What our Diploma WHS graduates say
“WHS Diploma - Excellent Course- Well paced and very helpful and dilligent trainer Omid Aria”
“The first institute that I registered when I arrived in Australia. Although I was not familiar with the details thanks to disciplined process of CBD collage I easily entered the course and finished it. My teacher was Mr omid Aria one of the most experienced teachers that I have met. He is wonderfully supportive and helpful and I made me heave a great progress in WHS. Assessor team also are logically attentive and nothings to worry about assessment process😊. Thanks a lot for CBD college team.🌹🌹 Vahid Novin”
“I was involved in the WHS Diploma. My trainer, Omid Aria, was excellent and gave me the required knowledge to finish the course.”
“I completed a WHS Diploma at CBD College. Omid, my trainer, was thorough, engaging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!”
“Completed my certificate with CBD after doing some research on where to go. I'm glad I chose CBD, as my trainer was Omid who was perfect every step of the way! I was particularly nervous about completing tasks alone after the course however Omid made me feel like I had assistance through the entire process. I'm definitely glad I went to CBD and now feel more confident to continue further certificates through CBD”
“I done some research on where best to complete my certificate, and ended up selecting CBD College. I'm glad I did so. The teacher I had was Omid, who in every aspect delivers an outstanding performance. From his energy and personality through the delivering the actual course content, Omid made it so incredibly easy. Furthermore, I was fairly hesitant and concerned I'd be left to my own whims after the course and asked to complete the assessments alone. However, Omid once again assisted me without hesitation regardless how many questions or queries I had. I intend to further more qualifications down the track, and I feel it'll be an easy choice to select CBD again as a result of my experience. Thank you CBD, and Omid for everything thus far.”
“Excellent one day course encompassing safety in the construction work environment - good mix of learning materials, videos and providing real life examples to support our learning. Omid was a great trainer, provided ample time to absorb the materials and have sufficient breaks as there is a lot of material to cover.”
“If you were ever going to go for your Cert IV WHS then choice CBD college. The 5 day in class with Omid was very enjoyable and knowledgeable. I have decided to change careers and I am very glad to choice CBD College.”
“Thank you for the exceptional service provided by CBD College staff to me. I greatly appreciate Omid's assistance, approachability and dedication throughout completing the course.”
