On Friday 16th October 2015, Geoff Feddersen from Progressive Training participated as an Industry Judge for the World Skills Electrical Trades Regional Competition held at Durack Institute of Technology.
 
The competition was a high pressure situation with competitors only being given a limited amount of time to complete a project that included the installation of 3 x Final Sub Circuits (Power, Lights & DOL Motor/Pump) via the use of several wiring systems including Steel Conduit, PVC Conduit, Corrugated Conduit, 50mm x 50mm Duct, 16mm x 25mm Duct as per provided plans. All wiring, connections and enclosures including a 11 Pole load centre as the Distribution Board were to be installed to set dimension tolerances while meeting AS/NZS and Local Compliance.

Thursday 12th September 2013, marked an exciting day for both Progressive Training and Glass Co, as a celebration took place to congratulate Craig Phillips, Adam Pollard and Steele West on completion of their apprenticeships. During the celebration, Craig, Steele and Adam were presented with their Certificates to mark the successful completion of their training. This is the second group of apprentices to complete all training in Geraldton.

As there are package and version changes occurring regularly, the Scope and Training Operations Department is constantly kept busy checking, updating and modifying. It will always be a continuous circle of improvement.

Towards the end of this year and early in the New Year, it is likely there will be some big changes to some of the packages we have on Scope. Just three of these packages that will be affected are:
• TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
• RII09 Resource & Infrastructure, and
• BSB07 Business

These changes will be quite significant and will require a great deal of time, energy and patience to implement. So, be aware, they are coming!
