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.
The trainer was an extremely knowledgeable instructor. His delivery of the course was outstanding and he is very friendly and approachable.

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