Training Academy

Training that holds up when it matters — not just on the certificate

Every programme is presented by fully qualified, experienced facilitators and moderated by our chief moderator. Class sizes are limited to 12 per instructor, every course includes compulsory practical training and workplace skills evaluation, and delivery is on your premises — so candidates learn with the equipment and environment they'll actually use — or at our facilities. Jones Consulting is accredited with the Department of Employment and Labour and the QCTO, along with multiple other certification bodies.
