What they say about us

5 stars logo

“Safety Direct Solutions are our preferred RTO. They are very easy to deal with and the trainers make the training interesting. I love how they aren’t there to just tick a box but to ensure the participants actually learn the content. I know my crew will walk away from the training actually competent to carry out the tasks they have been trained for.”

Natalie Sanders

“The company I work for booked this course (Certificate IV in Health Care) and at first, being South of the River, I wished they’d used a different company. However from the first day of the course I was glad and over the moon that SDS had been chosen. The facilities looked new and were clean. The trainers were experienced paramedics, so when delivering the medical training could give first hand knowledge, and in the scenarios could make them as realistic as possible. Would highly recommend them.”

Adam Powell

Matt and Mick set the standard for teaching and assessment. After 23 years as a paramedic and 17 as an ICP, I felt I needed a refresher and challenge. I flew across the country for this course (Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support) and was not disappointed. The lectures were informative, the scenarios were excellent. Highly recommend.
