Success Stories

people learningWhat employers say about ITAT:

  • “the entire company benefits from the training. Putting it (the benefits) down as dollars and cents profit is impossible, but logic and experience says that if people are better trained, are more multi-skilled, are able to work in an environment where English is the business language even if it is their second language, then they must be able to better participate in the company.”
     
  • “ITAT has been responsible for the implementation of the inaugural plastics training course in rotational moulding in New Zealand. Their manner and approach to staff has been outstanding. Their enthusiasm shown, together with their considerable knowledge that has been passed on to my staff has been of great benefit to our company as well as each individual staff member. I would sincerely recommend and endorse any future training that ITAT provides.”
     
  • “ITAT’s enthusiasm, technical knowledge and flexibility were a big part in the successful implementation of the training. The benefits? A more highly skilled workforce operating with greater confidence are in no small way due to ITAT’s knowledge and training methods.”
     
  • “ITAT’s overall knowledge of the industry and ability to communicate this effectively to both management and apprentices is appreciated to the point that their services are requested by staff. From a technical point of view we have always insisted that learning be done on our own equipment due to its uniqueness in the industry. I have no hesitation in allowing ITAT access to this equipment for training.”
     
  • “Without exception, the students have praised ITAT’s ability to make the courses interesting. Their flair for holding their interest and communicating knowledge has seen a dramatic increase in professionalism within our workforce. Training has really lifted our factory skills, which in turn has improved the quality of our output. ITAT has been the catalyst to ensure the success of our training.”
     
  • “ITAT has been working with us for several years now. Over that period they have provided our training requirements through a very successful in-house programme. We place high value on the quality of training, the professionalism and effectiveness of their tutors and the cooperative manner in which ITAT works with us to develop training modules and handle challenges.”
