Vocational Education and Training (VET) is education and training that focuses on providing skills for work.
In Australia all VET is primarily conducted by Registered Training Organizations (RTO’s) under the auspices of the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).
RTO’s often establish 3rd party arrangements allowing non-RTO’s to undertake the training and assessment in the name of the RTO. First Aid Bowen has a 3rd party arrangement with PADI Asia Pacific Pty Ltd, RTO #6729 - http://www.padirto.com and under this arrangement training at First Aid Bowen is delivered by PADI-RTO #6729.
Whilst all RTO's must have both trainers and courses that meet minimum ASQA requirements, it is important when choosing an RTO that you are satisfied the experience and training infrastructure of the RTO best meets your needs. Both topic knowledge and the delivery of the training by skilled and experienced trainers supported by first class training aids and materials are critical.
First Aid Bowen chose to enter into the arrangement with PADI-RTO as we believe that they offer superior training courses, materials and support from their large international training organisation which focuses solely on training.
PADI Asia Pacific Pty Ltd, RTO #6729 is part of the Professional Association of Dive Instructors group, the largest dive training operation worldwide (first aid being a key integral component of dive training). Diving is a potentially high risk environment that requires a high level of training skills by trainers and as such PADI is a very significant international organization that rigorously monitors all training activities to ensure high quality standards are maintained.
For our students this means that First Aid Bowen provides superior/specialist training ensuring your needs are fully met.
