Testimonials

I learnt more from the hands-on approach and it was good to see the theory and practical elements broken up to maintain interest. The course was delivered clearly and in a personable manner by the trainer. Great job!
HEIGHTS RESCUE STUDENTBrisbane (QLD) | April 2019
I was particularly impressed with the trainer. He was easy to approach and ask questions of. I had very little experience of height safety so I found the information and practical experience valuable.

GAS DETECTOR TRAINING STUDENTBRISBANE (QLD) | SEPTEMBER 2019
Brendan did a great job. I have had training with Brendan on a few occasions and he always keeps it interesting. Brendan also raises good points on mental health in a rescue environment, which is important in FIFO work.
HEIGHTS RESCUE TRAINING STUDENTBRISBANE (QLD) | OCTOBER 2019
The trainer has a strong experience in fire and emergency response and this was evident in the training. He was able to demonstrate the ideas to the class effectively and provide an outcome that was more than sufficient for my field of work.
