It by far has been the best course I have ever attended and to say that it was life changing is an understatement. “I got it”, I mended relationships and speak up for myself, and this is huge! So thank you and I seriously want my children to experience this as I know it will enable live powerful lives and not wait 50 years to learn it.

Jo Smith was a fantastic trainer. It was a good concept to train just
with the staff from our company as there wasn't time wasted trying to accommodate
other people/company requirements.

the extent he worked on a specific query I had prior to the course commencing.

I was surprised at how much fun we had, how engaging the trainer was,
how much we learnt. The content was well structured and clear, the training
notes helpful. Phil was a great trainer - it was a fun day. The manual is
very clear and great as a reference tool for future use.

Philip was a great trainer, very personable and involved.
Kangan Library and Learning Centre
Our instructor Phillip was fantastic. He called before the course to
get a good understanding of our requirements. On the day he asked the group
what their aims were for the training and ensured all these aspects were
covered. He managed to make what many of us assumed was a "dry" training
day interesting and very practical. It was excellent.
Kangan Library and Learning Centre
The facilitator was very energetic and knowledgeable on this and other
relevant Microsoft software programs showing how the integration would assist
our learning outcomes.

Was a great learning environment with a facilitator that really tries
to make the course relevant to your needs but also interesting.

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.

At the completion of training participants are encouraged to create an action plan, and invite an accountability buddy via their Orgmenta App.
In your Training Management Centre you have transparency to the action plans so you can see what people are going to do differently.
Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts,
and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
It’s surprisingly easy to make it so that your system can automatically be up to date with all the training record details you need.
