Q: Is the course recognised training?
A: We get this question all the time because some training organisations sell you the idea that only a recognised course is worth doing or at least that a recognised course is better. My question is, recognised by whom, and for what purpose? Nationally Recognised courses are courses that are delivered as VET (Vocational Education and Training). So called Nationally Recognised courses contribute in part towards a Vocational qualification such as a Certificate or Diploma. In the case of “RIIVEH305E” it contributes in part to the following certificate qualifications.
RII30115- Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations 1-5
RII20515- Certificate II in Resource Processing Certificate II in Resource Processing 1-4
RII21215- Certificate II in Well Servicing Operations Certificate II in Well Servicing Operations 1-2
RII20215- Certificate II in Surface Extraction Operations Certificate II in Surface Extraction Operations 1-3
RII20915- Certificate II in Drilling Operations Certificate II in Drilling Operations 1-2
RII30415- Certificate III in Resource Processing Certificate III in Resource Processing 1-5
RII31815- Certificate III in Drilling Operations Certificate III in Drilling Operations 1-2
RII20615- Certificate II in Mining / Field Exploration Certificate II in Mining / Field Exploration 1-2
RII30515- Certificate III in Mining Exploration Certificate III in Mining Exploration 1-2
BSB30719- Certificate III in Work Health and Safety Certificate III in Work Health and Safety
RII32215- Certificate III in Well Servicing Operations Certificate III in Well Servicing Operations 1
RII30115- Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations
If your people aren't requiring those certificates, they don't require RIIVEH305E no matter what the training organisations may tell you. Many organisations now recognise that what they require is quality training that meets their needs and covers the necessary competencies. Over decades, we have helped many organisations develop their own training to suit their needs rather than packaged training that does not.
If are seeking such a certificate, by all means go do a “Nationally Recognised Course” otherwise, why not do a course that covers all the same competencies and more with us. We issue you a certificate on completion of the course and give you lifetime access to us for any questions.
We delivered Nationally recognised training for 12 years and it is my view that all Nationally Recognised training has done, is push up the prices of some courses. Feedback from our customers who have attended other courses is that there are still poorly run courses and "cowboy" trainers, despite being "Nationally recognised."
