Employer Testimonials
Sean and the team at WTS were amazing at assisting a young apprentice with some learning difficulties. They came up with a colour coded chart that enabled our apprentice to not have to process the numbers and words and just focus on the colour coding. Our apprentice was so thrilled when she discovered how easier it was for her to navigate around these issues. Our apprentice is thriving and we are both so much more happier as her learning continues. Well done to all the team at WTS to giving us such personalised service to ensure that we could keep a young person with some learning difficulties working and moving forward.
Apprentice/Trainee Testimonials
Maree
Maree from Bakers Delight, Wheelers Hill. "Always having a trainer at the end of a telephone if I needed to change days, times, sick. Having up-to-date information and if I needed hands on help they would organise my trainer to come out or another trainer. Very friendly staff and can always have a laugh as well as get the work done. Having had an extension with my training and more than happy to get me the extra assistance that was needed. Even had the owner of the company coming out to get engaged with my progress and keep it moving in the right direction. Thank you everyone. "

He makes sure everyone has an understanding. It was great."

When I first came to the course, I was nervous and shaking, I basically didn’t want to come. I forced myself as I knew I had to make changes for myself and as soon as I walked in, I noticed everybody was so welcoming. It still took me time to settle in but knowing everybody was so understanding I soon felt like I fit in straight away. I always think if it wasn’t for this course, I don’t think I would be around today. All trainers and mentors made me feel more confident in myself which helped me get out of bed everyday to attend the course. Eventually I felt no nerves whatsoever at the course and enjoyed my time there learning about food processing and baking all sorts of things. Tursa got back in contact with me and told me Workplace Training Strategies had a internship available at the 6729 Bakery if I was interested. I took the opportunity to go back and help students that were in my position when I first arrived there. Helping people isn’t just for their benefit it actually helps me too, it makes me feel better about myself, It makes me feel like I have made someone’s life a bit better. To be honest I still fight myself to get up as I have for a long time the difference now is that I win the fight and always turn up to my job, because I love it. It makes me so happy that I am doing something that matters. I am thankful for the opportunities that Workplace Training Strategies had offered me.

I'm so very thankful that I came across WTS and my course as it has really opened my eyes to different things and helped me gain a new set of skills that I can maintain and bring into any work environment for the rest of my life. It has given me the motivation to improve myself and has encouraged me to step into the very best version of myself. Everyone at the course is so supportive, and all the staff and trainers treat all their students equally. I've never felt so comfortable to actually express who I really am anywhere until I enrolled with WTS. I would recommend this provider to absolutely anyone, because I really feel like I've finally got my life back on track and I'm heading in the right direction to the successes that I've dreamed of, this is just the very first baby step.
The best aspects of the training was talking to your teacher and getting the best out of it and always having to try news things and learn what other bakeries and places do than just what I do in my bakery.
Having a very friendly and approachable trainer who is very good at explaining each of the questions and what they require.
The trainers are the best main aspect as they are very informative and explains the questions in a way that makes its easier to comprehend and understand.
I learnt skills that I was able to apply to into my work life. It made me improve as a team member and a manager.
Trainer feedback and interaction was the best, as the trainer made the work more streamlined and concise also gave examples and feedback.
WTS set me up well for future management roles, extended my knowledge a lot. Trainers are great and very helpful and Cloud Assess is very easy to use and clear.
The online platform made the training very easy to attend. We all work different schedules so being able to complete the training online, from home, at a time the suited us all was very helpful.
Trainers were always willing to explain things further where needed, they were very good at checking in with how you are going.
The trainer was friendly and patient. The course was a good refresher course after being in Retail for many years and the workbooks were easy to follow.
Always having the trainer in the session with you was the most beneficial for me - it allows for open discussion, prompt answers to questions and the trainers push you to think about your answers and how to further elaborate.
The best aspect of training with WTS was the balance of being able to learn myself whilst being taught. I wasn't just hand held throughout the training which was good and forced me to learn myself.
The trainer's knowledge of picture framing which isn't part of the curriculum helped me greatly and made it easy to understand the questions and activities. Trainers relating the training to my industry made learning much more fun and informative.
The best part was that by the end of the course I could see the different products I can make. I was able to explore and make my own twist on some of them. I felt comfortable with my trainer, and they knew what they were talking about every time. It made the 3 year Apprenticeship feel like it wasn't a huge course
