Completed Cert IV in Disability with WTS (previously AST) online, trainers were extremely helpful and the online portal was easy to navigate. Would highly recommend WTS.

Course Participant Emma

I would highly recommend WTS (previously AST) and if I decide to do more study I will definitely be using WTS.

Course Participant Heidi

I wanted a change of careers and WTS (previously AST) was the best experience for me, and the best thing that I could have done. WTS went above and beyond to find a course that suited my needs, the enrolment process was a breeze and I was supported through the process. Starting a course as an adult was very nerve racking, but the trainer I had ensured every single students needs were met and catered his teaching style to suit their needs, a very inclusive organisation and a very safe environment to be in.

Course participant Angie

WISE Training Services (previously Access Skills Training) was the best experience for me, and the best thing that I could have done.
