From first communications to issue of certificate the process has been so professional and seamless! So glad I chose this company to complete my course!Hayley McLean2023-11-26I recently pursued my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116) through RAM Training Services and was thoroughly impressed by their professional approach. Their utilization of webinars made learning engaging and interactive, bridging the gap often found in online education. The seasoned instructors were adept at elucidating complex concepts, making the learning journey both enlightening and enjoyable. Moreover, the convenience and flexibility of webinar sessions accommodated my schedule perfectly. The course not only honed my vocational training skills but also instilled a deeper understanding of the subject matter, preparing me for real-world applications. Highly recommend RAM Training Services for anyone looking to elevate their training and assessment expertise.Matt Seeley2023-11-01Great training organisation, professional, helpful and very impressive. This course helped me change my career path in a new and exciting direction. The training helped me achieve a successful new job, where I am very happy. Thanks RAM Training Services.Mark Cullen2023-10-30I know some people struggle to complete the TAE 40116. It can be quite involved. Doing RAM's 5 day intensive though helped me understand what needed to be done and set me up to be able to complete the course quickly. A word of advice: If you study this way complete the 'homework' immediately after the intensive (in the evening after each day) while the learning is fresh in your mind. If you leave it too long you will forget what to do which will make it more onerous to complete. It makes for a very busy week but you can break the back of the workload very quickly. Thanks RAM for providing the support needed to complete the TAE quickly.Alison Tooley2023-10-26I thoroughly enjoyed the Certificate IV Teaching and Assessment with RAM training. Chris was an outstanding facilitator who actually used the skills he taught. The course was cost effective.Roz Donohoe2023-10-20
