For those unfamiliar, ‘No Frills’ isn’t about cutting corners (or skipping dessert).

The assessor was knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to provide guidance when needed.Having completed a number of training courses previously, the point of difference with this course I was particularly impressed with was the quality of the RPL resources, and how efficiently the course allowed me to demonstrate my competencies without unnecessary repetition.The entire process was straightforward and stress-free, which is a testament to the course’s excellent design and the professionalism of the staff.I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain recognition for their prior learning in a supportive and efficient manner!Tom TrambyTom Tramby ★★★★★ Great team to work with!Eden FindleyEden Findley ★★★★★ I was blessed to have none other than Christine Williamson as my trainer and assessor. Christine is a leading VET industry consultant and her years of experience and knowledge of the Australian VET sector enabled for my knowledge and growth to flourish during this process.The TAE is a highly complicated course but Christine's communication skills and applications of her shared experiences make this journey an exiting learning forum. I enjoyed every part of this process and highly recommend this organisation to anyone wanting to learn the craft of adult education.The entire process ran smoothly, professionally, and most of all ethically.I am looking forward to undergoing further training with HBTA in 2025 when I enrol into the Diploma of Quality Auditing. I do hope that Christine will be available to facilitate this course.Eden FindleyValerie ChongValerie Chong ★★★★★ I recently completed my online course TAE50122 with Healthy Business Training Academy and my experience has been exceptional from start to finish.INITIAL CONTACTFrom the moment I first reached out, Dowlene was knowledgeable and attentive to my needs, guiding me through the various course options available. Thanks to her insightful guidance, I qualified for some government funding I was previously unaware of. This level of support starkly contrasts my prior experiences with other RTOs, where the focus felt more like a sales pitch than genuine service. Choosing Healthy Business was undoubtedly the right decision.TRAINER AND ADMINISTRATION:Following my enrollment, the administrative process was seamless, thanks to the efficient coordinator who ensured all necessary information was in place for my online course. My first Zoom meeting with my trainer, Carey, was a delight. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable, encouraging me to share my purpose for taking the course. Throughtout the course, Carey was always approachable and provided invaluable guidance whenever I needed assistance with assessments. Our discussions, always left me feeling relieved and calm. Her prompt responses and timely assessment feedback were greatly appreciated.As a trainer and assessor with experience at a previous RTO, I can attest that the true culture of supporting students on their educational journey is embodied by Healthy Business. They genuinely prioritize helping students choose and succeed in their courses, making them a true testament to what an RTO should be.Thank you Healthy Business Training Academy Team!Conor HolohanConor Holohan ★★★★★ HBTA is an excellent RTO that provided me with great guidance during my Diploma of Training and Assessment.
