Testimonials
Excellent location and Facilities, a large enough training area that you can actually get a feel for the machine that you are using . Also, the courses are designed that you get plenty of time in the Driver seat.
The staff are excellent with a wealth of knowledge and give you enough Space that you don’t feel intimidated while driving the machines , and enough guidance without feeling like they constantly looking over your shoulder. Would highly recommend the course to anyone who wanted to learn or just simply upskill
Trainers were great, best training program I’ve been to.
RAS fitted me in at the last minute…great facilities….Scott the trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful…great all round experience
Ross and the team at RAS Training & Services were absolutely amazing. Great communication, speedy service, extremely professional. A pleasure to deal with. We can highly recommend RAS training and services to anyone in need of a VOC or Certificate for their industry.
RAS Training Services were extremely professional. Ross was able to tailor a training package to suit our needs. Coming to us wasn’t a problem and on very short notice completed all training on site with our own equipment making the entire process a breeze, highly recommend Ross and the team at RAS Training Services!
Ross was extremely helpful, efficient detailing what RAS training had coming up and how he could help outside of the general training timetable. Feedback for the training was exceptional.
Steve was a legend when I did my Haul Truck licence. He made us feel welcome and comfortable to undertake both the theory and practical parts of the course.
Very clear and precise. The communication was prompt pre-course and Steve was very professional. I will recommend RAS Training every time.
See you for another course soon.
Cheers boys.
Ross and the team at RAS provide an excellent learning environment – focussed, thorough and professional, but always relaxed, informal and very encouraging. From my initial inquiry to the follow-up and outstanding employment support, Ross delivers an exemplary Service.HIghlights.
> Small class size (4 in my group), giving us all ample time on the Moxy. The course was all about time in the seat – Operating! and the work we completed was for a commercial operation.
> Our trainer, Steve, is a very experienced operator delivering hands-off guidance, great encouragement, and valuable machine and industry insight. He was particularly good at grouping participants in a manner that maximised learning outcomes and efficiency.
> Ross has a way of making you feel very welcome and comfortable. His follow – up and employment support is above and beyond. He’s lined me up with a start on a Moxy just a week and a half following certification. Awesome.
Plant training doesn’t get better than RAS. My only question is what machine next? Pleased to have been pointed in their direction – they’ve provided invaluable assistance making my somewhat significant career change move ahead at lightning pace.
Highly recommended.
Once again the team at RAS Training have done an outstanding job. From theory to practical we the students were given every bit of assistance and knowledge to enhance our skills. Thankyou Ross and Steve for a great 3 days. And the Barbecue on the final day was the cherry on top. Look forward to another course in the future
