I would like to thank Ashley for his very professional teaching in HR truck driving…under the training of Ashley, I was able to learn and learn very well. He is so nice, and respects you so much. I’ll recommend anyone to learn under him, and I also intend to return and get further training under Ashley in future. Keep up the great work, you are one in a million. Another 100% pass under your belt, mate!

I am writing this to compliment your organisation and team and to congratulate you all for the amazing work you do to change people’s lives.
Four years ago my husband arrived in Australia from Fiji with only practical bar skills and security skills, a low level of education, and below average English skills. He had only his smarts and determination. He worked hard at gaining a forklift licence and some hands on manufacturing experience but his dream was always to work in the mining industry.
I have spent over a decade in Employment Services and knew of your organisation through many of my job seekers, so about a year ago my husband started gaining qualifications through Major. I had the exceptional experience of working with Margaret West throughout this period and I have sincerely never worked with a more helpful, caring, motivating and more understanding person than Margaret. Her team is second to none and I have no questions why.
Over this time my husband completed his Generic Mining Inductions, his Dogger Ticket, HR licence, his dump truck ticket and still wants to keep buying practice hours when he is home to try and secure a promotion in the future (I actually think he just loves learning with Major). Anyway, he works away now, YES, in the mines as a driller assistant/driver and training to be a driller. His dream is now a reality and it is thanks to the wonderful work, extra help and assistance provided by the team at Major. A future that was never secure is now one to look forward to and embrace. A big thank you to you all.

I would like to thank the team at Major for all the help they gave to me in obtaining my mining induction and Haul Truck Tickets. The training staff are fantastic!!! The knowledge and professional attitude that my trainers John and Gary imparted on me has enabled me to obtain my goal which is to work in the mining industry. So thanks Major for making it all happen for me.

Hi,
I recently completed the HR Driver training course, 3 day, with John and I would appreciate it if you could pass on to the Driver Training Manager my appreciation for John’s efforts and patience. He was clearly very knowledgeable, patient and communicated his knowledge in a relaxed and friendly manner. His good humour made the course very enjoyable.
The opportunity to keep the same instructor and vehicle right the way through to my test I believe greatly assisted me to remain relaxed and comfortable in this new environment and assisted me to successfully obtain my licence.
I would also like to complement the office staff, who at all times, on the phone and in person, treated me courteously with an efficient and friendly manner. Each time I made an enquiry or arrived for a lesson the person I spoke to was able to give me the information I required without the usual run around.
Once again thank you to all.

Hay guys Ashley here;
I recently did some tickets with Major. I would like to thank you guys for all your efforts. First of all of course the office girls nothing was too much & you all have lovely smiles keep up the good work.
A special thanks to Scottish John & Johnno, two bloody good blokes that I look forward to seeing next time I’m at Major. Thanks Rick for picking me up from the motel each day and the others that helped. Thanks also to Barry, Ted, Tim, Phil, Alex and Mathew. If I missed anyone I’m sorry and thanks.
Kind Regards
Ashley
To all concerned,
I completed a course on the 17th, 18th & 19th of November under the guidance of John.
My current job depended on my completion of an MR Course which John helped me with over my 3 days of training & I would like to send a special thanks to him for his patience & ability to make me feel comfortable & gave me the confidence I needed to pass this course.
If I am ever asked to recommend a driving school for heavy machinery I would not hesitate in your recommendation.
Thanks once again
Sincerely, Wayne
Hi,
I just want to say to all the staff involved, especially Ron & Brett.
Your classes were enjoyable and thorough.
To Maz & Chris (driving instructors) the training that you gave me was invaluable & thanks for the tips!
The girls at the front desk were very pleasant and helpful – and a special thanks to Jane for standing by her word and getting me into the cert 3 course. I will recommend your company to anyone I know that is interested in upgrading their driving skills.
Thank you again – health & happiness to all!

Hi Jane,
I would like to pass on some positive feedback from Stephen regarding the training he did with your organisation. He states that he considered Dave Leech to be a great teacher who demonstrated a lot of caring in his role as well as good industry related feedback. Stephen also thought that Sue was great.
I saw Stephen on 24th February so I’m not sure whether this request is still relevant (I have been absent from work with the flu) – He was wondering whether there was any way that he could book his licence test any earlier.
Once again, thanks for your professionalism and efficiency with your training.
Regards
Chris

Dear Sir,

To Whom It May Concern 21/5/09
I have no hesitation in recommending any person who is seeking to use the services of Major Training and Plant Hire.
The two week Certificate 11 course I embarked on was thoroughly professional from the front desk through to the initial first week on studying logistics and occupational health and safety through to the second week on Driver training.
I found the staff friendly, considerate and prepared to listen to enact changes to suit my travelling and driver test as I was travelling from the Tweed each day.
Robert in particular I would like to single out as a trainer with great confidence building skills, yet assertive and correct on improving my skill sets.
His encouragement along with the girls at the front desk enabled me to get my licence in 3 short weeks and first attempt.
From this I was able to get work the very next day with my new HR licence.
Having been through a difficult period personally I am now buoyed by the overall support and new work opportunities that lie ahead. So much so I have been offered a business opportunity up North within the organisation.
I credit a lot of the support and care Major showed in getting me to this point.
Kindest Regards
Rick
Hi,
Today I obtained my HR drivers’ licence and would like to take the time to thank the friendly staff at MAJOR driver training for all your help and efficiency. I would like to thank Sara and Amanda on the front desk as well as the instructors who helped me: Uncle Bob; Bevan “read the signs and stay between the lines” and Taffy.
Once again thanks and I will also follow up in regards to forklift refresher training for our operations staff if we still need to complete this. I will check with the Production and Operations Manager when I see him next.
Once again sincere thanks.
Regards

Hi there,
Today (Thursday 28th of May) I passed for my HR licence.
First of all I want to say many thanks to my instructor Robert for his professional and great training skills.
He did a very good job in getting me to the level and self-confidence required to pass the test for my HR licence.
Especially regarding the very limited timeframe that was available to us.
And I certainly would like to have him again as my instructor when I decide to upgrade to an HC and/or MC licence in the future.
Also my appreciation goes out to the girls at the reception.
They were always nice and friendly to me and at the same time they were very professional.
That is something you don’t see a lot these days and it is certainly something that a lot of other companies could learn from!
I will certainly recommend Major to anyone wanting to have a bit more than just a licence to drive a car.
Best regards,
Jan
To Whom It May Concern
Over the past two months I have been coming to your MR training sessions so I could learn to drive a bus. At first I didn’t know what to expect and the introduction was pretty relaxed and crusie. I left my first lesson thinking maybe I could do this no problem, but was determined to come back and learn as much as I could so I could pass my test with ease. Hence the reason for this letter. After lesson two thinking my progression was heading backward I met one of your trainer drivers Robert otherwise known as Bob. That day (lesson 3) I was amazed at how much I learnt about the vehicle, how much more control I had and most of all, I was made aware of the critical errors I was making that where impairing my driving. Bob was honest, fair and very clear with his explanations on how to rectify my problems.
Now I’ll let you know I’m a pretty easy going person and I was introduced to a whole new wave of nerves tension by coming and wanting to expand my ability as a driver. With my job at present a lot of people ask how do I handle the nerves, but I’ll tell you what, I’ve never felt as nervous as I did have driving a bigger vehicle and not to mention, the day of my exam. I was lucky enough to have a trainer that cared and went out of his way to make sure that I would be able to have a lesson with him. You see Bob explains things very clearly, that’s why I was quiet amazed at what I accomplished in such a short time. Unfortunately on my last drive, before the test, I had to have a new training driver. So I thought “oh well, with the tools that Bob had prepared me with, I should be fine” (yet still an unconscious uncertainty hung over me).
1:30 pm Wednesday July 1st 2009 I walk into the front office of Major and I was met by a friendly face to wish me luck (so I Thought) then I find out that Bob had asked the girls to restructure the whole day so that he could take me out on my last run. WELL, you don’t know how lucky I was. My last run was atrocious, I came apart with nerves. I did everything wrong and to think if I had a new driver maybe I would have suffered a setback from the disbelief of my ability, but Bob knew what I was capibial of and focused on removing the nervous tension and preparing me for my drive. I have never been through an experience like it and I don’t think I ever will again, who knows. One thing I do know, Bob gave me enough courage to believe in myself that evening at my gig I blow the crowed away with a certain strength of sureness that radiated through my performance and I take with me from my lesson some very valuable techniques not only helping me with my driving but with situations across my whole life. Bob has made a great impression on me Thank you for this opportunity and thank you Bob for getting me through this stage of my life and opening a door to another great adventure.
Yours Sincerely
Anne

To everyone at Major,
I would like to thank everyone who helped make my visit to Major a pleasant experience.
My teacher John who is a very kind, understanding, funny man who always had time to help. I would like to thank Taffy for getting me started with my lessons and most of all I need to say a huge thank you to Bevan For taking me out on my last lesson and showing me I could do this. I was very nervous but he had faith in me and i think thats what pulled me through.
He showed me things that i needed to know for the test that I hadn’t been shown, and i was tested on them. I instantly felt comfortable with Bev, he is a credit to this company.
Thanks again to all at Major, Yatala.

Hey guys,
I would just like to thank major for their help with getting my HR licence. As i went from never having been inside a truck before to getting my HR licence within 2months. the office girls were great and always had a smile. Which truly helps when first walking into your buisness.
Last but not least. I would like to thank Robert or Bob, for without his instructions. I believe i would have not passed my test. Having gone for 4 lessons with 2 other instructors. I stuck the rest out with Bob and cannot thank him enough for his assistance and patience with me. Please pass on my thanks. I will recomend your company to all i meet who are looking to uprade teir licence, ticket etc etc.
I will be looking forward to upgrading in a year or so, (thought you got away from my ugly mug hey Bob) and will definately be doing so with your company. Keep up the good work. Thanks once again Bob.

To the General Manager,
I successfully passed my HR licence on wednesday afternoon after putting myself through training with your company. I would like to say that i dont have a single complaint regarding any of your trainers that i had, which i thought was all of them if you see how many lessions i had but my last lesson i had before my test was with BOB (sorry i dont know his last name). I would like to pass on my appreciation to Bob as he showed me in about 20 minutes of my lesson areas in my driving that REALLY helped me get a successful pass in my test. The big area he taught me that no other instructor showed me was how to RECOVER. He spent some valuable time showing me this in my last lesson which i only booked the day before (lucky me) as i would have definately failed if it wasnt for this extra area he showed me. I think he really noticed that there was an area that wasnt taught to me & he acted on it. I filled out a form regarding MAJOR’S training prior to my last lesson which I stated overall as excellent but i think i would have expressed differently if i penned it after Bob’s lesson.
Can you please pass on my sincere appreciation to him….He is a credit to your team!
Thankyou.
Mark
