Why dealing directly with Smiths Training Services is better than dealing with an RTO?
- Whilst the RTO is the one that issues the nationally recognised competencies, they still rely on trainer/assessor to deliver the training.
- The RTO is the admin component of training. The trainer/assessor is the person with the industry experience.
- Whenever you have questions about a course, the majority of the time the RTO cannot answer them and has to refer back to the trainer/assessor.
- The RTO will send whatever trainer/assessor they have available and at times one with little to no industry experience.
- Dealing directly with Smiths Training;
- We will deal with the right RTO for your nationally recognised qualifications.
- We are the trainer/assessors, the ones with the real industry experience.
- When you engage our services you know who your trainer is.
- The vast majority of times we can answer your questions without hesitation.
- We are a small family owned business, not a big corporate provider that possibly only treat you as a number.
- We never cancel our courses, once committed, the course goes ahead, regardless of numbers.
- Many RTO’s attempt to engage our services regularly to deliver training on their behalf.

All our drivers are required to undergo Dangerous Goods courses and pass a Basic Fitness Management course, as part of their employment.

We have found your approach to fit well with our aims and confirm your services will be utilized on our future projects.

Overall the balanced classroom and field exercises and assessment were well received by our drivers. We appreciate you sharing life experiences during the training with our drivers and found they were well received by the participants. We observed the record keeping and document management to be excellent.
We engaged Andrew Smiths business, Smiths Training Services to carry out various training for our company commencing in 2013. Smith’s training services were very quick to address our training needs in a short period of time due to The Hawkins Group needing a lot of training to commence a big contract. Andrew discussed the possibilities with me and always managed to fit us into his busy schedule. The training delivered was of the highest standard I have seen; with the experience evident throughout the theory training and also with the technical application in the practical component. Andrew’s company ...
