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.

I have been extremely comfortable using the online learning platform. I found it straightforward and easy to navigate. Having access to my trainer, Anita via messages on the platform is an awesome feature. I've enjoyed the course very much and the support has been amazing!

Working with IRLearning has been a seamless process for my pool inspection training. The quality of instruction provided me with valuable insights and practical skills that I can immediately apply. 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.
