Course content and facilitator very professional and relevant to our needs. Delivery was flexible to suit current business requirements.

-John Allison/Monkhouse Funeral Directors

It was all very informative and very relevant to our line of work.

-Endeavour Foundation

The most useful part of the course was the appeal to my staff members who are aged between 17-55. I really appreciated that Troy the trainer adapted the course to suit our needs. We will definitely look at booking future courses with PD training:)

-Bindarra Daycare

Jill related to the group extremely well and delivered an interesting course content.

-A.H. Beard

It was evident that the trainer had a lot of experience on the subject, was attentive and responded to questions in a clear and unbiased manner. If that is an indication of the other trainers than we will be in touch.

-ASP Ship Management

Very happy with the training especially our Trainer Jack. Its great to have flexibility and understanding to the training schedules where we had an in-house Saturday training to suit our business needs. He made the training fun and productive. Will definitely recommend for others to use.

-Mariana Shipping

Will recommend for any supervisor or team leader with in DHL.

-DHL Supply Chain

Book was good to keep for reference about communicating with different personalities. Thanks :) Hey communication is a two way street... this is a course our entire workforce will be doing.

-Borehole Wireline

It was very beneficial to find out the different personality types with in our team. Ann was a fantastic trainer and made the 3hrs very enjoyable.

-Your World Aged Care Services Australia Pty Ltd

It was a knowledgeable session. I am glad I attended, as I found out about my personality style and that of others.

-Intelerad

One of the best training sessions I have attended.

-Contract Resources

We have another class today, but this was the best training course I have ever attended.

-Offshore Marine Services

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will take away a lot of useful ideas. Alexandra certainly knows her subject.

-Metcash/IGA

The day was fully informative and material delivered in an excellent way.

-Metcash/IGA

Julie was great. She was very keen to discuss our issues, but was very solutions driven and as a result we walked away with practical ways and new procedures to tackle any issues we have. This was terrific!

-Iceworks Design Pty Ltd

Learnt a lot! And had a really good time.

-Nak Hair

Anne was very good. She was very quick to respond and was very relevant! she answered every question and the discussion was thorough but not boring. She is very smart and very good at her job.

-Fertility First

The interaction required with all of us attending the course was fun and brought out our thoughts on things that were relevant to us in the course. It was a great day Thank you!

-Corbett Homes

For me the course was valuable in learning more about how I communicate with others and providing me with the skills to be more assertive and express my view points to others. The day was fantastic, as it was focused on everyoneÆs own ideas of where they required support and extra resources to use. Our trainer was brilliant, she was a true professional when it came to listening to everyone and their own ideas of where they needed support, even the not so forthcoming ones. I really enjoyed the day, and took home some very valuable tools that I can use with colleagues, committee members and parents who access our service. I feel with time I can strengthen and develop my own assertiveness and skills for saying no and not feeling guilty later on for doing so.

-Eureka Community Kindergarten Association

I thought the training was very beneficial and really enjoyed myself.

-Hyder Consulting

Found that the trainer was very good and perceptive with the group. Thanks very much for a great and insightful day.

-Royal Academy of Dance

Very good training. I gained a lot from the trainer as well as the training itself thank you.

I found the whole day very interesting. I was jut great to be able to communicate with the educator to be able to feel free and comfortable to ask questions and for the educator to take the time to work with us. I would fully recommend this course to my work facility.

Fantastic, Anne was amazing and worked really well with the group. She was even willing to stay back after the session had finished to discuss specific questions and situations.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context

Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
