Optimism have helped us take some very complicated regulatory requirements and express these in interesting, fun, interactive and easy-to-understand training courses. As the main gateway to New Zealand, various regulators review our training programmes to make sure we are communicating security, health and safety, fire evacuation and biosecurity requirements clearly to all Airport users. There has universally been a high level of comfort and confidence expressed in the training courses Optimism team have developed, and we are very pleased with the end outcomes.

Optimism gave us the fresh new design we were looking for. They listened and worked closely with us to deliver a blended solution that felt new and exciting to our learners. The combination of animated video, eLearn, and motion graphics engaged our learners to upskill on an age old topic in a fresh new way that was tailored specifically to them.
