CERTIFICATE IV MENTAL HEALTH PEER WORK
I really appreciate the opportunity MDS provided me to complete Cert IV MH Peer Work. I’m a reluctant learner, not keen on training that takes more than 2 days however I really enjoyed participating in this course. Having 2 days a month in class, in Campbelltown, and being able to get a lot of the work done in class really enabled me to successfully complete this course and I’m very proud of this achievement. Adam is a great facilitator, engaging and accommodating to the various learning styles in the class. He facilitated a safe space for sharing our stories, which I found beneficial as understanding the journey one has traveled assists us to understand where one is at now.

ACHIEVE AUSTRALIA
We were extremely happy with MDS Training's professional approach. Their teaching style was often adapted for each group of our staff. Many staff had not completed any previous formal training and their last learning experience was in high school, and that being in a country other than Australia.
Our staff have grown and developed through this training opportunity. They were doing their job before, but now they have pride in their work and they've also enjoyed being acknowledged for studying to gain a Certificate in their chosen occupation.
Thank you to MDS Training for making our experience such a great one.
