All the company's trainers hold a Certificate IV in workplace training and assessment and have extensive experience working in the electrical and instrumentation industries.

Physical training and assessment aids

Training personnel utilise Competency Training's extensive collection of physical training and assessment aids to maximise the hands-on component of the courses, while ensuring that the underpinning knowledge is effectively transferred.

Their experience allows them to answer questions from participants clearly and meaningfully, relating the subject material directly to the workplace. This stimulates discussion and interaction between the attendees. Small class sizes facilitate this process.

The end result is training that connects with the participants and delivers the learning outcomes that employers require.
