Really enjoyed my experience. Pre course learning/training was made very clear and good communication from the team prior to attending training was provided.

I would like to personally like to thank the team at #acetrainingtraralgon #acetrainingsale for their teaching,mentoring & support while I have been doing certification 3 in #civilconstructionconstruction. Not only have I been able to learn new skills and knowledge about the industry. I personally feel so much better with myself building my own confidence. #ladies #men looking to up skill get in touch now. Before they don’t run it anymore.

Jody Lambert

Great experience getting my medium Rigid licence through these guys. I had Greg who was fantastic! Lots of tips and made the learning seem easy in a calm environment. They catered to my needs as I have a 7month old who was potentially going to need feeding throughout the day. Definitely recommend getting your licenses necessary through ACE training Bendigo. Cheers legends!
