APT SPECIALIST HYDRAULICS AND TRAINING - Key Persons
Allan Probert is the namesake and founder of APT (Allan Probert Training). Creating greater understanding around hydraulics is what drove Al to start APT 20 years ago and this is still what drives our mission today. Greater understanding means greater safety and efficiency, and with new technology we are now able to make our training accessible to tradies and engineers all across Australia. With nearly 50 years of hands-on hydraulics experience under his belt Al enjoys helping out with our custom hydraulics clients and has the knowledge to find a solution no matter how tricky the problem.
Brock is one of a kind. He's always brimming with ideas, and goes the extra mile to prepare a great student experience. If you take his classes you'll know how calmly this energy comes through, as he takes time to explain things properly and make sure everyone is on the same page.
Drew is one of our trainers who has many years of onsite experience and has helped us take the APT trailers all around Australia. With a love of travel and getting out in Australia, if you can't find Drew in the workshop you might not be able to find him, as he is likely camping out in beautiful rural Australia.
One of the highlights of Jim's career has been transitioning into the role of a trainer after working as a supervisor. He's excited to be working together with students to help them overcome any challenges they are facing as well as supporting the rest of the team here at APT. When he's not in the workshop or travelling for training, you'll find Jim building custom cars, riding motorbikes or escaping the world by going camping.
With 20 years of experience working in the mining industry, Martin truly knows what it takes to succeed on site. Side-stepping from his previous career path Martin is excited by the new challenges he will face as a trainer as well as the opportunity to help train the next generation of hydraulics professionals. When Martin isn't busy helping students in the workshop you'll find him spending time with his friends and loved ones, or out in nature camping or fishing.
Scott has been with the APT team for over 10 years now and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training students. Scott loves being out on the road and travelling to help students learn the skills that are going to help them succeed in the workplace.

But Scott isn't all work and no play, on the weekends you might see him out and about on his Ducati. Have a chat to him about it when you come in for your next training session!
