What ICETS students say about our courses
FT
Overseas student Soloman Island Ombudsman
“This course had me learnt a lot of things from the course materials, assignments and our very knowledgeable and experience facilitator, Gavin. With what I had learnt in this ICETS training, I hope that in the near future I will be a competent leader and investigator. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be enrolled in this program with ICETS. This had been tense, but a training that is worth doing. So on behalf of myself and my family, we would like to thank you.”

Though there was a lot of content to cover in the nine days, the lecturer, Ronni made it very easy and pleasant to follow, it was well communicated and explained, lots of good practical examples, lots of interaction with other students. It exceeded my expectations because of the practical approach, and real case scenarios. I have done other courses with other providers and this one was the best.

Ronni was exceptional. She was extremely engaging and made some rather dry topics as interesting as possible. She was very approachable and easy to understand.

Ronnie was one of the best facilitators I’ve had throughout my many education experiences. She clearly has a true passion for helping others understand investigations, was knowledgeable and very approachable.

We moved through a lot of content without compromising on quality – we had the opportunity to test our understanding in conversation and practice.

The classroom experience was great, the timing of lessons was well managed, and the course-work was interesting and engaging. I didn’t feel bored or disinterested at any point, which is excellent considering it’s a virtual classroom.

Ronni was a fantastic facilitator! Everything was incredibly well-explained in an engaging manner. Ronni’s personal experience adds a great layer of depth to the course delivery, with a great light-hearted energy and humour mixed in throughout.

Both excellent and it was great to see how aligned they were in many ways. Having the two presenters meant that there were useful insights from two very different backgrounds.
TM

Excellent, both Nadine and Ronni were very knowledgeable and due to their past employment were able to draw on past experience to provide scenarios and context to course materials. I would say this has probably been the best training I have attended!

The trainers were very engaging and helpful and provided a safe space for asking questions and to speak up if you didn’t understand. Marking of assessments was super quick and the feedback given was very encouraging.

Nadine and Ronni were a fantastic duo and really complimented each other. I really enjoyed the practical activities, working in pairs and teamwork. The classroom was calm and conducive to learning, we were happy to ask for more information if needed. Although quite intensive, the trainers and the other students did a great job of keeping the content interesting and participants engaged.

This online course was intensive, however the facilitation was first rate with extensively experienced staff taking the students through the world of investigation ensuring understanding of legislation, the authorised officer requirements and techniques for professionally conducting and managing investigations. The availability of the facilitator in and out of class time was impressive.

I recently completed a course through ICETS, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The learning experience was exceptional, with the course content being both well-structured and engaging.
A huge part of this success was thanks to Ronni Browning, whose teaching methods are second to none. Ronni has an incredible ability to connect with her students, breaking down complex topics into clear, understandable concepts. Her passion for teaching and genuine care for her students' success made all the difference.
This course not only gave me the skills I needed but also ignited a real enthusiasm for the subject. Thank you, ICETS, and especially Ronni, for such a transformative learning experience!

I’d like to show my gratitude toward Ronni & Nadine. And whole ICETS team.
Ronni go above and beyond every single day! You make learning fun and engaging. Your love for teaching is evident in every lesson and interaction. Our assessment always marked within a few hours of the submission with well explained details feedback. Highly recommending if you are non- investigation background. I am from non- investigation background and I have received wonderful support and service from Ronni and Nadine to complete the my certificate.
I really appreciate all that you do in ICETS, specially how the Ronni takes the time to make sure that whole class understands everything that’s going on in the classroom. Her patience and commitment have made a big difference in training.
thank you for helping to develop and build my confidence in learning.

I enrolled in the 9-day virtual course and online classes are conducted on Zoom and the resources and course materials provided are great. The course pace is fast, but the classroom experience was excellent. It's important to stay attentive!
Sharon (aka Ronnie) is a great facilitator; her teaching methods are easy to follow, and the course examples will be remembered for a long time. Additionally, Ronnie was always prompt in her replies to calls or emails. :)
