I recently attended the First Aid course at WAM Institute conducted by Mr. Stone, and it was an excellent experience. Mr. Stone was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the course very practical and easy to understand. The training was well-organized, and I now feel much more confident in handling emergency situations. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn essential first aid skills

I did my Dogging course here and this is honestly one of the best facilities with the best trainers and course content I’ve ever experienced. I’ve done 3 high risk licenses all at different places and WAM has set the standards very high. I will be doing all my courses with them in future. I felt so prepared for the exams, thanks Stan and Tyrone for making sure we were prepared ☺️

This is a proper course. No doing the assessment copying answers from your book. In saying that the way Lindsay explains everything and gives you tips on how to operate a forklift especially for me the first time on a forklift you have nothing to fear. Doing the pracs & test with Gary: he puts you at ease and explains everything well so you are not under pressure while doing them.

I got my fork lift licence through wam training. The fella running the class Lindsey is up there with some of the funniest people I have met. His course coverage was in depth and thorough. He is straight to the point and informative. It's worth getting your licence just to here the blokes banter. If this guy wasn't teaching people how to drive forks he could probably do stand up. Thanks and take care big fella.

Staff from entry to your exits, they treat people with respect, free fruits basket to grab, men and women alike, were professionals and polite. The trainers were clear and helpful, tries to make course less boring (though the materials were still boring, but hey, it's in our DNA). Brings in lunch orders by staff, seen female students doing the courses which was cool and not one-sided. All in all, I got two tickets from them and the staffs were not simply there for a paycheck. For the employers, your workers, if they have ears and half of a brain of a 10 year old with a calculator, they can pass.
