TRAINING PACKAGE CHANGES
I mentioned in the December 2015 issue of Newsline there had been several Training Package changes throughout the year which affected the Resources and Infrastructure and Business industries.  Just recently we also received notification that the Glass and Glazing and the Training and Education Training Packages have been upgraded.

February has gone and we are into our third month – WOW – time is flying by.  

If anyone was lucky enough to have some time off over the Christmas New Year holiday period, I hope that it was enjoyable and everyone has returned healthy, happy and rearing to go for what the New Year may bring.

I was very fortunate to have around six weeks off and spent most of that time in spectacular Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Bali, along with my family and some great friends.  

Considering there were six children and six adults in the mix, we all traveled well together, and yes, we are still talking to each other!  The mode of travel varied greatly from planes, trains, mini vans, taxis, tuk tuks, boats along the Mekong and even an elephant. There are so many great places we saw  that I would have to provide a list of my most favourite as I just could not possibly list one.  Halong Bay, Luang Prabung, Mekong River and Chiang Rai would have to be just a few on that list.

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!
