Wayne and Graeme did an outstanding job with the Switchboard, EWP and Live Pole Rescue training. What I really liked was that they didn’t just run through the course material and send us on our way. They took the time to explain why things are done a certain way and made sure everyone actually understood what they were doing before moving on. Both of them brought a lot of real-world knowledge and experience into the training, which made a massive difference. The practical side was excellent and they were always happy to answer questions or go back over something if anyone wasn’t sure. The training was professional but also relaxed enough that you felt comfortable asking questions and getting involved. I came away from the courses with a much better understanding and confidence in what I had been taught. A big thanks to Wayne and Graeme for the effort they put in. Definitely some of the best hands-on training I’ve done and I’d highly recommend them both.

Over the years I’ve attended many first aid courses. With this course I learned many new things that have not been presented before which took my specific knowledge to a greater level. Carla Pinder is a brilliant comprehensive instructor. Thank you, great training.

Completed CPR and First Aid today with Carla. A great course, the online pre work is comprehensive and easy to understand. The practical component was well delivered by Carla. She showed great patience and was fantastic at ensuring we understood the concepts and were able to practically demonstrate.
