The boys covered everything and took the time with absolute conviction to explain the why’s and how’s.  Even though it was a massive amount of info for 5 days mixed with homework I still found it enjoyable. You guys truly have a great team and it was my pleasure to be part of that team in the week. I have been so moved I want to move into a Safety and QA position somewhere so I can make a real difference. If only I had this training years ago!

Could I compliment Southpac and especially Richard on such an informative and interesting course last week in Sydney. As you would imagine over the last 35 years of my aviation career I have attended many seminars and courses and I must say the way Richard presented the information and held the attention of everyone, rates right there at the “top”. Please convey my appreciation on his “people skills and his tremendous subject knowledge.

“I believe that Southpac currently hold the benchmark for aerospace specific auditor training. I believe that the safety focus maintained by Southpac was ahead of its time in this country and we now see a similar approach taken by CASA with respect to operators required to providing objective evidence of sound safety management systems.”
