Need help finding the right course?

Teacher was excellent, very knowledgeable, very personable, didn’t shut people down. Absolute 10/10. When training people to be an assessor he should be the model they learn how to be like.

Great system of learning at the course. Not rushed with time for questions. Very supportive for my first HV switching course. Thumbs up

Was a great teacher and a very friendly people person, will be recommending courses to my company.

The trainer has vast experience and knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone completing EEHA training

Instructor new his subject mater very good

Was well presented no death by power point extremely practical best one I have completed

I’ve done this course a number of times and it can sometimes drag. The trainer made the course enjoyable and relevant to my job. I found his way of presenting easy to understand and he had a wealth of knowledge and experience that we could relate back to our own workplace.

Really enjoyed it, teacher was so good! Really approachable and passionate, it is such a dangerous task and I feel like I have been given amazing training to feel confident and ready to start switching. Thank you very much couldn’t recommend a better teacher.

I have left the course feeling a lot more confident in my abilities to complete my EEHA responsibilities at site. There was a lot of content but our trainer delivered it in a way that was not overwhelming.
