Testimonials
John Williams, Director of JHW
JHW started using the Karstens facilities for its Consulting Skills Workshops in 2007, and has now moved nearly all of its city based workshops to Karstens. We have found that we have a partnership with Karstens, rather than the transactional nature of other training and conference facilities that we have used in the city.
The facilities are smart and well run as you would expect. The premium for us is the co operation from the staff whether that is a last minute date or numbers change, storage space for materials between events or help in promoting our workshops. Everybody these days talks about partnership — we feel that Karstens walk that talk!
Stana Murrells, Training Administrator, MYOB
MYOB began their business relationship with Karstens around November 2009. At the time we were seeking a new training centre to relocate from our office at Southbank and to commence training in January 2010. Needless to say everything had to be in place in a very short time with Xmas being just around the corner as well.
Fiona and I organised the business processes very quickly and worked together to efficiently accommodate both parties with their policies and procedures. We communicate frequently and resolve queries or issues very promptly and with no fuss, this has been the result of building a very natural rapport and created a fabulous working relationship. The staff and management at Karstens have gone far and beyond their call of duty in their extra mile service of excellence, stock our manuals on their premises which save us huge courier costs, even supply us with monthly stock takes.
They have excellent quality with tea and coffee refreshments, very comfortable guest lounge areas and the environment is superb with their furnishings. The lunch menu caters for all choice and requirements, vegetarian menu, not to mention the buffet lunch which has been a huge success with our clients that were very impressed on the day.
Our trainers feel like they are treated with silver service by Andrew and Fiona on their training sessions. Our training room is all set up with the class collateral, Andrew, is brilliant and makes sure all our PC’s are loaded with the right image and everything is in order and working well before the trainer even arrives.
We are extremely fortunate and very grateful that we have managed to find such a great facility and the service is simply remarkable.

"When you have a full day of training ahead, the last thing you want to worry about is setting up your training room and making sure that things like laptops and data projectors work properly. I have found that the attention to detail, responsiveness, and level of service that the people at Karstens provide, ensure that my sessions always run smoothly, allowing me to focus on my training delivery and on my learners."
