Message from the Directors

Picture
Congratulations and thank you to our team at Progressive Training on achieving re-registration for another 7 years with our regulatory authority. I acknowledge the leadership of our CEO Jason Driscoll supported by Steve Meeny in Compliance, Casey Taylor in Client Services, Sue Backshall in Business Development, Kris and Ree in Finance, Stacey Ackley It Support and Graem Watts, in WorkSafe and high-risk training.
 
​
I further acknowledge David Sims and Aidan Feddersen in Glass and Glazing who have raised the training and assessment services to a very high standard. We thank the Glass and Glazing businesses that utilise our services and key industry representatives Peter den Boer, Patrick Gavaghan and Steve Cuff for their exceptional support of us as we have worked through industry specific audits, and ongoing continuous improvements on what we took over a few years ago from another provider.
 
Thank you to Amanda Dawson for leading our Childcare Training and the invaluable support from Kelly Burton and staff from Bambi Child Care Centre and Kylie Quinones from Early Explorers Learning Centre.
 
I also acknowledge the contribution of Geoff Oliver who has provided valuable compliance support to us for years. Geoff has challenged and trained our team towards meeting the ever-increasing regulatory burden.
 
We thank our clients and those who operate in auspicing arrangements with us for their contribution and trust, when we have continued to ask more and more from you as compliance and audit requirements significantly ramped up from 2015 onwards.
 
We look forward to serving the VET sector in the coming years as we strive to enable students to gain qualifications for a range of employment streams, and specific skills to help them in the workplace.
 
Geoff and Kris Feddersen
Directors

​It is with the greatest of pleasure and utmost pride that we’re able to present this edition of Newsline. There have been several significant achievements over the last few months and I’d like to touch on each one. That being said…  none come bigger than Progressive Training’s successful re-registration as an RTO until 2026!

​
​Re-registration Audit – Successful!
With our previous 5-year registration period coming to an end in June 2019, our re-registration site audit was conducted by the National Regulator, ASQA, in July. After a couple of months awaiting a result, we finally have one and it is the outcome we were all aiming to achieve… 7 years of re-registration! Whilst the Company Directors have offered congratulations and thanks in both this edition of Newsline and via Progressive’s Facebook Page to those who have helped and contributed to this outcome, as the CEO, an achievement of this magnitude can’t go past without some personal acknowledgments from myself.

NEWSLINE - April 2018

​​​​Welcome all, to the first edition of Progressive Training’s Newsline for 2018!
It is very pleasing to kick the first Newsline for the year off with such a positive feel on what 2018 has in- store! The hard work our dedicated team put in throughout 2017 has meant we have hit the ground running in 2018 and are positioned for a very busy and exciting year.  My Newsline articles throughout last year highlighted the huge change in direction Progressive Training has taken, delving into Glass and Glazing, Childcare, Skills through Employment and Education Program (SEE), whilst still maintaining a focus on the existing training we’ve had on offer over previous years, such as High Risk Licences and Business Services courses. In this first edition, I’d like to touch on those new ventures with an overview of how we have commenced 2018.

(Participants in the SEE Program engaging in the BSBITU101 – Operate a personal computer Unit of Competency)
​
Three months ago, I moved to Broome to take on the position of Lead Trainer for the SEE Program (Skills through Education and Employment).  It has been exciting and fulfilling knowing I’ve been instrumental in building the program from what was 1-2 clients / one day per week to averaging 6 -10 per day, every day. We have enrolled our clients into Certificate I in Leadership and we started off with the BSBITU101 unit – Operate a Personal Computer. As of now we have just had our first completion of that unit and we are enrolling that client into their second unit. Since commencing with this program, I have had some challenges mainly due to the rapid growth of the participant numbers and the necessity to maintain an engaging environment. Through hard work and the odd cyclone, I’ve managed to maintain consistent numbers. We are at the point now I need a small bus to pick up the number of participants attending the program on a regular basis! I’ve also been fortunate to have had Kristie join the team, because with Kristie managing the admin side, I get to focus on the delivery of some quality training.

NEWSLINE - December 2017

Picture
With Christmas just around the corner, it is time for Progressive Training’s last Newsline article for the year, and what a year it has been…

2017 has seen a significant shift in direction for Progressive Training. This directional shift has bought with it a few challenges, but in the main, has produced very positive results and has well and truly set Progressive Training up for a great start to 2018. This could not have been achieved without the dedicated and professional team we have on board and I’d like to publicly thank all our Staff and Contractors (new and not-so-new) for their efforts this year. Through your combined efforts, you have made it possible to look back at 2017 with a smile and look forward to a successful 2018 with an even bigger smile.

Introducing New Staff Members

It’s fantastic that Progressive Training once again are able to introduce new team members, having employed more staff since the last edition…

Mitchell Heffernen, Laurice Dahmen and Mal Crawford have started with Progressive since we published the last Newsline and it is an absolute pleasure to have them on board. Mitchell comes to us with a wealth of Glass and Glazing experience and in the short time he has been with us, has already become an integral part of the
Progressive team.

Mitchell is responsible for the delivery of training and assessment for the Certificate III in Glass and Glazing with a focus on the processing stream. Mitchell is not only Trade and TAE qualified, but has numerous other qualifications that he is able to access from his tool box of experience, specifically in Management and Finance.  


Laurice is our newest new team member, having started with Progressive in the last few weeks. Laurice or ‘Re’ as she prefers to be called, will be working with us in a part-time capacity and will be assisting by wearing two hats… Finance and Administration. I won’t steal Re’s thunder by explaining her background as she has been kind enough to put a few words together for our final Newsline edition as an introduction.

Mal Crawford is Progressive Training’s ‘foot on the ground’ in the eastern states. Mal started with Progressive Training in October this year and has taken up a position with Brindabella Christian College in Canberra, as the Human Resources Admin Support. Whilst Mal is geographically separated from us, he is very much a valued member of the team and we appreciate all he is doing. So, to Re, Mitchell and Mal, it is wonderful to have you on board with us and we are all very much looking forward to working with you.
