject into an interesting and enjoyable learning experience. His real-life stories and examples made the content easy to relate to and understand. Peter demonstrated extensive WHS knowledge throughout the course, and I gained valuable insights and practical understanding from his training. His ability to deliver the material in an informative yet enjoyable way kept participants engaged and made the learning experience both rewarding and memorable.

Where do I begin. Pete was an amazing trainer. The course throughout the 5 days was well-structured, engaging and easy to follow. Pete explained concepts clearly while providing practical examples, which made learning enjoyable and effective. I have gained valuable tools that i can apply in the workplace. Pete also is always a phone call away offering this support and advise. Highly recommend joining in this course. Thanks again Pete 🙂

Our Year 2 HSR course was a highly valuable and engaging experience. The legislation and regulations were delivered in a way that felt practical and relevant, with strong links to real-life scenarios that helped bring the content to life. There were plenty of opportunities for participants to raise site-specific concerns and seek meaningful guidance.

Peter was both knowledgeable and engaging throughout the course. He has a real talent for presenting complex or potentially dry material in a way that captures attention and maintains interest. His use of relatable stories and examples made the content easy to understand and apply in the workplace.

Our HSR year 2 course was an enjoyable place to go through the legislation and regs with lots of connections to real life stories and opportunities for participants to seek guidance on issues of concerns at their own sites.

Peter was very engaging and knowledgeable. He made what could be a boring course into one of interest. His stories made the content relatable. I enjoyed Peter coming to my workplace and having a laugh ! Will always think of health and safety when I’m having my coffee !

Peter was very knowledgeable WHS and l learnt a lot from the course. To facilitate the course like he did made the course enjoyable and informative at the same time.

Peter’s experience and knowledge shone in the HSR training. The learning was engaging and cemented in real world examples from his own experience. Peter went above and beyond by incorporating a presentation from the regulator and a site visit to a local company practicing a gold standard of safety. The training has empowered me to represent my workgroup as a HSR.

Peter’s passion and knowledge for WHS is second to none. His ability to read the room and engage with the trainees is on point. The way that he delivers his training course will ensure you leave educated in all aspects of WHS and wanting more. I can’t recommend Peter enough, also he offers his services well after training has been completed. Thanks for everything Pete very much appreciated.

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!

Peter was great as always. Good facilities for training and a well set out 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 🙂

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!

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.

This training was very informative and interesting. Peter kept a good pace , giving us time to process the information and share our experiences and thoughts.

Peter is a SME on Workplace safety. Organised, understood and focussed on regular breaks.

Passionate about the subject, placing emphasis on rights and regulations of the worker.

Ensuring knowledge and information is delivered clearly to each individual.

Placed importance on student interaction and involvement.

Workbooks are clearly set out with space for notes, great eye-opening videos.🤐

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

This course offers excellent value by equipping participants to effectively manage safety challenges and ensure a safer work environment.

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!

Very interesting informative presentation on WHS regulations updates provided by Peter of Paragon. Peter has the ability to keep the class attention all day.. every day.. l thoroughly recommend Paragon anyday.

I completed my certificate 4 and HSR training through Paragon WHS. Peter is very knowledgeable, great sense of humor and has a way of keeping things interesting. One of the best trainers I’ve experienced in any WHS training I have been apart of! Cant recommend enough!

Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed learning style and the use of share knowledge to facilitate conversations that were relevant and educational. Peter is passionate about safety in the workplace and empowering others to make their workplaces safe. A great course.

I really enjoyed HSR training delivered by Peter. His non-conventional approach and lived experience made the learning experience enjoyable and allowed me to absorb the learning materials and confidently go forward and full fill my role as a HSR representative. I highly recommend Paragon training and look forward to future training. And it would be silly of me not to mention the amazing pub lunches and premium coffee and snacks Peter provided.

The training centred in on the core points of the material without getting too bogged down. Peter did a great job as a facilitator getting everyone to contribute and get engaged.

Peter set his training a mark ahead of the mundane by finding real world examples to illustrate his points and relating the material to the specific interests of the participants.

Also… you can’t complain getting your choice of food off the Christies Beach Hotel menu.

I’d like to thank and commend Peter for making the 5 day training such an enjoyable experience.

Not only does Peter bring his vast knowledge from many industried into the classroom, he also did a great job encouraged each student to get involved. The group dynamic he fosters works really well to keep everyone engaged – Highly recommended for the HSR Level 1, I’ll be making sure to return to Peter for any future HSR training requirements.

The catering and the venue were amazing.

Peter delivers his training in an engaging and enthusiastic way. He relates the training back to your individual workplace. His level of knowledge and experience is vast, having worked across many industries. Catering was top notch, who doesn’t love a pub lunch!
