From the CEO
Welcome to the third issue of Newsline for 2013 June is upon us and we are already half way
hrough the year! Have you checked out our new look website and our Facebook and LinkedIn
pages? Thanks to the combined skills of Josh and Stacey, Progressive Training now has a
social media presence and we look forward to engaging with our clients and sharing information
and feedback.
t was great to be a part of the Management Team meeting in April the members of this groupeally know where the rubber meets the road in terms of best practice within an RTO and I am
ortunate to work with such a ne group of people. Discussion was lively in terms of ensuring
hat the momentum in retaining a focus on continuous improvement is not lost. Since the
meeting I know staff have been busy with improving policies and procedures, conducting
Whats happening at Progressive Training?
a gap audit and following up the moderation and validation schedule.
Client contact remains strong and it is very pleasing to report that the partnerships recently formed between
Progressive Training (WA) Pty Ltdand Australian Glass & Glazing Association (AGGA) and Improve Group
Learning Solutions auger well for glass and glazing training in WA. The whole concept of training from within,
he cornerstone upon which this business is built continues to gain strength every day, evidenced recently with the
commencement of a resources industry traineeship lead by BHP Billiton and facilitated by Progressive Training (WA)
Pty Ltd.
As you will see in the pages to follow, we have also had a few staff changes, the completion of a public Safety
Representatives Course, a busy schedule of workshops for our WDC Co-ordinator, a wedding and a holiday or two!

Stafing UpdateThere has been a bit of movement at the staon, as they say, and we welcome a new face to the team as well as a couple of
internal moves!
Welcome to Sarah Pike who has taken on the role of Manager Training Operaons & Compliance. Sarah is not enrely new
to Progressive as she has worked with us before on special projects, technical wring and internal auding. It is great to
have her back in the fold. The main focus of Sarahs role is quality assurance and compliance in relaon to VET training and
assessment and the obligaons of an RTO in terms of the NVR standards.
Stacey Ackley has had a change to her posion and responsibilies and has recently been appointed as QA/VET TRM
Coordinator. What does this mean I hear you ask? Staceys main focus areas include being the reference point for all Trainers,
Assessors and Facilitators involved in the delivery and assessment of training as well as to ensure there are suitable resources
available that meet the requirements of relevant training packages.
David Baker remains an integral part of Progressives team and retains some of his VET co-ordinaon responsibilies but has
made the decision to work on a part-me basis to enable a bit more exibility in his life. Dont think you will get away that
easily, David, we have some interesng assignments in the pipeline for you!
Sarah, Stacey and David work closely together as VET specialists across important areas such as mapping, training strategies,and quality control including validaon and moderaon processes. We welcome all three sta into their respecve roles and
know that this team provides us with a strong balance of skill across the VET interface, an area of paramount importance to an
RTO.
Jenny Rolston - CEO
Happy Retirement RonOur favourite garden gnome and handy andy hung up his boots recently to dive into another chapter of his life and enjoy

2013 Trainees/Apprentices report
Geraldton Digital EnterprisesAer Jenny, Josh and Stacey visited the Geraldton Digital Enterprise centre earlier this year for an informaon session,
Progressive Training became eligible for 4 hours of one-on-one advice on a digital enterprise topic of our choice. Aer some
discussion, we decided that we wanted to learn a few ways to improve our business Facebook page, as well as the important
topics to include in a Social Media Policy/Procedure. Carrie from the Geraldton Digital Hub and Digital Enterprise was kind
enough to come and visit us at our business premises so that all present sta could listen to her suggesons and ask any
quesons. Carrie was very knowledgeable and the session was both informave and interesng.
At the end of the session, we decided it would be nice to have a group photo with Carrie to put in this Newsline. A p for
anyone looking for a good photographer best to avoid Geo Feddersen! Besides the blurry photo below, Geo also managed
to take a video instead of a photo. Maybe Carrie could do her next session on basic camera use hey Geo?

VET Update - Changes ahead for VET Trainers and AssessorsProgressive Training has been a buzz of acvity this year; a hive of feverish bustling and goings-on ensuring the culture of
quality and training requirements are being met in all areas.
We are very fortunate here at Progressive Training to be able to work in an environment which nurtures and promotes good
services and quality training from fantasc sta. To ensure we are on top of our game, we regularly aend professional
development sessions that are relevant in enhancing the products and services we can provide to the public.
Keeping informed of the latest development and publicaons from our governing bodies is essenal if we are to keep ahead in
his ever changing environment.
One of these changes that we would like to bring to your aenon is the ever looming date of the 1st of July, 2013. This is an
mportant date as it is the deadline set by the Naonal Skills Standards Council (NSSC) requiring trainers and assessors, who
want to remain qualied and connue to deliver Naonally Recognised Training, to upgrade their qualicaon to the new TAE.
The following is what the NSSC will be requiring once the 1st of July, 2013 arrives:
TRAINERS MUST:
. Hold the TAE40110 Cercate IV in Training and Assessment from the TAE10 Training and Educaon Training Package
as a minimum qualicaon, or be able to demonstrate equivalence of competencies; and
i. Be able to demonstrate vocaonal competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed; and
ii. Be able to demonstrate how they are connuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their
industry currency and trainer / assessor competence.
PERSONS DELIVERING TRAINING UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TRAINER MUST:
. Work under the supervision of a trainer with the TAE40110 Cercate IV in Training and Assessment or of a personwho had demonstrated equivalence of competencies; and
i. Hold the TAE10 Enterprise Trainer Skills Set or be able to demonstrate equivalence of competencies within two years of
commencing to deliver training while under supervision; and
ii. Be able to demonstrate vocaonal competencies at least to the level being delivered and assessed as well as
maintaining their industry currency.
ASSESSORS MUST:
. Hold the TAE10 Assessor Skill Set or be able to demonstrate equivalence of competencies; and
i. Be able to demonstrate vocaonal competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
ii. Be able to demonstrate how they are connuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their
industry currency and assessor competence.
Due to this, Progressive Training has been experiencing an inux of conversion requests from both the BSZ40198 and the
TAA40104 to the current TAE40110 and expect requests to increase further as we near the 1st of July, 2013.
f you need to upgrade your training qualicaon, we can certainly help. Give us a call and we will get the ball rolling for you!

Happy Birthday
Currently Im on secondment to BHPBilliton Port Hedland for a thirteen week snt. The focus of the work is to replace one
of their Electrical Crew Development Ocers while he works on a special project but also reviewing a number of training
packages. Its been great going back into the workplace and seeing how equipment has changed since I worked in the industry.
As far as procedures and safety requirements are concerned lile has changed. Many of the packages that I am reviewing and
reformang relate to High Voltage and/or electrical procedures. Another project that we are working on at Port Hedland is
developing contextualised training material in line with relevant naonal standards. The aim is that in the future an auspicing
arrangement will be set up allowing site trainer/assessors to provide the training and assessment to their own teams.
Currently there is a big push by BHP Billiton to provide inhouse training as much as possible.

Innos wedding
The month of April has been the preeminent month for Inno. On April
21st, Inno got married to the most beauful lady, (Siphetheni). The
wedding took place in Bindura, a small town which is about 90 Km east
of Harare (Zimbabwe). It was a beauful sunny day and yes, the sun did
smile for them. There were at least 700 people who aended Innos
wedding, what a substanal number. Inno arculates that this is the dayhe was made complete because the bride was ocially handed over to
him on the red carpet. Inno is so grateful that Geo and Kris Feddersen
sacriced their me and money to go to Africa and support his wedding.
Trip to Victoria
Clue - Man from ___________ (not a creek but a _________)
Can you guess where Paul had lunch? Seems like ages ago that Lyn and I headed o to Victoria for abreak over Easter. The rst week was spent at Manseld known
as the Gateway to the High Country. We stayed at a meshare
on the banks of Eildon Weir. Our days were spent driving around
the area but always managing some me in Manseld for a
coee before heading back to our accommodaon. On one of
the days we booked on a four wheel drive trip which took us up
to Mt Buller then over to Mt Srling. This area was used as the
backdrop for the movie The Man from Snowy River. You all
should know the story There was movement at the staon, for
the word had passed around That the colt from old Regret ...
Another day we headed o to Eildon where Lyn was born just a
few short years ago. While there, we asked one of the old ladies
at the tourist centre if the hospital where Lyn was born was sll
around. Great to know that things fall into place as the years go
by. It turns out that the hospital is now the old peoples home.
Enough said. We also headed o to Benalla where that young
ascal Ned Kelly spent some me in the local jail. The second week of the break was spent back in the Latrobe Valley where Lyn
and I lived before coming over to the West. It was great to catch up with family and friends. Looking forward to our next break
n September - Italy here we come.
Here at Progressive Trainingwe generally like to leave the ofce once we nish work, but for one lucky staff
member who has needed to ask for help to start HIS car many times and been late to go home. He has also given
three lovely people a work out while trying to push start his car. While trying to hold in the tears of laughter the
photographer managed to take a beautiful shot of the event! Luckily for this staff member he has now recently got a
motor bike! Many thanks to the mechanic Geoff and the three helpers trying to push start his car Erin, Sue and Inno
and also his Dad who came to his rescue!

Geoff and Kris - Zimbabwe
Geoff and Kris headed over to Africa early April to do some sight-seeing and to attend
the wedding of Innocent and Siphetheni. First, they ew to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe
and had a very enjoyable time. They went to Botswana for a Safari that began on the
Chobe River where they saw Elephants, Hippos, Crocodiles, Impala (deer) and plenty
of bird life. After having lunch at the Chobe Safari Lodge, Geoff and Kris headed off
on the Land Safari. On this trip they saw Giraffe, Impala, Water Buffalo, Baboons and
some more Elephants. They stayed in Victoria Falls at the Kingdom Hotel where they
were entertained by locals each night. It was very enjoyable and the food was good too!
While in Victoria Falls, Geoff and Kris also went on a Sunset Cruise along the Zambezi
River. They didnt see a lot of wildlife on the cruise besides some crocodiles and some
Hippos but wow! What a beautiful sunset they had that night; nearly as good as the
Geraldton sunsets!
They did get to see the falls tho and they were fantastic! If anyone gets the chance to
go there, it is denitely worth the long ight. There is about a 3km walk around the edge
of the falls with regular lookouts along the way. It was like walking through a rainforest
with the misty rain most of the way, however, there was one cleared, open area that
gave a great view of the falls! It was here that it started pouring down. It was like beingcaught in a thunderstorm and Geoff and Kris got soaked too tough to wear a rain
coat!
After their time at Victoria Falls, Geoff and Kris ew to Harare the day before the
wedding. They met Innos bride-to-be and some of his family after they had spent the
day shopping. Innos eldest brother picked them up around 9am on the day of the
wedding and drove them to Bindura where the wedding was to take place. It was a
lovely sunny day and both the bride and groom, along with the rest of the bridal party,
looked wonderful! The Pastor delivered a great service in English for Geoff and Kris
(well maybe not just for them) and they had an interpreter who spoke in Shona. They
had a great time at the wedding and were made to feel very welcome by Innos familyand friends. Geoff and Kris wish Inno and Siphetheni a long and happy life together.
