We have received extremely positive feedback from the completed courses and have incorporated suggestions into continually improving course outlines.

Our previous face to face courses have been taught by Krey Price in partnership with other trainers. We were lucky to have former HEC development team member Chris Goodell (currently with Kleinschmidt) travel to the southern hemisphere to teach our inaugural courses in both Australia and New Zealand, both of which sold out and were very well received. We were also pleased to welcome HDR’s Mark Forest to Australia to team-teach two of our previous courses. Read more about our instructors.
