Vocational Training is a profession, not a job. It has prime responsibilities for the education of existing and future generations of workers. As a profession we play a key part in maintaining the productivity and international competitiveness of our great nation. Therefore, when you choose an RTO to train you as a professional, look for those who are committed to their own professionalism - and yours!

n our program you will:

• acquire the basic skills required to unpack a training package or accredited curriculum to develop the blueprints for designing assessments, resources and programs
• learn simple methods of clustering units to avoid boring repetitive training experiences based on the principle of holistic delivery and assessment
• conduct a Training Needs Analysis and a Recognition of Current Competencies in order to customised training for individuals and groups
• gain an appreciation of how to apply learning theories to practical, pragmatic and creative training techniques
• apply personal creativity to creating basic assessment instruments that are compliant with AQTF standards
• get resources that will provide you with support and in-depth information as the basis for professional practice for years to come

If you are serious about your profession, so are we! Because we teach what we practice every day, you are assured of training value that is not tied to 'lowest price-lowest common denominator'. Our program will take you the equivalent of 14 days full time workshop training plus time to develop a range of documents directly relevent to planning, implementing and reviewing training and assessment. This takes an average of 3-6 months to complete part time. Our strength is that we are professional instructional designers. The benefit to you, like our other graduates, is that you learn these skills from us so that you can compete for the more superior jobs and will position you for transition to Diploma courses. We also offer the full range of electives, so that you can customise your course for your job role, whether that is a workplace trainer, an RTO trainer or have responsibilities for training record management and marketing. We also offer BSB30907 Certificate III in Business Administration (Education) with training in records management for training organisation administrative assistants. This qualification is available as both a User Choice and an Existing Worker (Enterprise PPP) Traineeship.
