Shirley and Geoff Bruns have been in business in Cohuna, Northern Victoria since 1996. During that time they have employed, and continue to employ people who have benefited from the training gained from Murray Mallee Training Co. Ltd.

They currently have one employee, who is just completing three years of training and study to gain his Certificate III in Agriculture – a course which he’s enjoyed and has covered all of the criteria needed to work in the field of Milk Harvesting. The advice, support and help given by the Training Consultants at Murray Mallee Training, has been much appreciated by both the directors of Premium Dairies, and also the trainee.

The study components required have been selected by the Trainee Providers in conjunction with the employers to provide the necessary skills and knowledge needed for the job, and the course tutors have all worked hard to make the Trainee feel at ease, and comfortable with the work load.

Their very friendly approach is appreciated. If at any time appointments have had to be changed to accommodate work programs, the people at Murray Mallee Training have been more than happy to change times of training sessions etc. to ensure work deadlines are met.

School Based trainees are also very well catered for with Murray Mallee Training Co. and Premium Dairies currently has one school based apprentice undertaking a course to gain his Certificate II in Agriculture.

Shirley and Geoff would like to extend grateful thanks to Murray Mallee Training Co. for their help, advice and assistance which have always been given willingly, and highly recommend the services which they offer.
