Testimonials

Beaudyl, Beauty Graduate

I was pretty confident before I enquired that I would sign up then and there, but after chatting with Sue, I was even more excited about starting. The ladies at Far North Training were so welcoming and helpful.

ABBY, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION GRADUATE

My confidence grew on the course, but the key thing for me was discovering what I wanted to do career wise.

GRACE, HOSPITALITY SKILL SET GRADUATE

I plan to pursue hospitality and put all the skills I’ve learnt to use.

JACQUI, BEAUTY GRADUATE

Having an experienced trainer right there to answer all our questions on the spot was great.

RACHAEL, HOSPITALITY SKILL SET GRADUATE

I gained experience dealing with customers and the confidence to do my job. Everything you learn has the ability to be transferrable if you let it.

LURLINE, CARING IN THE REGION GRADUATE

I had been cleaning for 20 years and I wanted a change. This course is all about providing care for people who need it.

About Us

Who we are

We've been helping Tropical North Queenslanders upskill, re-train and kick start careers since 2011. Far North Training and Consultancy (FNTC) are based in Mossman and we service communities throughout the region in Cooktown, Atherton, Mareeba, Ravenshoe, Cairns and Innisfail.

Not your standard RTO

We want to see our communities thrive and to that end community is at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with employers throughout the region to be sure that we are delivering courses that fill skills gaps in our workforce and that meet the needs of our local towns and villages. Our dedicated team of trainers are all locally based and offer a range of solutions to help you learn, develop and reach your full potential. We pride ourselves in delivering both a personalised and professional approach to our students with small group classes and greater focus on individual learning.
