What do our
Learners say?

“METS Training were able to really support me throughout my educational journey. Working in a busy childcare centre meant that my time was very limited for training. The team at METS ensured my schedule was tailored to work for me.”

“We finally ‘Graduated’ and cannot thank Ahmed enough, we couldn’t have done it without you, you gave us the support we needed from the very beginning. It was a long hard, confusing process until you came along. You are a superstar!”

“I’d like to share my appreciation for all of the support that Farhana has provided to me throughout my cert III. Farhana has made the course run so smoothly for me and made it a lot easier for me to understand. Thanks to Farhana, I’ll be doing my cert IV.”

“Recently i completed cert 3 in individual support with help of Farhana. It was so quick and felt the support i received from my mentor was really appreciable too. Now Ahmed has sent me the link to get enrolled for cert 4 in disability, which i am looking forward to.”
