TESTIMONIALS

“The relaxed training meant I was able to immediately interact with the other students which made learning fun.”

Aside from the knowledge that I have gained from training with Consider This Training, I also gained new friends. The relaxed training meant I was able to immediately interact with the other students which made learning fun. I was new to Australia and didn’t know anyone. When I joined CTT, I met people who I know will be able to call my friends for life. I have already started to recommend CTT to other people interested in bettering themselves in their chosen career.

“I don’t consider it ‘training’ as such because I am always having fun in class.”

Aside from my knowledge and experience that I gained from Consider This Training, I know I will be able to find better jobs in the future. I will recommend CTT to everyone, including everyone who listens to my radio show because I don’t consider it ‘training’ as such because I am always having fun in class.

“My income has increased, and continues to increase, as a result of my training. But it is not only about money, as I have found my own passion in helping people through Consider This Training.”
Training with Consider This Training (CTT) helped me understand what I must know about my daily tasks in my career. Not only that, I found CTT provides good and academically qualified trainers with experience in the field.
So, what do I love about CTT?
- I love CTT’s curriculum and how the course is designed to learn quickly and easily;
- I love how the trainers are ready to answer our questions, even outside classroom hours;
- I love how the trainers made me feel confident about the learning process, especially in allowing me to apply the theory in practical settings in aged care.
I was so inspired by CTT that I decided to become a volunteer in the aged care field.

Even better, my income has increased, and continues to increase as a result of my training. But it is not only about money as I have found my own passion in helping people through CTT.

I would recommend CTT to mothers, retrenched people, widows and widowers who are looking for a way back into the workforce.

Thanks CTT!

Juliet Uy, Footscray, Victoria
“I had some reservations about training with Consider This Training… after all what assurance they could give me that I could get a job after completing the course? Well, what a surprise! During my work placement…I was offered a job!”

I had some reservations about training with Consider This Training because I was new to Australia and I knew nothing about the course, such as how the training would be delivered and after all what assurance they could give me that I could get a job after completing the course. My scepticism was a result of having done short courses in the past which only achieving half-baked skills, or worse still, nothing at all.
But I gave CTT a chance because of a recommendation from a relative.

Well, what a surprise! I have reaped some really good benefits from studying at CTT. During a work placement at an aged care facility that I undertook as part of my training, I was offered a job! I know this is due to the fact that the training equipped me with the skills, knowledge and confidence to do the job well.

I am so proud of myself and I would recommend CTT to my friends, colleagues and anyone I meet because I know by studying with CTT, they’ll be on the right track towards their future.
