Today was a good training day. Tmi renewal. All questions and concerns i had were explained thouroughly and in a way i could understand. Went into depth and also 1 on 1 with the struggling moments. Thanks Jase k and upskills for ensuring safe work practices within the Traffic industry.
Sammy and Ash were very good presenters. The course materials were excellent with good explanations. The facility was good although they need cloths and a tea towel and maybe another toilet. There was a lot to take in including a number of acronyms and jargon to take in on one day but it was enjoyable. Well done
