Nice little note from one of our staff on your company’s training. See below, thought you might like to see!

Just a quick note to say Thank-you for organising my Truck License , I have completed all the required training and have passed the driving exam. Major Training were very professional in all dealings I experienced with them. Dion has started his training today and I expect him to pass with flying colours.

Randall

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to say thank you to all of your staff that made me feel welcome when I came to your premises to do my lessons in your trucks.

I felt at ease from the beginning and all your staff from reception to trainers made me feel as if I was the only one there.

I achieved my HR licence owing to their attention to detail and persistence in their training.

Please pass on my thanks.

Yours sincerely

Phyllis
would like to express my thanks and congratulations, to Major for helping me acquire my licence upgrade to MC. I found the staff helpful, courteous and understanding of my needs. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my two most capable instructors, Neville and Kevin. I found there instruction clear and concise and their patience and level communication skills outstanding.

Thank you for this opportunity. I will refer Major to anyone who requires this type of training without hesitation.

warm regards,

Bret Youngs

I would just like to thank you and your staff for your help during my recent refresher training at Major Training at Dinmore.
I would also like to give a special thanks to Ashley, my driving instructor, through his patience and understanding, made me feel very comfortable during my lessons.
I found his knowledge of the heavy transport industry invaluable and his approach to training very professional.
Once again, thank you again to you and your staff. Kind regards

Mark
My training and testing was split between Morayfield and Yatala last Monday and Tuesday (20th and 21st). At Morayfield John was my trainer and at Yatala Tony took me for my final run prior to testing. Both of these gentlemen were thoroughly professional, engaging and a pleasure to learn from. I found the instruction of an exceptionally high quality and the manner in which it was delivered by both trainers very easy to understand. The messages and technical points provided by John and Tony matched exactly and it was a simple process for me to transition from one to the other. In summary my experience with Major was extremely positive - largely as a result of John and Tony. I certainly look forward to conducting any future courses with your organisation.
Thank you,

Brendon

The White card course was great and very interactive and put the WHS methods into action. It was also very convenient to do online.
