"Found the trainer fantastic, kept on track and engaged. The course was relevant and met all my expectations. Highly recommended and discussed this with my colleagues when I returned to my workplace. 5 STARS"
-City of Gold Coast
"It is such a busy time of year & I wish I had more time to review the ground (& notes) covered by the course, to help consolidation. But I was determined to attend as it is an area that has already caused me problems, and I am very pleased I was able to rearrange my timetable so I could make it. And the notes (from my quick glance) are easy to read, review and absorb, tools I know that will be useful well down the track as I negotiate the inevitable challenging issues ahead of me. The energy, knowledge, empathy, commitment and common sense of the trainer was also impressive and an inspiration."
-National Library Of Australia

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day. I thought the content was most relevant and I found that I can definitely apply the learnings within my work environment."
"Most - exploring communication styles and understanding how others communicate. Practicing the I statements was great too. Least - For me the body language and type of questions was not useful due to my own experience however I found the trainer to deliver this appropriately with not too much time allocated to the topic."
QLD Department of Corrective Services
"It helped me to understand my own behaviour more, I have really thought about what categories the people around me would fall into and how I can deal with them better."

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.
