“The feedback I’ve received from our branches have been most encouraging. The Facilitators are masters in their field, they are engaging, were able to get and hold the attention of our Staff and made the H & S training experience a positive experience.
We’ve gone from seeing FAFST as a Service Provider to viewing FAFST as our H & S Training Partner in a short period of time. Whenever any of our requests fell outside the scope of FAFST and Absolute Health, Tiyana will provide an alternative solution or make suggestions we can consider.
Thank you to Tiyana, Dawn and the rest of the Team in making our H&S journey a remarkable, memorable experience.”
