APT Training is a specialist hydraulics and mobile plant training organisation, delivering training across areas such as excavators and heavy equipment operation and maintenance. Founded in 2004 by Allan Probert, the business has grown steadily over the years, with his son Kyle Probert joining a few years later and becoming heavily involved in day-to-day operations.
As a founder-led organisation, APT Training has built a strong reputation in its field, blending practical expertise with hands-on training.

As APT Training expanded, particularly after moving into a new workshop, the internal approach to IT became increasingly unsustainable. Like many founder-led organisations, IT responsibilities had gradually fallen to one person internally. This meant:
Over time, the organisation ended up with a “mishmash” of systems, hardware, software and providers, with no single strategy or standardised infrastructure in place. The lack of a central point of contact for all things IT made it difficult to scale confidently and manage change as the business continues to grow.
“What stood out was the planning and the people. We weren’t just handed an email address. We knew who was looking after our systems, we spoke to Senior Engineers, and they took the time to understand our business. That gave us real confidence.”
APT Training engaged Myrtec to act as a one-stop shop for their entire IT environment. From the outset, the focus was on planning, not just fixing issues as they arose. The teams sat down together to design an IT strategy that includes all systems and infrastructure, creating a single, cohesive plan to support the business both now and into the future. Key elements of the solution included:
Importantly, the IT partnership provides flexibility through a no-lock-in approach, giving the business confidence they can adapt their systems as the organisation evolves, without fear of unintended consequences.
“There’s a lot of reassurance in knowing Myrtec is always there when we need them. The Managed IT, without lock-in, made us feel comfortable making changes and planning for growth.”
With a clear roadmap in place, APT Training knows exactly where they’re heading. They are incrementally ticking off IT projects on their roadmap as time and budget allow. So far, their team are reaping these benefits:
