Performance Training Pty Limited has been a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) since January 1, 1998.  Initially we became an RTO to reassure our clients of our ability to provide quality training resources and to reinforce their confidence in our products.

Over recent years, the purpose of our RTO has expanded resulting in a division of the company into two seperate businesses. Performance Training Pty Limited continues its RTO services while Pertrain Pty Limited continues to specialise in creating training resources. This expansion was necessary to meet client demands for a full range of vocational options including competency and licencing requirements. Performance Training's focus is on providing the right training, at the right time, to the right people.

If you would like to talk about a potential partnership with Performance Training to support your business, developing career pathways for staff, gaining qualifications for yourself or employees, contact Errol Thomas at info@performancetraining.com.au


Verification of our status as an RTO can be viewed at the National Training website:  http://training.gov.au/

SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) is a widely accepted set of technical standards for the creation of online training, or e-learning, resources.

Pertrain can create training resources and inductions that are SCORM 1.2 compliant and will upload seamlessly into your LMS.

This article on Wikipedia provides basic information about SCORM.

After listening to the feedback from our clients the generic TAKE 5/ HAZOB risk assessment booklet has been revamped and reordered and will be available for sale mid November.

The Take 5 booklet ensures that you stop and think about what you are going to do before you commence work.  It includes a series of targeted questions to help you to:

• identify potential hazards that could impact you, your workmates, the environment and/or equipment while you are performing your work
• assess the hazards to determine the level of control that is required
• apply controls to manage the risk.

These booklets can be purchased as they are direct from our website or they can be customised to suit your specific requirements. For more information call Pertrain on 07 5445 2233.

People often ask me what is our unique selling point.  I used to say things like:

• a proven track record and experienced gained over 30+ years in industry
• the numerous awards we have received
• our expansive work archives that enable us to deliver innovative solutions at competitive prices
• the diversity of our expertise and skills.

But the real answer lies in a combination of these things along with a can do attitude.  We take the time to understand our clients’ business so that we can create REAL training and development solutions that are:

Relevant – content directly assists the learner to gain the skills and knowledge to work safely and competently;

Empowering – content is presented in a way that is engaging, easily remembered and designed to build confidence;

Accurate – information is technically correct, current and relays the intended message clearly and concisely; and

Logical – information is presented in a logical sequence and training and assessment delivery methodology is practical in the workplace.

Working to REAL directives and with a commitment to continuous improvement, Pertrain combines the best of industry knowledge with the latest research in Vocational Education and Training to provide practical and innovative resources that meet our clients’ needs and industry standards.
