I just wanted to thank you again for making this such an enjoyable and easy process. I feel like I have learnt so much from not only the course, but your experiences also. I think your teaching style adds a lot of value to the course. Having an open discussion and hearing everyone else, how their companies work and how they do/ don’t do certain things is invaluable.

The course structure was perfectly arranged. The facilitator delivered great content, using real-time and relevant scenarios. I would highly recommend St John Advanced Training as your first option for further education
Jesse Schwenke
Certificate IV Leadership & Management Graduate
I am so happy that I chose to study with St John. The course content was not too difficult and I felt very supported throughout the entire course. There was always help available if I needed it and the trainer was very fun to learn with.
Lisa Hartley
Certificate IV Leadership & Management Graduate
All the sessions were always informative and engaging. Walking away from those made the workbook a breeze to get through. Deb does an amazing job at making sure everyone’s view is valued and that everyone has a turn to speak up, learn and grow.
