I did the online training course with Keith. Hard to believe, but he made the course fun and entertaining. Keith has a wealth of information and advice for the students (especially me as a new business owner). I appreciated his historical knowledge and his ability to make the information relevant to my business needs. This is my first online course in years, and appreciate having a great instructor that provided a great amount of knowledge. Thank you so much Keith!

I was nervous prior to doing the course mainly because it has been a long time since I’ve done any courses/study. However Keith was very easy going, funny and made everyone at ease. The course itself is very detailed and he made sure individual students were looked after in terms of what they actually needed from the course. I have learned a lot and now have more confidence in my future project 🙂 thank you!

Keith was such a hive of information! He spoke clearly, in an engaging style that was easy to listen to for a day-long training session, and he remained focused and on-point right throughout the day.He was careful to include (and individually addressed) all zoom group members, and encouraged interaction (questions) using the group chat function (to allow the training to flow without constant verbal interruptions). He would systematically respond to these group chat questions at appropriate times, ensuring the training remained fluid. I thought this system was a clever use of our training time (which was limited to a time schedule).Keith ascertained, right from the beginning, our specific vocations and tried to tailor the training with additional information where he knew it would benefit individuals.I am a strong visual learner, so really appreciated the photos, images and videos displayed throughout the training (if the training was solely audio/talking I would have struggled to retain as much as I did).I had heard that Keith was a fabulous trainer (knowledgeable, warm, funny), now I can vouch from personal experience that the rumours are true! Thanks heaps, Laura Donovan.

Overall very good. Full of information, Keith is very knowledgeable. A few technically issues which could have been addressed better. As I have excellent wifi connection and know it wasn't my connection. I couldn't see the screen for almost half of the session and found it a lot harder to follow along.
