Great staff here. They are very friendly helpful and experienced. Great facilities and equipment. I have just completed my vehicle loading crane and dog man courses.
My tutors Robbie (vehicle loading crane) and Mark and Gerry (Dogman) were awesome they made the whole experience worthwhile. Their skills knowledge and industry experience made the learning interesting and achievable. Big thanks to those guys.

The onsite accommodation is also good comfortable and great value for money. I highly recommend Ascent training and would happily study here again.

Theodore Calabrese is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. And a big thank you to Kevin for running the show in the background and sorting out anything I required when onsite, especially after another company in the area pulled out last minute. Ascent Training truly stepped up when I needed it. These are the guys you want to be training with. If I could, I’d give them 6 stars that’s exactly what they deserve! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the privilege to sit my dogman ticket at Ascent training. Was under the tutelage of Theo and Irish Mark for theory and practical. At first glance the theory assessment was daunting and intimidating but with Theo’s tutoring and knowledge also mixed with his awesome people skills and being able to relate the questions to scenarios or situations that were easier to understand and answer made the theory side of the course a lot easier than expected. Theo also took time during classes to help guide the students who weren’t ‘book’ learners. Theo doing that made the students who struggled understand easier and were able to grasp a hold of the course.

Irish Mark was awesome his enthusiasm when out on the floor was great but also his ability to teach the class in a calmer way that we understood easier. If any of us were struggling in each way Mark was able to give us little ‘tips and tricks’ that we could try and made it easier to understand in our own way. I also came across Jerry who was helping instruct with our practical dogman course. Jerry was also awesome and was able to also give tips and tricks that made it easier to grasp the concepts of what we were struggling with at the time.

Theo, Irish Mark and Jerry. Absolutely appreciate and am really grateful to have crossed paths and been under your guys wings the last week.

Kevin, top facilities and awesome compound. Highly recommended.

Great training centre with excellent facilities. I’ve completed a few courses here and just finished the Basic Rigging course with John.

John was a great instructor – very knowledgeable and able to explain everything in a practical way that makes it easy to understand. No matter what question was asked, he always had a clear explanation.

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to complete their high-risk training. I’ll definitely be back for future courses.

In recent months l have completed 5 tickets three of them being high risk. The trainers l had, being Theo, Mark and Gavin are very good at their craft and very passionate about what they do and how they go about engaging the students and proudly representing Ascent Training Solutions.
I commend them and also to the head office administration and management staff. Sueanne handled predominantly all my processes and provided wonderful guidance and prompt and clear communication. Her bedside manner was tremendous.
Congratulations to you all and l certainly will recommend your services to anyone that is intending to complete their tickets.
Kind Regards

Mark Lynch was my trainer for the dogman course and he really helped me and the whole class. I went into my theory test very confident because the lessons were full of information. In the practical lessons Mark really helped me understand dogging and how to sling loads up safely.

Ascent Training is a well oiled machine run by a team of experienced professionals who really know their stuff. Here’s the thing though, what makes Ascent Training unique is the people who pass on their skill's, knowledge and experience the same way a benevolent family member would. They want us to succeed. I was encouraged to dig deep at times and even experienced some tough love when I repeated a mistake with the whistle. Anyway, after 7 full days and 5 nights, I passed my assessments in Dogman, C6 crane and Forklift. Thank you Kevin and team!

Ascent Training sets the bar high. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in your progress — they take the time to teach proper technique, tailor sessions to your goals, and push you to perform at your best. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and has an awesome community vibe that makes every session enjoyable. The programming is challenging yet achievable, and the atmosphere is always supportive and motivating. Been here for a few tickets now and have received the same excellent level of training each time

Hands down, the BEST training experience I’ve ever had!
I just completed my EWP licence with Ascent Training Solutions, and I can’t recommend them highly enough – especially Theo. From the moment the course started, Theo was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just teach the content – he made sure we understood it, making safety and confidence the top priorities.

Theo’s training style is next level – clear explanations, real-world examples, and a good dose of humour to keep everyone engaged. The practical side was run smoothly and efficiently, and I walked away feeling 100% confident operating an EWP.

If you're thinking about doing any kind of training – don't waste time looking around. Just go to Ascent and ask for Theo. Absolute legend. 💯

Thanks again Theo & the Ascent team – you guys set the standard!

I recently completed a course at ascent training centre in richlands, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall experience. From the moment I enrolled, the process was smooth and professional. The administrative staff were helpful, responsive, and made sure I had everything I needed before starting.

The training itself was well-structured, hands-on, and focused on real-world applications. Theo was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made even the more complex topics easy to understand. Their industry experience really came through in the way they taught, using practical examples that helped tie everything together.

The facilities were modern, clean, and fully equipped with the tools and equipment we needed. Whether it was the classroom materials or the hands-on training environment, everything was designed to help students succeed.

I also appreciated the supportive learning atmosphere. The trainers encouraged questions, gave constructive feedback, and ensured everyone was keeping up before moving on.

Overall, I highly recommend ascent training to anyone looking to gain new skills, upskill for work, or get certified in their field. It’s clear they take pride in delivering high-quality education and genuinely care about student success
