Excellent facilitator, very informative, genuine and relatable. The day went very fast and was a great introduction to our change journey.
Well delivered training on a potentially ‘scary’ piece of legislation. I think participants now fell more at ease with how to navigate it.
Fantastic content and practical activities. Facilitator was fantastic and knowledgable
Very good, very thorough and engaging
What a great program! Very informative and entertaining at the same time!
One of the best training sessions I have attended. Matt managed to keep everyone engaged right until the end of the day
Thankyou – it was a great day with really good content that we can use and implement straight away!
A very engaging and extremely useful session. I am looking forward to putting the skills into action!
I really enjoyed the way that the course was delivered. Great interaction from the group to help work through scenarios
Great session and really happy that this was offered in our smaller rural area, instead of having to go all the way to Adelaide.
Informative, provided me strategies with different situations
This was the best workshop I’ve done at council in 40 years. Best course ever!
Really knowledgable and fun/entertaining. Quality was high and actually quite helpful.
Trish was a fantastic presenter. I have learnt a lot and would highly recommend this course for everyone.
Very well put together. Trainer knew what she was talking about and very interactive with audience.
Peter did well to engage a diverse group on a subject that has different meanings to different participants. Thank you.
This has been a fantastic course. I have resonated with so many topics. Floreal was very fun & knowledgable. I have learnt so much
Great interactive session that I thought was going to be onerous but was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Very impressive and needed to refresh our minds. I need more courses like this.
Fantastic! I was engaged during the entire day which is rare for me…I learnt so much more than I expected, way above expectation.
The training was well received, useful and relevant and the trainer was fantastic
Looks like you hit the mark again, I love that you guys are available to do this sort of thing
Great session with achievable tips. I think our company will benefit.
Great energy and good sharing of knowledge.
The Preftrain Leadership Workshops gave our teams the opportunity to learn techniques and tools to better lead, engage and support their teams. The flexibility to adapt the content to suit our needs and run the sessions in-house was very welcomed. The content was well structured and the trainer facilitated in an engaging and interactive manner, helping to embed the key takeaways of the session.
“Very engaged with content – always great to break it up with videos/break out rooms.”

David is an excellent training facilitator. He took the time to adapt examples that we could really relate to. He is an EXCELLENT listener! And he is really good at picking apart what individuals say (in a good way) and applying the training to situations we bring forward. As someone who rarely feels comfortable speaking up in a situation like this, his approach was very much appreciated.
The training was well run as an informative discussion instead of a “lecture”. This better engages the trainees.
We always enjoy the creativity and new ideas your people have. And your level of service is so professional.
“Content was excellent and well thought out and provided plenty of food for thought. Tom did a very good job of engaging with people via Teams.”
Russell delivered the contents in a manner that was entertaining and engaging.
Red Cross has a large and diverse workforce. I like your ability to adapt to our professional development needs. Your ability to tailor and design courses is refreshingly delightful. The topping on the cake is the exceptional customer service.
Preferred Training Network developed a coaching training package that really met our needs and they made the contextualizing process so easy. Their customer service before and after was excellent and their trainer was refreshing and innovative and really knew his stuff. A pleasure to do business with.
When I have an internal customer with a Professional Development need, I always have Preferred Training networks top of mind. I know I can ask you to look after the internal customer and I know the outcome will be a success. You’ve helped me design internal courses and sometimes you’ve delivered courses too. An exceptional service.
“Pleasure to work with the team at Preferred Training Networks. Great to have training tailored to the needs of our organisation and I found the trainer really listened to what we were trying to achieve through training our Customer Service and Coordinator teams. Staff appreciated that the strategies they learned were clear and practical, which they could readily employ in their day to day work.”
“Very engaging and interesting training session.”
Really enjoyed the approach to the topic and presentation. Definitely have a new and reviewed way on our daily interactions at work. This has helped me realise and think differently about some compassion fatigue we experience & deal with others more empathetically than reactively.
I found Matt’s facilitation style easy to listen to, follow and understand. This was an effective online training session. Matt guided the participants effectively between the shared screen in Zoom, the workbook and online breakout rooms.
We organised a series of “Workplace Resilience” courses In Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Canberra. The feedback was excellent from all states. It was refreshing to find a national training company that can deliver consistent high-quality programs. Preferred Training Networks were also very flexible and professional – excellent.

Great course, I will be able to use a lot of the methods to improve my customer service
Fantastic! Funny! Enlightening! I could sit and listen to Robert for days! Legitimately the best professional development course I’ve ever experienced. More please!
Genuinely the most practical, useful behavioral course I’ve done to date. Bravo.
Best training session that I have attended. Kept me engaged and interested.
Fantastic, first ever we’ve run, and I’m impressed at how well the uptake and relevance was.
On behalf of the management of WesTrac, I would like to thank you and your team for the valuable assistance given to us in determining the content and facilitating the cultural integration sessions that took place as a result of a new business acquisition. We have had a lot of positive feedback from both the management of WesTrac and the newly acquired employees
Preferred Training Networks conducted detailed planning sessions to understand the business and culture which allowed for specific tailoring of the training course. This led to well facilitated training sessions that engaged participants and had a positive impact on the change process

The program was very helpful and informative, I learnt new presentation skills, got a chance to speak in front of an audience and build confidence. Thank you, I really appreciate that.
Great presenter, excellent energy. Interesting and relevant content
Preferred Training Networks do two critical things really well. They provide high quality, focused, results-oriented training activities, and they back these up with fantastic customer service. Their professionalism and efficiency makes them a pleasure to deal with.
After talking to a number of different providers to help develop our Graduate Program Preferred Training Network absolutely stood out from the competition. We were looking for a series of two-hour long modules designed specifically for us and Preferred have done a brilliant job of delivering that. Their proposals hit the mark every time and we will absolutely be looking to use them again in the future.
This has been a fantastic course. I have resonated with so many topics. Floreal was very fun & knowledgable. I have learnt so much
Very impressive and needed to refresh our minds. I need more courses like this.
Lots of fun, made it easy to learn.
I’ve been working with Preferred Training Networks for many years, over a few different companies and recommend them highly. They consistently provide outstanding service in their client relationships, their products and their delivery of training, always accommodating the needs and requirements presented to them.
Preferred Training Networks have been invaluable to our organisation in customising professional integrity and communications courses for us. Your trainers are very experienced and can handle sessions with individuals from any level of the organisation. Thank you for your help and we look forward to working with you again this financial year.
Trish was great, engaging with everyone to make sure the content was relevant.
Enjoyed the course and loved that it can be used in everyday life.
Excellent training program, full of enthusiasm and knowledge. Loved the stories David!

Drawing out from the vivid personal stories from participants is good. Stories are the best – we recall stories
Best course ever – the program was exactly what we were after. Great training delivery from facilitator. Very engaging.
Facilitator has great knowledge and listened to everyone’s views.
Best course ever – it should be mandatory for all staff!
Very engaging. Would 100% recommend.

As a 30 year customer service veteran, I was surprised by how much insight I gained today
This course was great! Full day courses are rarely this engaging.
Fantastic content and practical activities. Facilitator was fantastic and knowledgable
Very good, very thorough and engaging
Great interactive session that I thought was going to be onerous but was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it.
It was clear from the beginning that the trainer was an industry professional. The people at Preferred Training Networks really do take into consideration the client’s needs before providing the trainer and particular course

A large Council asked us to help them create a Capability Framework for their Co-ordinators. Through a consultative process, we developed a Capability Framework with learning programs mapped. This process involved developing learning programs for 4 groups of 15 participants over a 3 year period. The learning programs involved key design and development as well as pre and post activities. The learning programs were designed to be a mixture of half and full day programs and covered 10 different topics. An example of these include:
We have had a continuing relationship with a leading NFP for many years. We have run many of their learning programs across Australia as well as being involved in developing videos, digital assets, presentations, facilitator guides and participant workbooks. Last year we were asked to design and develop a series of videos for their learning and development platform. This process involved a multi stakeholder consultation process to agree on scripting, producing and delivering a series of videos. These video’s were 5 minutes in duration and were mapped to their capability framework.
A Financial Services company asked us to develop a series of modules for their team leaders. We developed these modules through a consultation process with our client. The client wanted each module to be linked through pre and post activities and be run as short modules in 3 of their Australian offices. The programs were designed with scenarios and relevant activities for participants to engage in. An example of these included:
A very regional organisation in QLD asked us to conduct a week of training for their staff. We designed and developed a series of short and sharp sessions incorporating 2 hour, 3 hour and lunchtime sessions. An example of the programs that we developed included:
A global health body asked us to run a webinar for their staff around the area of Adaptive Leadership. This 45 minute session was conducted utilizing Go To Meeting. This session was run for 30 of their staff who were invited to attend the webinar as part of their professional development. This was recorded and kept onsite for other participants to access when necessary
