I can't recommend them enough. Every time I train here I learn so much. The equipment that the pupil can use is the latest and best on the market. They always have new devices which you can learn to use and then add to your arsenal of devices in the field. The training centre itself has enough space to set up any scenario you can imagine. All in all a great experience as ever. ### Louise PacRopes L1 Student Cam was my instructor. He's incredibly knowledgeable and extremely patient. His demonstrations were clear and concise. The facility is well equipped and very versatile. The whole team was pleasant and informative. Highly recommend if you're looking for an exciting career path! ### Devon PacRopes L1 Student Have had a great week so far, all training has been completed and all that is left is practice and the test. I feel very competent completing the level 1 training tasks and look forward to finishing my level one. Want to say a big thanks to Aaron for being very professional and helpful when needed. Will be back for level 2 ### Kirsten Walker PacRopes L1 Student Great teachers full of patience and knowledge. Leveling up requires a lot of new skills and maneuvers, Aaron broke everything down really well and simplified everything perfectly. His knowledge is plentiful. My course was a small group which was awesome to cover things quickly with more time for practice. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://3894618.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3894618/PR_2023%20Company%20Video_Marketing_FINAL.mov", "dateModified" : "2023-06-29T16:40:08.743Z", "duration" : "PT1M15S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "PR_2023 Company Video_Marketing_FINAL", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://api-na1.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/thumbnail-redirect/122823829524?portalId=3894618&size=medium", "uploadDate" : "2023-06-29T16:39:52.813Z", "width" : 1920 } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://3894618.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3894618/Website%202021-GN/Training/second-video.mp4", "dateModified" : "2022-04-13T19:07:47.925Z", "duration" : "PT58S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "second-video", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://api-na1.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/thumbnail-redirect/71025762829?portalId=3894618&size=medium&t=1649876868121", "uploadDate" : "2022-04-13T18:38:58.049Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
