At Giroscope we work with people who are often overcoming past negative experiences of education and are very anxious to even step into a training situation. Michelle is so knowledgeable that she effortlessly and sensitively adapts the content to ensure it is accessible for all participants, creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
Jodie Metcalfe, Westlinks
Michelle at First Hand Training has consistently delivered high-quality, engaging training for our teams. Most recently, she trained 25 of our staff in asbestos awareness and was more than accommodating, arranging an early 7am start to fit around our operational needs. The training was clear, practical, and relevant to real working environments, and Michelle’s knowledge and delivery kept everyone engaged throughout. Her flexibility, professionalism, and understanding of the construction and property sector make First Hand Training a provider we trust and would confidently recommend.
