We are a small warehouse team of three and have recently undertaken the Lithium Batteries by Air course online. I have to say we were so impressed with the training, presentation and the organisation of our exams under difficult circumstances due to lockdown and COVID 19. Paul and Lisa are both very friendly and approachable and have supported us all so well throughout the whole program. I would certainly recommend their training to anyone considering taking this course. I’m pleased to say we all passed which was a great result.

I am very impressed with how well presented the training was. The examination process was hassle free and I received my results within a day of sending the paper back. Would recommend.
