What Students Say

Dear Phil, Wendy and the rest of the team, I want to express my deepest gratitude for all the incredible help and support you’ve both given me throughout my journey to completing my Certificate IV in Building Project Support. Your dedication and encouragement have meant so much to me. From guiding me through challenging topics to providing the resources and motivation I needed, you consistently went above and beyond. Thank you for believing in me, for your patience, and for your kindness every step of the way. I feel so fortunate to have had your support, and I’m excited to take the next steps in my career, confident in the solid foundation you’ve helped me build. And who knows – I might just find myself back soon for even more! Warmest thanks,

The CPC40120 – Cert IV in Building and Construction training through Back to Basics was excellent because the presenter used real-life experiences to show how to improve my skills in the building industry. All the materials and other documentation were made available as per the training schedule.I really enjoyed the course and Phil’s valuable information with real time examples were tremendous helpful along with his quick review and clarification. His feedback was specific, balanced, positive, respectful and supportive. Wendy, who look after the student records and engagement was highly professional and facilitated with all necessary information. The course was delivered to a high standard with useful information, and I feel more confident to deal with real time situations during my tenure in the building industry.

As previously advised, the process of getting on board at Back to Basics was completely seamless. Once starting the tasks, I found them interactive and very relevant to what I would experience at work during my day to day. The student support (Phil) was always extremely helpful and insightful with the feedback he provided. Phil was always happy to answer any of my questions and queries. Receiving feedback was super quick, having received it within 24 hours almost always. I would highly recommend you guys to anyone wishing to complete any of your courses!

Phil, Wendy, Annette and the Back to Basics team, thank you so much for your help, mentoring, encouragement and support throughout my course. I’m from the older generation, and facing the challenge of retraining for the construction industry, the prospect was overwhelming. However, you have made this journey not only achievable but truly remarkable. The help and support…and a lot of patience, helped me fully understand the course material in a meaningful way. Your passion and humour, for teaching and commitment to my success is palpable, providing a learning environment that is both supportive and inspiring. My drive to succeed was fuelled not only by my personal goals but also by my desire not to disappoint such an amazing team. Not only have I completed my course successfully and so much faster than I could imagine, I do feel I've also gained friends, not just educators. Thank you so much! I’m looking to see if there’s any other courses I can take with Back to Basics!
