Testimonials
-
"During my studies at Work savvy, I was comfortable in studying and asking what I wanted to know, and everyone was very attentive and helpful to me, making me determined to finish my studies. Finally, I graduated as the first person in my class. I was very proud of myself. I would like to thank the staff and trainers who made me graduate perfectly. Thank you. Before studying, I was very worried about English because English is not my first language. But the staff and trainers helped me very well during the study. I felt happy and had no worries because the staff and trainers made me comfortable to learn even though my language was not that good. But in the end, I was the first to finish the course. I felt proud of myself and would like to recommend it to anyone who is thinking of studying this course. Here, the staff and trainers take very good care of you. Thank you."PatcharinCHC43121 Certificate IV Disability Support
