Having never enjoyed school growing up, the last thing I wanted to do was commit to completing a course. However, as I write this, I am 5 units away from completing my Certificate and have also applied for the WA Trainee of the Year Award. I could not recommend the Certificate III enough, the team at Training Unlimited are so supportive and create such a positive learning environment. The training is flexible and manageable on top of work. This experience has not only changed my relationship with learning but has also ignited a passion to continue learning. Most importantly I feel it has given me a vast amount of new knowledge and understanding that I believe has made me a better support worker. For anyone unsure, take this as your sign to take the leap.
