All EAEC trainers who teach our accredited courses have the Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training as a minimum requirement.

To encourage people to have confidence in their ability to learn something new.
Tricia Pye Subject: Business Professionals Training & Computer Applications What do you like about teaching?: I have a philosophy. "If I can teach any one person at least one new thing then it's worth it." Teaching is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done because of its rewards. It is amazing sometimes to see the changes in people and their attitudes towards what they are learning.
Satya Lilly Subject: Belly Afro Fusion What do you like about teaching?: Seeing so much enthusiasm and improvement. What is your favourite stress relief technique?: Meditation and dancing of course.
