'Hi Jo,

I was on your course that started on the 30th July, you may or may-not remember but I was the exec corporate guy who decided a career change was in order!

It’s been a few weeks since the course finished and I just wanted to drop you a line saying thanks, I really enjoyed the course and learnt so much that that contributed to a solid foundation for further courses I’ve continued to undertake.

In fact I have already been able to share some of my newly gained knowledge with my brother-in-law who deals quite a lot with trade unions (referring to the legislation changes etc) and was able to help him put a short course together to make them aware of the recent OHS law changes.

So Jo, the learning was great, the experience was brilliant and would like to say again thank you. I will look you up on linked in because it would be wonderful to keep in contact.'

Jackie Hoy:

'That's ok, thanks so much for that. I really do appreciate how helpful you have been! The course has been amazing! The trainers you use are really great at teaching the classes and actually make you want to learn everything they know. 

I'll definitely be recommending this course and college to my colleagues.'

Anthony Bloomfield:

'Hi Leanne,

Firstly I just wanted to say thank-you for your lecturing last week. I really enjoyed the course and I thought you were an excellent trainer.

I got through the final assessment today despite being up all night with food poisoning so I am looking forward to the future.

I know I mentioned to you that the reason I was doing the course was to seek employment as a trainer using one of the qualifications that I hold.

I would love to train the first aid courses for CBD College as I have been impressed with the professionalism, learning environment and overall ethos that the college offers. Studying medicine makes employment during the weekdays difficult. However, I would be a reliable trainer for the saturday and sunday first aid courses that are offered at CBD college.

I would really appreciate your advice and input as to how I should proceed.'

Mark Raschk:

'Seriously a great course, great trainers, including the OHS with Steve.  

I wanted to give you feedback..  I will be recommending CBDCollege without any doubt, as the college provides exactly what a learner needs.  

Both groups I was in were focused, positive and a pleasure to do the course with, so in a nutshell, dont change anything, it is GREAT.'

Samantha Cass:

'Hey Scott,

How are you?

I just thought I would give you an email to let you know i passed (still waiting for the certificate in the mail though... )

Also, I started a new job as a safety officer with VODI JV in Gladstone, qld. They which stands for Van Oord Dredging international Joint Venture. I am specially employeed by dredging international. They are a pretty big company in Europe and as the name suggest the dredge (make bigger ports) and reclaim land (with the soil the dredge up they make land in another location).

I'm still getting my head around all of the work they are doing on site, it is pretty flat out at the moment. I like to call myself a trainee safety officer so they remember I don't have experience as they keep trying to throw me in the deep end. Haha

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks (remind u I might come do te tae) and let u know I am actually doing something with the piece of paper.'
