Course reviews

I would wholeheartedly recommend this refresher training session to others.

I am the manager of a Cold Store and we pack frozen product for Coles.
The online refresher format was ideal for my situation as it is very difficult for me to leave the warehouse for study days.
I will refer my colleague to this format when her refresher is due next year.
