Highly skilled in coordination - following through with the admin processes to ensure a smooth completion. Exceeding expectations by being able to unpack Competency Training's training solutions and encouraging and supporting company representatives and individuals on their respective pathways to up to date industry qualifications. Shortcutting the enrolment process for companies and individuals by communicating the essential information and responding with speedy and accurate support. Understanding the necessity of maintaining currency and compliance with legislation. Leveraging the support of other business units within the Engineering team at Verbrec e.g. Site Audits or Inspections. Competency Training - leading national provider of Hazardous Areas, High Voltage training, competency assurance. CT is currently a business unit of Engineering entity Verbrec. I believe in the transformational effects of training for individuals and teams. Companies need to connect with a Sales professional who really understands the pressures Managers face and can take the burden away. Companies should never experience a run-around or no call backs and should immediately feel that they have a range of solutions at their fingertips. Training in an industrial setting and in public classes is essential to reduce vulnerability to incidents and translates to increased job productivity and overall plant profitability. I am a highly skilled communicator with a wealth of industry knowledge and look forward to reaching out to you and your organisation to meet your training and compliance requirements. Show less
