Testimonials

Firstly, the course was completed as planned and all members had a long but very rewarding day. Please pass on our appreciation and many thanks to Rob for his tuition and company. He certainly proved to be a true old style professional and his presentations both theory and practical of what we needed to know and how’s and why’s were well put across. We hope he got some satisfaction and pleasure out of the day our members definitely did and gained confidence and are now more knowledgeable from the experience.

“I am writing to let you know we have appreciated working with Interlink as a provider of training for our employees.

We have a regular program of training for new and young employees as well as mature age employees seeking to formalise years of experience. Interlink’s approach has been very helpful in managing this variety of students, while delivering learning outcomes that consider industry benefits beyond the textbook. I believe this is a result of:
• Developing a good relationship with business owners to ensure they are intimately engaged in the learning process;
• Having a thorough approach to understanding individual ‘s on-the-job requirements and desired learning outcomes;
• Using a number of industry experts to assist in the delivery of training; and
• Having a training schedule that does not require employees to be away from duties every week.

We look forward to continuing our investment in training with the assistance of Interlink.”

I recently had a course experience with Sasha, it ran for 3 days in total.
I wanted to let you know that it was the most informative, educational and engaging couple of days I have had while on my apprenticeship and I want to recognize the educator Sasha as I believe it is all because of him and his great teaching, providing high quality equipment and knowledge!

I think great work should be acknowledged and wanted to make sure he was recognized.

Our apprentice recently completed their Certificate III in Arboriculture with Interlink who is so pleased to be officially qualified and to share that moment with our team.

He would like to send his thanks to Sasha; he really liked the way he taught, and his enthusiasm made it easy to engage. He actually really enjoyed this last part of his training and got much more out of the training sessions than with the previous RTO.  Thank you.

We are a main contractor to the City of Mandurah, Western Australia’s largest regional city covering an area of 173km. To maintain this urban and regional forest takes a skilled and dedicated team. One of the biggest challenges that we have faced in our area is finding qualified and experienced staff.

I have been working with Interlink Training and MEGT to successfully upskill budding new arborists into the industry through their Cert 3 program.

Sascha from Interlink Training has been utilising our golf course for hands on training of students for some time.

Throughout the training sessions, I have witnessed Sascha comply with all workplace health and safety procedures and guidelines. He has very clear, informative and concise communication skills.

As a result of the exceptional arborist knowledge and expertise Sascha is handing down to his students our course has become a much safer place to play golf for our members and patrons.

My name is Youzy Vasquez and I recently completed a Certificate III level Arboriculture climbing course [AHARB319 and AHARB318] with Interlink Training in Queensland.  Sascha Seifritz was the trainer. 

This was the first time I had dealt with Interlink Training. I found the first phone call, to the last minute of my course and through to promptly receiving my completion certificate, to be very professional.

The training delivered and the information “taught” was of the highest quality. I write taught in inverted commas as it feels these days you are not taught anything, you are thrown information and told where to write down that info in your assessment.

Sascha managed to deliver the best short course I have ever attended. He created an amazing team environment of positivity and encouragement amongst all the students. We would arrive in the morning to everything seamlessly planned and already set up, where required, before class even started. 

I highly recommend your organisation to anyone and already have another guy, along with myself, interested in completing the Cert III in Arboriculture through you.  

Thank you to the whole Interlink team for delivering such wonderful courses. I wish Interlink all the best in the future.

A huge thanks to Sasha and the team from Interlink Training who have been using our school grounds for hands on training of arboriculture students. The vital work they performed has helped improve the visual landscape while making the school grounds safer.

Training coordinator, Sasha, has been a consummate professional. He was easy to work with, ensured all workplace health and safety procedures were followed, and provided informative and clear instructions throughout the work.

As a result of the expert arborist knowledge Sasha is handing down to students, our grounds are looking better and safer than ever.

I had such a great experience completing my Access Trees for Inspection course with Sascha.

It was my first time climbing and it can be a little overwhelming learning about all the equipment required and different processes, but Sascha was so helpful and supported me each step of the way.

Not only was he extremely knowledgeable on the theory content, his many years of climbing experience really shone through in the practical aspect when he was teaching. His calm teaching manner was really helpful for myself and the other students, especially in some of the more challenging aspects.

Sascha also encouraged a supportive team environment where the other students were looking out for each other, which really reinforces safe climbing in a working environment. His passion for climbing made the course so enjoyable and I left feeling excited and prepared.

My name is Walter and I am a volunteer Firefighter with Wasp Creek on the Gold Coast. On Saturday 20 June I attended the Operate and Maintain Chainsaws (AHCMOM213) course with Sascha Seifritz. 

Being an ex-police officer, and prior to that, repairing aircraft (Boeing 727s, DC9s), I have attended many courses over my lifetime. I found this course with Sascha, perhaps the best one I have attended.

Sascha was able to pass on his extensive knowledge to me and the other nine people in our class with ease; we all learnt exactly what he was training us to do. He was very calm, spoke very clearly, and demonstrated every aspect of what we needed to learn. He never got side tracked and, at all times, had the total concentration of the class, which only comes with a trainer of the expertise Sascha has.

I feel I am a much better chainsaw operator as a result of Sascha training me. I definitely look forward to the next course I do in training using chainsaws, with Sascha as trainer of course.

I completed the “Fell Trees Manually (Intermediate)” Training provided by Interlink in Loganholme and Doonan on the 9th and 10th of October 2024. I am a Trainer Assessor myself and have seen a lot of trainers at work, both as a student and a trainer.

I found Sascha Seifritz to be an engaging and knowledgeable trainer. He was able to explain even relatively complex concepts and processes in a manner that made it possible for anyone to understand them.

Once we got out into the field on our second day, it was obvious that Sascha has a huge wealth of knowledge and experience that underpins his training delivery. Despite the rain, Sascha was able to keep the practical activities moving safely and selected activities for each student that were tailored to their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Sascha supports his students to enable them to gain knowledge and competency, which, from my observations and experience, is often not the case. This training has hugely expanded my knowledge around tree felling as well as giving me some strategies for my own training delivery.

I would thoroughly recommend Interlink, and Sascha, to anyone who requires training in this field. I thoroughly enjoyed my two days of training; they were an absolute standout from all the training I’ve observed over the last couple of decades.

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional support I received during my enrolment in the Certificate III in Arboriculture program.

In the initial year of my studies, I encountered challenges in understanding the scope of the assignments, and I felt that the in-class lessons were not adequately structured to facilitate the timely completion of larger assignments.

However, the arrival of Sascha as a trainer significantly changed my experience. With Sascha’s guidance, my colleague and I were able to regain our focus and effectively complete the course.

I am pleased to inform you that I have since completed my Certificate in Climbing and Tree Works Coordination, and I now possess the confidence and skills necessary to excel in our field.

I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to Amelia and the other office staff for their assistance throughout this process. Your efforts made this journey a smooth and rewarding experience.

Thank you once again for your support.

– Joel Horsburgh

I would like to express my appreciation for the exceptional training provided by Sascha Seifritz and Loz during the Certificate III in Arboriculture, along with Amelia in the office.

Throughout the entire course, the quality of instruction, depth of knowledge, and hands-on approach were evident. This ensured all participants gained valuable skills applicable to real-world industry settings.

Both Sascha and Lozdemonstrated a thorough understanding of the subject matter, delivering lessons in a structured and engaging manner. Their ability to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications made the learning experience both insightful and rewarding. The support provided to the cohort — both in and out of the classroom — fostered a positive and productive learning environment.

I highly recommend Interlink Training for anyone seeking high-quality training in arboriculture. Their commitment to excellence in education and industry relevance is truly commendable.

Today I finished my last module for my Cert III and am very excited to transition from an apprentice to a tradesperson.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the expert training I received in the tree dismantling class last week.

The theory covered on Day 1 provided us with a strong foundation for the practical exercises that followed. Sascha’s ability to teach from both the heart and his vast experience made the training truly exceptional.

While Day 1 was good, the hands-on training on Days 2 and 3 was where everything truly came together. Sascha’s attention to detail, combined with his willingness to adapt to the different experience levels and learning styles within the group, ensured that everyone benefited greatly.

As my time as a training arborist comes to an end and my certification is within reach, I can confidently say that this has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life. Having transitioned from a primary school teacher with a side business in stump grinding to running a predominantly tree-focused business, I knew I needed to upskill both myself and my staff.

From my initial conversation with Amelia to enrolling myself and my two sons in the Cert III training, the entire process with Interlink Training has been seamless. While I’m sad that my training is ending, I’m pleased that my sons will continue to learn from the best at Interlink.

The course itself was comprehensive, well-structured, and equipped me with the practical skills and knowledge needed to safely and effectively become a Certified Arborist. The training facilities were excellent, and the staff were supportive and professional throughout. I would highly recommend Interlink to anyone seeking training in this field.

Thank you again for a truly valuable learning experience.
