What Sunshine Coast Businesses Say
"We run a childcare center in Buderim with 22 staff. IRFA comes to our center every year to train everyone on the same day. They work around our staffing ratios, train educators in small groups throughout the day, and everyone gets their HLTAID012 certificates before they leave. Makes ACEQA compliance so much easier. Can't recommend them enough."
"Our construction company has 40 staff across 3 Sunshine Coast sites. IRFA organized separate training sessions at each location over one week - Caloundra, Maroochydore, and Nambour. The trainers focused on construction-specific scenarios like falls, crush injuries, and heat stroke. Professional service, competitive group pricing, and zero disruption to our projects."
"We operate 4 retail stores on the Sunshine Coast and needed all store managers (12 people) trained as first aid officers. IRFA did the training at our Maroochydore head office on a Sunday morning. The group discount saved us over $200 compared to individual bookings, and having everyone trained together improved our overall safety culture. Would definitely use again."
