Trish (Trainer) did a fantastic job with our slightly dysfunctional group.

Courseware was very specific for my needs and I found that it will benefit me long-term.

- Time Management - Debbie Elliott & Justine Coleman - Human Resources - Goondiwindi Regional Council

I’m very impressed by pd training … they specifically selected one of their specialist facilitators to run the session which then made it possible for us to discuss our requirements further and tailor the course we had selected to suit our particular needs.

I’m very impressed with both the service we received from pd training and the excellent skills of the facilitator, Anne, who ran the 2 day course.

- Meeting Management - National Film and Sound Archives

The technique of listening and communication is very helpful to me and my workplace and personal life.
- Assertiveness and Self Confidence - AAPT

Trainer adapted content to suit my needs. Not only did I learn skills but it changed my understanding of what assertiveness really is, and encourages and enables me to change to become an assertive person (from within), rather than just adopting assertive skills (on the outside), which is a goal I now feel inspired to achieve. Trainer was excellent - very attentive, helpful and competent. I enjoyed the day very much and it was a very positive experience for me indeed. Wish to pass on my huge thanks and appreciation to Helen my trainer.

But it was a great experience and a great certificate to now add to my resume! Thank-you pd training!

The whole experience and content was excellent. Thank you very much.

The course was great. I wish I had the opportunity to do a full day and maybe a little role-play.

The most useful aspect - being able to address scenarios that relate to my situation specifically, great models that can be applied, better understanding of types of people.
- Participant from a public scheduled Conflict Resolution Training class

The trainer gave lots of tips on how to handle stress and emotions. She was also very knowledgeable about her subject and used the real situations of participants to show how theories could be applied to any situation, being it corporate or on a lower level dealing with person to person situations. The course was most beneficial.
- Participant from a public scheduled Conflict Resolution Training class

- Participant from a public scheduled Train the Trainer Training class

I really enjoyed this training. I have been on many courses of late but this course with Emma is the best for me personally. I have learnt so much and feel really good about my attitude and direction in work now.
- Participant from a public scheduled Train the Trainer Training class

Recently we had the pleasure of having Kim come in and train us in Train the Trainer. We opted for a dedicated training session and it was worth its weight in gold. Kim was able to tailor the training to suit our specific needs. Much of what she said was common sense but rather than ‘thinking’ it, she reinforced that it really was that easy and gave us some fantastic tips to be able to train competently, confidently and most importantly effectively. All the guess work was taken out and replaced with useful tips, facts and a lot of fun!

Jack (trainer) was great in the feedback and allowed us to practice which in turn helped us achieve overcoming nerves and the do's and don'ts of presenting. Due to the number of people, Jack was able to give us direct coaching.

I just wanted to pass on my thanks for providing such an excellent service and a wonderful presenter in Karen. She was fantastic - gauged the capacity and 'feel' of the group perfectly and both made the group perfectly comfortable and challenged them at the same time.

I have already received expressions of interest from participants who wish to use your services (and in particular Karen!) in the future and will pass on your details with my highest recommendations!

Thank you for the time and energy you put into making sure that the product we received was exactly what would address our needs - the results were fantastic and the feedback has been overwhelming.
