I met with Rod Cruise, Owen Pezitt and Greg Poskus yesterday to discuss the procedures for VETASSESS minimum gap training.

Greg presented documents

Application for work permit

Completion statement

extracts from “electrical licensing eligibility policy

Clarification was sort regarding the process and the training required for VETASSESS candidates

Rod and Owen where very helpful, and both Greg and I felt we had clarity around the process and that the ESO was fully aware of the direction we were taking.

Additional information was sought regarding eLearning Australia’s methodology for delivery of practical components. Rod Cruise offered his opinion that on the job assessment was fine for the everyday tasks performed by an apprentice but for the more technical scientific areas a more structured environment was needed. I suggested that a mobile workshop (van/ute etc) fitted out with appropriate equipment was our preferred option, to which he was agreeable to.

Additional insight into the area of license categories (fitter, mechanic and Fitter mechanic) was also obtained.
