Great training centre with excellent facilities. I’ve completed a few courses here and just finished the Basic Rigging course with John. John was a great instructor – very knowledgeable and able to explain everything in a practical way that makes it easy to understand. No matter what question was asked, he always had a clear explanation. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to complete their high-risk training. I’ll definitely be back for future courses.

In recent months l have completed 5 tickets three of them being high risk. The trainers l had, being Theo, Mark and Gavin are very good at their craft and very passionate about what they do and how they go about engaging the students and proudly representing Ascent Training Solutions. I commend them and also to the head office administration and management staff. Sueanne handled predominantly all my processes and provided wonderful guidance and prompt and clear communication. Her bedside manner was tremendous. Congratulations to you all and l certainly will recommend your services to anyone that is intending to complete their tickets. Kind Regards Brett McCouat

I recently completed my dogman training here and couldn’t recommend it enough. The trainers were experienced, patient and made sure everyone fully understood what we were doing before we moved on. Great mix of hands-on work and clear instruction. If you’re looking to get your ticket and actually learn the job properly, this is the place to do it.

I just completed my C6 Crane ticket with Ascent. The trainers and accessors were brilliant and they care about their students success in the program. They expect you to follow their instructions at all times and to put in the work, if you don’t then good luck, if you do you will finish the course not only with your Licence but the knowledge you will need in the field. I recommend Ascent training, the boys will make it happen if you put in the work.
