Andrew Saunders – Chief Executive Officer

Andrew is responsible for all Vertical Horizonz business ventures in

Australia, and will work with you to meet your training delivery goals.

Dave Maiden - Training Manager

Dave looks after all operational requirements for Vertical Horizonz, and

ensures students receive the quality training that Vertical Horizonz

prides itself.

Juan Porras - Office Manager

We know your industry

As subject matter experts, our trainers speak from experience, demonstrating

industry best practice and providing practical and contextualized advice. They

understand the everyday challenges faced by your employees, and are well

positioned to provide meaningful training experiences.

We provide tailored learning experiences

Vertical Horizonz Australia does not sell widgets. We deliver tailored learning

solutions that are matched to our client’s needs. We are happy to take the

time and visit our client’s workplaces and craft a program that delivers the

best possible value and then provide customised quotes on that program.

We deliver where and when you need it

Wherever you are in the world, Vertical Horizonz will be there to provide

safety advice and training. Our head office is located in Brisbane, Australia,

and our fully mobile team delivers training for our clients across the world.

We have access to classroom facilities across Australia, New Zealand and

Middle East and regularly train clients in the Pacific, Papua New Guinea and

Mongolia.

Our team will deliver wherever there are suitable training facilities. We will

work with you to identify a suitable location to provide the training you need

anywhere in the world. We are fully flexible in our approach, and can provide

training whenever it is needed, even delivering 24/7 if required.

We keep our promises

At Vertical Horizonz, we pride ourselves on our ability to achieve milestones

and meet deadlines. We have stated enquiry response targets, and work very

hard to meet any commitments we make. It is our policy not to make promises

we can’t keep.

Our referees are more than happy to confirm our dedication to keeping our

promises.

We have high standards

Our comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) is at the core of

everything we do. We do not compromise on quality. We have high standards,

will lead with integrity, and will walk away from business if a customer asks us

to cut corners with training delivery.

Our project management methodology is robust, and we will provide you with

a rigorous approach to achieving safety certainty.

We do the paperwork for you

We keep full records of learning for individuals for 30 years, in compliance

with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015.

All candidates will receive on successful completion a statement of attainment

or full qualification, delivered to their home postal address, after successful

course completion.

Any candidates who are not competent at the end of a course are given an

explanation of why they are not competent, and what they need to do to be

re- assessed.

We are constantly improving

We have a range of feedback mechanisms to ensure we always provide

exceptional safety training experiences.

After each course, the trainer or assessor will complete a report, identifying

any issues or opportunities for improvement.

Our candidates are asked to complete a feedback form after each course is

completed.

We incorporate any of your feedback into our review and continuous

improvement process.

All feedback is addressed as part of our quality management system.

• 1800 advice line where Client Companies and Employees can get free up

to date information relating to Qualification requirements for work to be

Warning: It is possible that not everyone nominated by our client will meet

the funding criteria. Each individual is assessed prior to sign up. We suggest

that if the individual meets specific funding requirements for training, they
