  I would like to thank Ian’s team for their professional approach in training me to gain my HR licence.
I had 3 instructors throughout my training and found each of them offered something uniquely different. Remember, you are there to learn. Leave your ego at the door and accept the advice that comes your way.
I would particularly like to acknowledge Simon for his passion and patience in working with me in those last couple of training sessions and in calling me out when needed and encouraging me to a successful end.
For anyone looking for a challenge, the HR Roadranger will give you all that you need. If you are new to the game, like me, and are considering the training package be prepared to book an extra lesson to hone your skills before the test.

  I have used these guys to get my MR a few years ago and just last week I did my HR Auto. I was very happy with my experience with all the crew. Scott was my instructor for the license, very knowledgeable and consistent with the training he delivered.
