MEET OUR INSTRUCTORS

Mr. Carter was an effective teacher with clear lived experience of what he teaches. The class moved quickly but he made sure everyone was caught up and no one was left confused.

Learned a lot and in a fun and interesting way. The training was full of great knowledge to have.

I expected a week of boring "safety training" and instead, got EXACTLY the opposite! Our Instructor was knowledgeable, funny and delivered the materials in a way each of us could relate to! By the time Friday came round, our group was more like a team (thanks to the Trainer) and I was kind of sad to see it end. Excellent job, I'll definitely be back!
