The Audiometric Officer Course with The Hearing Company was great. Glenn’s presenting style was informative and entertaining, which kept you interested at all times. After completing this course I felt much more confident about conducting audio tests at work and explaining the hearing test results. All the Skills Trainers were on hand to guide you through the practical sessions and offered good advice. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone working in Occupational Health.

The Occupational Audiometry Course was fantastic. Great mix of practical and theory with excellent coaching from lecturers. I now feel confident with all aspects of audiometric testing and reassured by my greater understanding of the Australian Standard and Code of Practice. Overall an excellent course! Very enjoyable and informative. I would definitely recommend the course. Well done!

Honestly, I was sceptical that a course in audiometry could be interesting. How wrong I was! We covered a lot of material in 4 days, but it never felt mundane or boring. Glenn made the content come alive with lots of real world examples and a great sense of humour. There was plenty of hands on practice with the audiometer and otoscope. Glenn is an excellent teacher. He was patient and very skilled at providing direction and correction. The course was engaging, fun and exceeded my expectations!

I loved this course. It was presented in just the right order and I felt like the next question I wanted to ask was always the next point covered. There wasn’t anything that was left out or that I felt needed more time. PERFECT!!

Having done many short courses this one has left me with a lasting impression – I feel confident and capable of being a ‘champion’ in my future work in audiometric testing and the wider ‘noisy’ world.
