Aerial Rescue Training

“The training we received from Michael was well received by our climbing Arborists. The feedback from the guys was he gave them points on new techniques and engaged them by challenging the use of current methods and best practices.

Investing in training is an investment in making sure we have the best trained employees as they are in full view of our customers at all times so we want them to be professional, well trained and current in their techniques. He covered the theory and then covered it in practice.

We found Michael as a trainer easy to use and was genuine in the way he wanted to improve our guys and ensure they are competent in Aerial rescue – well worth it and would like to explore other training he may want to deliver.

Thanks very much Michael”

“I wanted to thank you again for the training that you have delivered over the past two days. The feedback from the guys in training was fantastic. The owner of West Coast Tree Care who is a subcontractor to ETS contacted me personally, as did a number of the participants so say that this was one of the best training sessions they had attended to date.

From my prospective I feel that it all went very smoothly and was executed well. So again thank you for that”.
