Our Clients testimonials

Training with ESTR was an amazing experience, the trainers are excellent to work with and they make you feel comfortable and confident with everything they teach you. I will forever be grateful for my time at ESTR and hold on to the valuable information that was learned that doesn’t just come from a text book but from the trainers who have been in the industry themselves.

Essential Skills provide an interactive learning environment. The class was able to interact and converse with each other during each unit. Staff have worked in the industry and have great contacts with other workplaces to help students get jobs.

Essential skills were wonderful with the delivery of the course. The team were helpful, the subjects and topics were insightful and educational. Students were given the opportunity to collaborate ideas and express experiences to reflect on the core subjects. I have studied through many institutions, so far this has been the best one. I highly recommend Essential Skills.

Recently I attended my First Aid Training at Essential Skills I have nothing but good things to say from the first class facilities to the trainer I had that day and the friendly staff. I would highly recommend Essential Skills for any of your training needs.

Joanne S

Although this was my first time attending this kind of course, it was a great experience for me, as she was amazing and a great educator, made us all feel comfortable and had such good knowledge about all the different aspects and requirements in the course; Very knowledgeable and insightful. With such a wonderful educator she broke down my barriers, and within minutes I found myself fully relaxed and engaged in the subject. Everything was explained and applied in practice in a very detailed and easy way, everything went smoothly and clear, precise and overall, one of the best support worker sessions I have attended as it was very interesting. I highly recommend this provider “Essential Skills” to anyone.
