You may have realised by now that I am interested in the quality and professionalism of the vocational education and training (VET) community. That is why I write these blogs and undertake the work I do. Recently I found some research undertaken by Hugh Guthrie, NCVER in relation to the quality of trainers, assessors and RTO staff. It is interesting reading. A summary of his findings are…
Guthrie argues that professional development is just one approach to improving the quality of the VET workforce. A strong professional culture in the workplace and better approaches to recruitment, job design, industrial relations, workplace and performance management also need to play their part. Whatever the approach, professional development needs adequate resourcing if it is to be effective.
Guthrie’s view of the certificate IV in Training and Assessing is that it is a sound qualification as long as it is taught well and adequate support is provided.
If you are looking for the TAA/TAE qualification that provides quality information, skills and knowledge then look no further. I am conducting workshops here in WA and can also travel to other states for groups.
I also enjoy conducting Professional development workshops for RTO’s and their staff. I get so much pleasure from developing people and their skills.
Contact me for further information.
