Feedback

“From now on I will engage with conversation, linking to development rather than giving a long safety talk.”

“Fantastic mix of listening and talking with slides and information. Loved the interactive components.”

“It has been great working with CAPT and training 190 people. The trainer’s passion for tackling childhood unintentional injuries came across so well.”
