It was fantastic to have Jessica come in and train our team. The course was highly appropriate for our support centre and I believe each individual benefited from the training provided. Jessica did a fantastic job of engaging each of the staff members and had each of them contribute to the day. She tailored the training to our specific requirements and worked on the fly where needed to get the most out of our team. Ryan has done a great job to sort through any concerns or initial reservations that I had in regards to training and helped pick the right course for our team. Overall a really great experience and I will be recommending follow up courses to my management team in future.

Congratulations to Michaela. She involved all participants in the activities/discussions and was very flexible in how parts of the discussion went and then easily brought us back to the main aim of the course. Her summations was great as well.

Karen was great! Energetic, encouraged a laugh and it didn't like a boring training course at all it was educational yet fun!!
Holcim
Fantastic Trainer - look forward to her presenting other courses that I will be invited to. The course reminded me to apply my customer skills so that customers can get 100% satisfaction.
Holcim
One of the most beneficial courses i have ever attended. Anne was very helpful and professional. She is worth more money.
Holcim
I would just like to say that the course was a lot of fun and certainly gave insight to things I had not been aware of before even though I have spent many years in Customer Service. Thanks for a great experience.
Metcash
Having been to many seminars and courses over the years, it was refreshing to have an overview of the experiences I have gained. I guess the most useful part of the course was the "up-to-date" customer greetings face to face and over the phone. Time change I guess. I enjoyed the interaction with my fellow workers and the chance to have my own input.
R&S Trading
I found that team work was really helpful and talking bout what everyone else has experienced and how to deal with it.
Clockwork
The presentation was very professional & the subject is a big part of our day to day life dealing with clients, fellow workers & family/friends.
MGA Insurance Brokers Ltd
Speaker was great! very funny and made it a bit more fun! :)

Anne was great - very engaging - I felt that I can use the tools she has given me.
Dept. of Sustainability Environment Water Population and Community
Trish did a fantastic job with our slightly dysfunctional group. Her background knowledge on neurology and the way the brain works in terms of 'being present' and 'above the line' was GREAT! To be honest I thought this course was going to be dull and bland but experienced the complete opposite, would recommend a training session with Trish anytime!
Armada Solutions
Trisha delivered the session in a great way, I was impressed with her knowledge and I believe we gained good value out of the exercise.
Armada Solutions
Love the way the course was set out very fun and friendly.
Department of Health
I though Ann was absolutely FANTASTIC. Very friendly, outgoing and fun without being unprofessional. Easy to listen to and understand - you have a great trainer on your hands!
The Sound Alliance
Thank-you Simon. The day left me feeling positive and refreshed ready to go forward with many new and revamped ideas.
Almax Aluminium
I was a bit skeptical about this, as I usually am with these sort of things. But I found it to be a really enjoyable & easy experience, and I feel that everyone in the course not just myself could take a lot away from it.

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.

live online & hybrid

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.
