Great course , John is extremely well knowledgeable with dangerous goods and restraints, highly recommended him for the courses that he trains in.Posted on Garry HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended. Just completed my DG there and the teacher John was absolutely amazing. He was very thorough in all aspects of what was needed. He explained everything and if you didn’t understand he would go over it until you did understand. I would recommend him and his centre to anyone. And I would go back there anytime or tell anyone about this place.Posted on Joshua CurtisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is a very thorough teacher, would recommend his courses to anyone that needs to be certified.Posted on Alex WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As the Manager of AirBP Sydney, upholding safety standards and regulatory compliance is a top priority. When it came time to renew my Dangerous Goods (DG) licence, I knew I needed to train with a provider I could trust—one with a strong reputation and accredited expertise. I’ve always chosen John Kells as my preferred trainer, and nearly booked with another centre that confusingly uses his surname. Thankfully, I confirmed that John himself would be delivering the course, and from that point, the re-certification process was smooth and professional. John and Diane genuinely care about their students and clients. The two-day course is presented in a clear, engaging format, with PowerPoint sessions supported by real DG items and packaging examples. This hands-on approach makes the learning both practical and enjoyable, all within a relaxed, clean, and well-equipped training environment. The Arndell Park facility offers added convenience, including the option to purchase DG safety items on-site and a comfortable space to enjoy a coffee or heat up lunch. I strongly recommend booking directly through the Dangerous Goods Training Centre, affiliated with Robinson College, to ensure you’re trained by John himself. His commitment to supporting students, both during and after the course—is exceptional. He made it clear that we could reach out with any future questions, which speaks volumes about his dedication. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Great value, excellent delivery, and genuine care for student success.Posted on amrik singhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
