I am Murray Eekhoff currently involved in driver, and vocational training. Throughout the week I deliver vocational training in multiple transport companies throughout the SE QLD and on the weekend, I provide various vehicle driving lessons. I have had extensive experience in the transport and logistics industry, where I have developed my knowledge and skills to transition into the training environment.
I came from a family of 8 and grew up in Salisbury where I attended Salisbury State Primary School and Mac Gregor State High School. My most outstanding achievement in life is raising my 2 beautiful daughters who have grown into 2 responsible women in the community.
As a driving instructor, I treat everyone with respect to achieve their desired learning outcomes on their first attempt. This means, I give the students raw honest feedback on their driving ability with no sugar coating to advance their driving expectation where I have achieved over 90% pass rate on their first attempt but for the unsuccessful students, as they say in the classic “you can lead a horse to water, but they don’t have to drink the water”, which is disappointing and depressing for me.
In my spare time, I attend to the yard, educational research, analyses horses’ performance, artistic ventures, and social and family commitments.
