“I found this information training session fascinating, as well as illuminating.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the content and learning about the many religions/cultures present in Australia, and their beliefs and practices in terms of death and funerals.”
“Your informative training gave me a broader insight into various beliefs & cultural practices that I had limited knowledge of [though] I have worked in the industry for over 20 years in both private & local government environments.”
“What was impressive was the interactions between trainer and participants – everyone participated evenly. The trainer was always open to new ideas and points of view, and didn’t overrule or talk over anyone.”
“I found the course excellent."
