Aboard Training Australia

The Diploma of Management  BSB51107 can be attained by the ABOARD TRAINING AUSTRALIA RECOGNITION EXPERIENCE or RPL.  This Diploma of Management is recognised nationally. The RECOGNITION process is user friendly and fast, for experienced managers wishing to fomalise their skills into a NATIONAL QUALIFICATION. Aboard Training Australia has won two industry training awards in 2005, and has built the recognition process from a poor cousin of the training industry into the preferred method of nearly all experienced customers. Managing Director Frank Lee says “Aboard Training Australia is a Skilling Solutions Queensland preferred supplier of recognition. Skilling Solutions Queensland is a Queensland Government initiative that encourages the recognition process.” Other states in Australia that support the recognition process are Victoria, Western Australia, NSW, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT and Northern Territory. Benefits of the recognition process include increased confidence and self awareness, two attributes that are essential for business managers and their staff.

The $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 subsidy for seafood fishing vessel owners signing up their best deckhands for existing worker traineeship is providing some relief in the current harsh business environment. The subsidy covers  most of Aboard Training Australia ‘on the job’ training costs for coxswain and Master 5/Skipper 3 options in the qualification. Many existing skippers have taken up employment in the “golden west”mining boom leaving a shortage of skilled men to operate vessels. Aboard Training Australia and fishing operations trainer assessor Steve Taylor are now enrolling deckhands in the “Aboard Deckhand to Master” course based on the Certificate III in Seafood (Fishing Operations).  (more…)

Recognising experience gained on the job is an Aboard Training Australia core policy. In fact, it is the obligation of all registered training organisations to offer recognition of experience when requested. Aboard Training takes this obligation seriously, and offers the Diploma of  Management as the best choice for experienced managers and leaders in industries. The Diploma of Business recognition program has been the “rising star” in the range of Diploma’s offered by Aboard Training Australia. 

Commercial fisher license training is required for new and returning fishers in Queensland. The requirements of the Queensland Fisheries Service ensure that all new and returning commercial fishers have a minimum standard of awareness of endangered and protected species, and environmental issues. The Aboard Training Australia course is based on modules developed by the Queensland fishing industry, in consultation with the Queensland Fisheries Service and Seafood Training Queensland. Any Commercial fisher seeking a license or renewal of a lapsed license can access this training regardless of where they live. Aboard Training has commercial fisher license training happening in all Australian states, and currently, in the U.K. for an expat seeking to return to the Australian fishing industry.
