"I often find it challenging to truly grasp/engage with the components of courses that teach 'soft' skills, which are harder to practice in a classroom environment. I found the structure of the course, with a mix of learning modules followed by scenarios that actually required using the skills, to be extremely effective in solving this disconnect."

"The programme introduces HF/NTS, uses practical exercises and case studies. It opened my eyes to processing every situation differently. As professional divers, my team and I are so technically oriented, that before Gareth’s programme, the level of thought placed on non-technical skills and human factors, was quite low.  I am confident that this programme has improved the performance of my team, so they can achieve more, improve their performance, and be safer.

My initial reservations were rooted in thoughts of, “this safety course will only serve to make my team and I too risk-averse; Safety getting in the way of producing operational output.” The opposite is the truth. Once the ideas are put into practice, applying the NTS and HF in diving will improve the performance of divers, they can achieve more, enjoy more, and as a side-effect, they will be safer."

"The course allowed me to step back and reanalyse my approach to teamwork / safety, and how to get the best out of the people I'm working with. I'm currently in a position where I'm often leading a team of people much more experienced than I am - doing this course has helped me see how to lead without needing to be the most experienced person in the room, but understanding that I'm there to facilitate the team to be the best it can be, and have the tools to do that."

Michael Menduno

"Definitely increased my awareness of Human Factors and the practical problems of applying it. I now see the world is much more nuanced."

Daryl Goldberg

"Without any exaggeration, this is truly 'life-saving stuff. The course filled in a lot of the knowledge gaps for me - many of which I didn't know I didn't know.'"

Felipe Mayer

"It is a course for life, not only for work! You have the opportunity to do some reflections which will result in a safer environment in any activity.'"
