I believe the managers in local government would benefit from this course. I found the support processes were extremely helpful and the adaptability of the training staff to cater for my needs while holding a full time job were well done.” – John Casey 

“I think the course was an accurate reflection on what I’ve been doing for the last 6 years and confirmed the policies and processes relating to the workforce/workplace were relevant.
