Les and Barry are Gurus in the field. Both have a lot of knowledge and useful experience that helps with their teaching. The course covers WAY too much content and is very broad, though this is fault of AICIP not AWS

– Braden Tanner, ASC

Excellent delivery of the course by all instructors. Given the vast scope to cover, the course was effectively structured to maximise content retention. Highly recommended for preparation for AICIP exams as well as practical knowledge.

I thought the whole training from start to finish was superb and will be a massive help to me going forward in my inspection career. Excellent theories and practical training…the best part was how tailored it was to our real life and the exams situation. Les & Rahim are living embodiment of how to train it. they pushed us all to exactly the right levels until we get the results needed.

– Abraham Varghese

I really enjoyed the training. Les ran a great course giving a solid overview of the requirements for pressure plant registration. Les really knew the important points that needed to be covered. From his significant experience in this area he is able to deliver an excellent course on this sometimes hard to understand topic.

– Michael Jucha, Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance

Course content was very good. It covered everything needed to face the exam. A mock test for Paper ABRE maybe 25 marks each would be helpful to get a feel of the actual exam.

Les and Barry are amazing in knowledge and explanation.
