Participant Testimonials

I completed the Aquatic Technical Operator course with IRLearning. I have worked for over four years in the Aquatic Industry and now Coordinate a busy facility. Our trainer, Lee, was very knowledgeable and I was able to bounce ideas and gain clarification on correct processes. Lee was also able to make suggestions on how to fix an unusual stain in one of our pools, which was great. Overall, the course is well thought out, organised and the trainers are professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend IRL to other facilities for training on aquatic operations.

The course content was relevant and up-to-date, tailored to meet the demands of today’s ever-changing regulations. The support from the IRLearning team was outstanding, always available to answer questions and provide guidance whenever needed. My time with IRLearning has been invaluable, and I highly recommend their courses to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and skills.
