Roland Durr2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super professional Training and Asessment from Vally Plant Training: 3 years ago, with very limited training and only limited experience, Steve tried to assist me in getting the experience and skills necessary to pass my 1ot and below excavator course. Alas, he had to restrict my licence to 3t. But the encouragement was phenominal and the care and pride he took in his work was so evident. 2 years ago I redid my 10t and below with him, and this time I had the experience. A year ago I passed my 10t and above and dumper with Carlie, who showed the same dedication to developing skills. They are such a super skilled and professional team of instructors. I can only highly recommend them, and am extremely grateful for all their encouragement over the years! Thank you Steve, thank you Carlie!
